GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AA-289 Audio Switcher is a ten input Audio Switcherdesigned to operate as the AUDIO FOLLOW Switcher for an IRT VideoSwitcher. For Stereo Audio applications two AA-289 Switchers canbe controlled from one Video Switcher by connecting the Tallycontrol lines to each of the two AA-289 Switchers.
The AA-289 Audio Switcher can also be used as a STAND-ALONEAudio Switcher when it is controlled from a VA-291 Control Panel,again for Stereo applications two AA-289 Switchers can becontrolled from one VA-291 Control Panel by connecting thecontrol data lines of the VA-291 to each of the AA-289 Switchers.
Provision is made on the AA-289 and the VA-291 to link pairs ofthe units together and so implement a 20x1 Audio Switcher.
The input circuit of the AA-289 is designed to bridge across abalanced 600 ohm line. The output circuit will drive two 600 ohmbalanced circuit loads, to a maximum level of +20 dBm.
An internal 240 Volt AC powered regulated Power Supply suppliesthe operating voltages for the AA-289 circuitry.
The AA-289 is housed in an IRT one rack unit (44mm high) 483mm(19 inch) rack mounting metal chassis. The Input and Outputcircuit connections are by means of compression screw terminalstrips mounted on the edge of the main printed circuit board,accessible from the rear panel of the unit. Control input signalsare connected via a pair of 25 pin "D" Connectors mounted on therear panel, which are wired in parallel to allow the looping ofthe control signals to an extra AA-289 for Stereo applications.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Audio Input signals are switched by Relays RL1 to RL10 tothe input circuitry of feedback amplifiers composed of (U8.Q11and Q12) and (U9,Q13 and Q14).the input to each amplifier is ACcoupled to eliminate any DC off-set that may be present on theincoming Audio signal. Each amplifier has a gain of two to boostthe signal level so that an overall gain of unity is achievedwhen the output signal is terminated by a 600 ohm load.The output circuitry is DC coupled through sourcing resistors
R43 to R46 to set the output impedance of the amplifier.
A feature of the circuitry is the isolation between each sideof the balanced Audio circuit, achieved by using non-invertingamplifier circuits. This gives equal loading on each side of thebalanced Audio lines, and allows the AA-289 to be used to switcha Stereo pair of Unbalanced Audio Circuits. Since unbalancedAudio circuits normally have an input impedance greater than 10Kohms the gain in the amplifiers is then not required and couldbe changed to unity by removing resistors R34 and R40.
Note the links LK1 and LK2 which (when completed) allow therelay common Audio circuit to be looped via TB2 to another AA-289when a 20x1 switcher system is implemented.
The Control circuit of the AA-289 is arranged so that thecontrol signal can be either a single ground contact to one often inputs OR a 4 bit BCD (TTL level) signal. The one of tengrounding inputs makes the AA-289 directly compatible with theVA-141 Video Switcher TALLY circuit and thus can be used as anAudio Follow Switcher for the Video Switcher. A ground on one ofthe 10 control inputs is inverted by U2 or U3 and the resultinghigh logic level is passed through an OR gate U4 or U5 to switchon the appropriate relay driver transistor (Ql to Q10). Note the10K ohm, luF RC network in the base circuit of each BC107 relaydriver transistor, this interfaces the 5 volt logic to the basecircuit of the transistor and also acts to give a faster TURN-OFFthan TURN-ON switching action to the transistor . This means thatwhen switching between Audio signals the original signal isreleased a few milliseconds before the next signal is switchedthrough to the output.
The BCD input allows the AA-289 to be used as a STAND-ALONEAudio Switcher together with a VA-291 Control Panel. A VA-291control panel is a 10x1 switch panel with its own encoder andtally circuitry, it requires power from the AA-289 switcher andoutputs a 4 bit BCD (TTL level) signal to control the switchingof a AA-289. Provision is made on a VA-291 to deselect acompanion control panel when two panels are used together withtwo AA-289 switchers to implement a 20x1 Audio Switcher. A 4 bitBCD signal applied to the inputs of Ul will be decoded to a oneof 10 signal to be passed through an OR gate U4 or U5 to switchon the appropriate relay driver transistor.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the one of 10 grounding input circuitry is used to controlthe AA-289, pullup resistors RN3 apply a 1111 signal to inputs ofUl the decimal decoder overranging its circuit and no output willbe selected by it. Note this feature is not available in the 4028decoder 1C of some manufacturers care must be taken ifreplacement is ever necessary.
Similarly when the 4 bit BCD signal is used to control the AA-289, pullup resistors RN1 give logic low signals at the outputsof U2 and U3 and no output will be selected from the one of 10control input circuits.
The power supply consists of two bridge rectifier circuits andthree terminal integrated circuit regulators to provide +/- 15volts to operate the audio amplifiers, +12 volts for the relaysand + 5 volts for the logic circuits.

INSTALLATION
The AA-289 is housed in a 483mm (19 inch) rack mounting chassisone rack unit (44mm) high.
Signal Connections are by means of compression screw terminalstrips, which plug into sockets mounted on the rear of theprinted circuit board and protruding through the rear panel ofthe chassis. The Input and Output connection sets consist ofgroups of three terminals vis. Active+; Active-; Ground. Input 1to the left of the chassis looking at the rear.
Control Signal Connections are made to a pair of 25 pin 'D'sockets on the rear panel.Note: The 25 pin connectors are wired in parallel to allow one
to be used for control signal wiring from the control switcher orcontrol panel and the other to loop control wiring to a secondAA-289 when pairs of switchers are used as a Stereo Switcher.This eliminates the need for wiring different cable sets to thesame plug.
The Connections are:a) For interfacing to a VA-141A Video Swithcher

Note 1. when connecting two AA-289 and two VA-291 unitstogether to make a 20x1 Audio Switcher complete links LK1 and LK2on the AA-289 circuit board and wire the two switchers audiocommon circuits together by connections to terminal blocks TB-2.
Note 2. when looping the control signals from a VA-291 controlpanel to two AA-289 switchers for Stereo operation, only loop thecontrol and ground wiring, between the AA-289 swithers. DO NOTloop the +15 volt line. The AA-289 switchers source the +15 voltsto operate the VA-291 circuitry, thus only one AA-289 must haveits +15 volt line connected to the VA-291 control panel.
