3 C-10 family of consoles hree models to choose from... he C-10 family of consoles comes in 3 models. hey all have the same front panel operation and differ only in the types of input sources that they accommodate. he choice of model tailors the console to your specific studio application. hree models, same front panel wo of the models (C-10 & C-10P) support standard consumer style source equipment with off the shelf cables for installation similar to a home stereo system. he third model (C-10BP) supports balanced Pro sources which may require custom cables by an experienced radio technician.

If the console is to be used without a PC, internal jumpers allow channel 9 to be reassigned as an unbalanced, stereo, C phono input channel. Consumer vs Pro Source evices udio wiring he main difference between consumer and pro gear is that the pro device has balanced signal wiring (2 signal wires plus shield for both left and right) which makes the pro device less susceptible to hum and noise than the consumer device. Balanced wiring becomes very important if the audio cable is more than a few feet long (~6 feet). Most Consumer grade sources use C phono plugs while most balanced Professional grade sources use X connectors. nbalanced C phono plugs Balanced X connectors udio evels o further reduce noise interference, Pro sources use a higher signal level (+4dBu) than Consumer sources (-10dBu). his requires level matching if consumer and pro sources are mixed in a studio. Control ogic Professional audio sources typically will have a logic interface so that playback can be started and stopped from the console channel n-off button. his logic cable and connector is typically different for every audio source and must be custom made by an experienced technician. he C-10 console has a logic signal for each channel that allows a custom interface to be made to start and stop pro audio sources.
