for the louvred top cover (see Figure 10).

Type of Installation

A typical broadcast installation for a two

studio system is shown in Figure 12. The
Type BC -2B Consolette is shipped from the
factory with the jumpers on terminal board
4TB2 wired for two -studio installation. How-
ever a small change in the connection of
these jumpers will permit the consolette to
be used with four microphones in single -
studio installation. Refer to Figure 11 which
shows the position of the jumpers for each
type of installation. This information is
also included in the connection diagram,
Figure 23.

Mounting

The consolette should be installed in the

control room together with the MI -11313 Power
Supply. To avoid hum, locate the power supply
