This guide will assist with starting up and operating a Sportsound®

SSR-100 Gen III audio rack. For detailed operation, conguration,

and troubleshooting, refer to the Sportsound Rack SSR-100 Gen III

Operation Manual (DD3953255), available at www.daktronics.com.

Setup

Place the rack on a at, sturdy surface. Remove the front and rear

cover pieces by releasing all latches; set the covers aside.

1. Announcer’s Interface setup is described below. Refer also to the

quick guide (DD3083838) shipped with the device.

a. Connect the 2' (610 mm) XLR cable between the microphone

and the MIC 1 INPUT jack.

b. Connect headphones to the 1/4" or 1/8" jack.

c. Connect the provided 12 VAC wallpack transformer to the

power input jack, and then use the tab above the power jack

as a strain relief for the power cord.

2. Connect the 15' (4.6 m) XLR cable from MIC 1 & AUX 1 on the

announcer’s interface to the MIC 1 & AUX 1 (OUT 2) jacks on the

front of the rack. Also, plug the wallpack transformer into one of

the power outlets on the front of the rack.

3. Connect the 1/8” to 1/8” cable (part # W-3511512) between the

MUSIC input on the Multimedia Mixer and the headphone jack of

a laptop or MP3 player.

4. Connect the 25' (7.6 m) XLR cable between the MAIN OUTPUT

(OUT 1) jack on the front of the rack and the SYSTEM AUDIO

jack on the bottom of the ber box. If there is no ber box, as in

an indoor system, the cable typically connects to a wall plate

junction box.

5. Plug the 3-prong power cord in the rear of the rack into a

standard outlet. Ensure the ber box (if included) also has power.

6. Turn on the power strip, mixer, and optional wireless receiver(s).

7. Switch the SIGNAL to ON.

Follow the above steps in reverse order to power down the system.

Place all accessories in a secure location to avoid damage/theft.

Input Sources

Ensure all source equipment is turned on and operational. If any

optional wireless microphone systems are included, refer to Page 3.

Mixer Operation

For each channel (input source) in use, verify the green LED is

illuminated, and then turn up the knob until the red LED starts to light,

and then turn it down by one half to one full number.

Note: For each MIC input, depress the LOW CUT button as needed

to help increase speech intelligibility.

Adjust the OUT volume level(s) to achieve the nal output. If the red

LED(s) illuminate, decrease the level(s).

Remember: Bad input = bad output. No adjustment on the mixer

can make a poor source sound better. For best results, be sure to use

high-quality audio les from your MP3 player or laptop, and set the

device to near full volume.

Whenever red LEDs are illuminated on the mixer, this is generally a

sign that input settings need adjustment. PROLONGED OVERLOAD

OUTPUT SIGNAL WILL DAMAGE THE AUDIO SYSTEM!

Surge Protector

The power strip features a 15A breaker. If the breaker trips, press

the small button next to the power switch to reset it. The green

POWER ON LED and the red SURGE PROTECTED LED should both be

illuminated when the rack is plugged into a functioning outlet and

powered on.

Ensure any antennas are angled outward at

~45◦. Alternately, coaxial cable from the high

gain antenna kit may be connected into the

jacks off to the sides of the wireless receiver(s).

The antennas should be located within 50'

(15.2 m) of the rack, using desktop stands or

mounted to the ceiling.

Mixer DIP Switch Settings

1. DUCKER ON/OFF

ON (default) = When audio is

sensed above a threshold at

MIC 1 and/or MIC 2 inputs, all

other inputs will be reduced

to the level set by the ducking

level (switch 2). All other inputs

will gradually come back

up to normal output level

automatically. Note that the CV Input will mute all other inputs of

mixer when signal is sensed above a threshold regardless of this

switch setting.

OFF = Signal levels will not be automatically reduced. Exception:

the CV Input will mute all inputs.

2. DUCKING LEVEL

-15 (default) = When ducker is active, MIC 3 & 4, MIC/LINE 1 & 2,

RCA 1 & 2, and MUSIC inputs will be reduced by 15dB.

-70 = When ducker is active, MIC 3 & 4, MIC/LINE 1 & 2, RCA 1 &

2, and MUSIC inputs will be muted

3. LIMIT 1 ON/OFF

ON (default) = OUT 1 level will be limited to threshold (switch 4).

OFF = OUT 1 level is not limited – improper use of mixer with limiter

off may damage sound system!

4. LIMIT 1 THRESHOLD

+4 (default) = Allows OUT 1 to reach full line level output while

protecting against improper use and large signal spikes.

-6 = Reduces OUT 1 output level while providing the greatest

protection against improper use of the sound system.

5. LIMIT 2 ON/OFF

ON (default) = OUT 2 level will be limited to threshold (switch 6).

OFF = OUT 2 level is not limited – improper use of mixer with limiter

off may damage sound system!

6. LIMIT 2 THRESHOLD

+4 (default) = Allows OUT 2 to reach full line level output while

protecting against improper use and large signal spikes.

-6 = Reduces OUT 2 output level while providing the greatest

protection against improper use of the sound system.

7. ALARM NC/NO

N/O (default) = Use with Normally Open re alarm contacts –

mixer output will MUTE when contacts are closed.

N/C = use with Normally Closed re alarm contacts – mixer output

will MUTE when contacts are opened.

8. PHANTOM POWER:

ON = Supplies 48VDC to MIC 1–4 inputs to power condenser

microphones.
