It is highly suitable for use in pubs, dancingschools, conference centres etc. The Crew is equipped with three microphone inputs and 11 stereo-line inputs. Channel 1 has a talk-over circuit to improve the speech intelligibility. This circuit, which is triggered by the microphone signal from channel 1 (i.e. it is voice-activated), ensures that this signal overrides all others. The talk-over function can be disabled with the TalkOver switch on the front. By default two output zones are available (master A and master B). These zones have a dual equaliser, balance and gain-control. In addition a maximum of four output modules (outputs zones) may be added. The volume of these additional zones is externally adjustable (with a potentiometer or an external regulation voltage). Master A output is electronically balanced on XLR and unbalanced on cinch connectors. The balanced output makes it possible to use long signal-cables so that the amplifiers can be placed near to the speakers. Master B and the optional output zones are equipped with unbalanced cinch connectors.

The cabinet fits into an opening of 445 x 132 x 110 mm (W x H x D). See also the dimensioned drawings below. The 19-inch mounting bracket is 2mm thick. When installing the mixer, remember to allow sufficient room for the connectors and plugs on the Crew’s rear! CUT OUT 132 mm 110 mm 445 mm EN Dateq Crew Manual Connections 5 Crew Connectorboard At the rear all the audio in and outputs can be found, just as the euro-mains connector (with built in mains-fuse) and the optional zone outputs with the volume control inputs.

This type of output guarantees perfect signal transmission even if long audio cables are being used. These outputs are equipped with relays to prevent connected equipment from ‘plopping’ when the unit is being switched on and off. MASTER A/ B Unbalanced outputs on cinch connectors. These can be used to connect the Crew to an amplifier or recorder. These outputs are equipped with relays to prevent connected equipment from ‘plopping’ when the unit is being switched on and off. ZONE 1...4 Audio out With these outputs additional zones with separate external volume control can be created. These outputs can be used to connect external amplifiers. ZONE 1...4 Volume This input controls the volume of the additional zone. Between the tip and the shield a potentiometer or an external control voltage can be supplied. See page 7 for a more detailed explanation. CHANNEL 7...3 Cinch connectors for the stereo line inputs. Each channel has two identical inputs (line 1 and line 2) for CD-players, keyboards, MD-players etc. With the input-selector on the front on of the two inputs can be activated. Each input has it’s own gain-trimmer at the rear. CHANNEL 2 Combined mono mic/ stereo line channel with an electronically balanced microphone input on a XLR-connector and a stereo line input on a cinch connector. When using an unbalanced microphone pin 1 and pin 3 must be connected to the shielding of the cable. CHANNEL 1 This channel has two electronically balanced microphone inputs on XLRconnectors (Mic Front and Mic Rear). When using an unbalanced microphone pin 1 and pin 3 must be connected to the shielding of the cable. MAINS/ FUSE Euro mains-input. The Crew operates at 230V/ 50Hz. Fuse: 5x20mm (small), 315mA slow. For all audio cinch connectors: White = Left, Red = Right EN Dateq Crew Manual Connections 7 Zone volume control By means of this input the volume of an external zone can be adjusted. The volume control can be connected in two different ways: Supplying an external voltage When a voltage is supplied between the tip and the shielding of one of the cinch-connectors the volume will be attenuated (for both the left and the right channel). When a negative voltage is supplied the signal will be amplified. The amplification ranges from +14...-80dB. The graph below shows the amplification as function of the applied voltage: 20 10 Attenuation (dB) 0 -2 -10 0 2 4 6 8 10 -20 -30 -40 -50 -60 -70 -80 Voltage at 'volume control' (V) Connecting a potentiometer It is also possible to connect a potentiometer between the tip and the shielding to one of the cinch connectors. The attenuation ranges from 0...-80dB. A 10kOhm logarithmically potentiometer gives the best results. The next graph shows the attenuation as function of the angle of rotation: 90 80 Attenuation (dB) 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Rotation angle potentiometer (%) As a maximum four additional output zones can be connected. When an adjustable attenuation is not necessary a cinch connector with a short-circuit between the tip and shield must be connected. When the input is left open the volume will be fully attenuated. 8 Dateq Crew Manual Operation EN Microphone with TalkOver (1) A microphone can be connected to this channel (at the front, or at the rear).
