The ARC-10 family of consoles comes in 3 models. They all have the same front

panel operation and differ only in the types of input sources that they accommo-

date. The choice of model tailors the console to your specific studio application.

Two of the models (ARC-10U & ARC-10UP) support standard consumer style

source equipment with off the shelf cables for installation similar to a home

stereo system. The third model (ARC-10BP) supports balanced Pro sources

which may require custom cables by an experienced radio technician.

Important Features Common to All 3 models

Mic channels 1 & 2 are balanced XLR with optional Phantom power

Program Output is BOTH balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA

Telephone channel (ch 10) is balanced In & Out with Logic

The ARC-10U is designed for unbalanced Consumer Sources

The ARC-10U supports studios where the CD players and other sources are typical

unbalanced consumer type sources The ARC-10U features RCA phono connectors

so that your sources simply plug into the console with standard off the

shelf cables. This model is designed for installation similar to a home stereo

system.

The ARC-10UP adds a Windows PC USB sound card to Channel 9

This model is identical to the ARC-10U with the exception that input channel 9 has

a USB connector for a cable to a Windows PC. The PC can play through channel

nine and record audio from the console Audition bus. This is a Windows compatible

HID USB sound resource so that Windows audio programs (such as Media

Player) can play and record in digital from the ARC-10 console.

‘Free’ Xtreme software for the ARC-10 is included

A special version of the Arrakis Digilink-Xtreme software program is included

that supports the ARC console.

The ARC-10BP supports Balanced Pro Sources & the Windows PC

This model is designed for applications where balanced professional source

equipment will be used. The only difference between this model and the ARC-

10UP is that input channels 3-8 are stereo balanced inputs. Ei

ght wire RJ-45 connectors are used for the balanced audio connectors.

The USB PC interface on channel 9 is included standard as on the ARC-10UP. If

the console is to be used without a PC, internal jumpers allow channel 9 to be

reassigned as an unbalanced, stereo, RCA phono input channel.

Audio wiring

The main difference between consumer and pro

source equipment is that the pro device has bal-

anced signal wiring (2 signal wires plus shield for

both left and right) which makes the pro device less

susceptible to hum and noise than the consumer

device. Balanced wiring becomes very important if

the audio cable is more than a few feet long (~6

feet). Most Consumer grade sources use RCA phono

plugs while most balanced Professional grade

sources use XLR connectors.

Consumer vs Pro Source Devices

Audio Levels

To further reduce noise interference, Pro sources

use a higher signal level (+4dBu) than Consumer

sources (-10dBu). This requires level matching if

consumer and pro sources are mixed in a studio.

Control Logic

Professional audio sources typically will have a logic

interface so that playback can be started and

stopped from the console channel On-off button.

This logic cable and connector is typically different

for every audio source and must be custom made by

an experienced technician. The ARC-10 console has a

logic signal for each channel that allows a custom

interface to be made to start and stop pro audio

sources.
