Furman Sound , Inc. 1997 South McDowell Blvd. Petaluma, CA 94954-6919 USA Phone: 707.763.1010 Fax: 707.763.1310 www.FurmanSound.com info@furmansound.com AUDIO INTERFACE SYSTEM Instruction Sheet MODELS AIS-10, AIS-10E DESCRIPTION The AIS-10 Audio Interface System is a two-channel line level signal router and high quality microphone preamplifier designed to assist in making accurate acoustical measurements using computer-based analyzer software systems (e.g., SmaartLiveTM from SIA Software Company, Inc.) The AIS-10 system eliminates the need for a separate mic preamp and mixer. The AIS-10 is rugged, compact (4.5" W x 2" H x 3" D) and fits easily into a laptop case. The front panel controls include a microphone gain control, a 48 VDC phantom power switch, a reference line level input (EQ IN) control, a measurement line level input (EQ OUT) control, and a switch to select between the microphone input or the line level input (from the EQ output) on the measurement channel. The AIS-10 delivers low phase shift, a wide frequency response, and extremely low distortion and noise. Additional features include level controls optimized for measurement systems and a dual ganged output level control. The AIS-10 is powered with a 12 VAC, 500 mA external power supply included with the unit. The mixer outputs to the computer are unbalanced RCA jacks. Three balanced XLR connectors are provided for microphone and line inputs. The AIS-10 is the result of a collaboration of industry professionals with a deep commitment to providing top quality and highly useful pro-sound products. This product is the first in a series that is aimed specifically at the live sound and touring market segment. Model AIS-10E is a version which can be used in countries with 220/240 VAC mains. Model AIS-10E (unlike AIS-10) does not come with an external power supply. The user must provide an appropriate power supply ("wall wart") supplying 12 VAC at 500 mA via a female plug with dimensions of 2.1mm (inner hole diameter), 5.5mm (outer ring diameter) by 11mm (length). See connector diagram on the next page. The AIS-10E's total power draw is 3.25VA. Do not use the AIS-10E with a DC power supply, or a voltage or current rating other than specified.
