Soundcraft SiO-DANTE [5/17] Card switch settings

Si Option Slot and Option Card User Guide V2.12 0813

Card Switch Settings:

IMPORTANT: Setting of DIP switches on Si 1,2,3 including ‘+’ variants is critical since the console option slots

share an expansion bus. Setting of dip switches on Si Performer, Si Compact and Si Expression is not critical as there is

an expansion bus dedicated to each option slot.

Each Si option card features 8 DIP switches arranged as two groups of four, these enable or disable inputs to or outputs

from the option card and expansion bus. The table below illustrates the function of the DIP switches found on the Si

Series option cards:

Setting any given input switch shall enable routing of the INPUTS TO THE OPTION CARD to the given channels on

the expansion bus.

Setting any given output switch shall enable routing of the SIGNALS ON THE EXPANSION BUS (outputs from the

console) TO THE OPTION CARD.

It is important to remember that the patching of I/O signals to / from the expansion bus is unrelated to the setting of the

physical switches on option cards; the card switches dictate only which channels of the option card bus the expansion

card can monitor / route to.

NOTE: There are some exceptions to the above, please refer to the Switch Settings section of each card type for full

details.
