INTRODUCTION
There are
three types of case for your RS Integrator modules: the rackmountable RS10
and RS15, plus the freestanding RS8000. Whichever combination of
these you choose, your access to the modules themselves will always be
via the inputs and outputs on their front panels. In most situations
this is ideal, but there may be occasions when you would like to make
permanent or semi-permanent connections without trailing long cables
across the front of the Integrator. The RS250 Trunk Line is the means
by which you accomplish this.
IN USE
The Trunk Line offers ten standard Integrator sockets (3.5mm mini-jacks) in
the same configuration as an RS170 Multiple or RS230 CV Buffer.
However, unlike the Multiple or the CV Buffer, the backs of these
sockets are not connected to anything - not even to each other. This
allows you to hard-wire them to other devices, or to use multiple Trunk
Lines to provide easy connection across a large Integrator panel.
If you wish
to connect CV inputs, Triggers and Gates to the rear of your
Integrator, Analogue Systems will add ten sockets to the rear panel of
your RS15, RS10 or RS8000, and install a wiring loom that connects them
to an RS250 installed in the front panel of your synthesiser. This is a
particularly convenient way to make semi-permanent connections to other
devices, especially when the Integrator is installed in a closed rack.
It also allows you to connect your Integrator's audio outputs to a
rackmount patchbay, effects units, or mixer without the clutter
of trailing cables.
