The ARREL Audio ST-502 MONITOR is an advanced monitor system for studioapplications. Its main characteristics are:
INPUTS:
1. Mixer input: Electronically Balanced. Impedance 10 Kohm, Input Level +4 dBu, Max Input level +30 dBu, DB 25 connector.
2. DAC Input: Electronically Balanced. Impedance 10 Kohm, Level +4 dBu, Max +30 dBu, XLR connector.
3. AUX Input (CD/DVD player): Unbalanced, Impedance 47 Kohm, Input Level [ -17 dBu , -2 dBu] , Input Gain control on the front panel (AUX), Pin Jack RCA on the back panel + Jack 3.5 mm on the front panel. The use of the 3.5 mm Jack on the front panel excludes the Pin Jack RCA on the back panel. The CD/DVD/ (AUX) input is amplified and balanced balanced and the output is available on the back panel (TRS Jack). The output is always active and do not depend on the selected input.
INPUT SELECTION: 3 momentary push buttons with electronic interlock (high quality audio relays).
AUDIO CONTROLS
MONO: Push button (LED) relays based
LEVEL: Precision potentiometer with large knob. Motorized potentiometer if requested together with the remote control.
MUTE L: Push button (LED)
MUTE R: Push button (LED)
DIM: Push button (LED). Attenuation from 6dB to the infinity. DIM control is actuated by the TALK push button.
OUTPUTS: 3 Outputs selected by momentary push buttons (electronic interlock)(high quality audio relays) Electronic balancing. Low output impedance External load > 600 ohm. Out level +4 dbu. Max Out level +28 dBu.
Frequency response (-1 dB) 2/200.000 Hz. Total Harmonic Distorsion + Noise THDN 0.001 %
In the ST-502, non used outputs are automatically shortened to avoid crosstalk.
DB 25 connector on the back panel.
HEADPHONE OUTPUT: Impedance > di 16 ohm. Jack TRS on the fron panel. The headphone Jack insertion deactivate the 3 outputs (the selection remains memorized)
TALK: Condenser electret Microphone on gooseneck base and XLR connector on the front panel. Gain control ( 20 dB range) on the front panel. Mic selection by the TALK push button (LED) (High quality audio relays). XLR connector on the back panel. The TALK push button activates the DIM control.
REMOTE CONTROL (Optional)
The remote control requires the installation of the motorized potentiometer. The remote control is connected to the ST-502 unit by using a DB25 standard cable (no audio signal on the connections). The controls on the ST-502 unit are replicated on the remote control.

LARGE BANDWIDTH (LBW) Large Bandwidth (LB) means a very fast transient response able to represent the original sound with the maximum temporal resolution. LB is required to improve the perception of a “real sound” and to represent the details of the original sound. |
|
PERFECT SQUARE WAVE (PSW) Large bandwidth plus very low total harmonic distortion means a perfect square wave reproduction. |
|
ULTRA LOW NOISE (ULN) Ultra Low Noise (ULN) active and passive components and ULN design techniques. This requirement is especially important when the audio bandwidth is large as in the case of ARREL Audio products. |
|
VERY HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (VHDR) Very High Dynamic Range (VHDR) means that the saturation probability of the output stages is extremely low. This is obtained by using special rail to rail circuits and by increasing the power supply voltage of the analog circuits. |
|
ELECTROMECHANICAL FAULT TOLERANCE (EFT) Electromechanical tolerance means that electromechanical components are doubled in every situation in which maximum reliability it is important due to a frequent use (switches, push buttons, potentiometers). |
|
THROUGH-HOLE TECHNOLOGY (THT) Through Hole technology means the maximum reliability in terms of thermal and mechanical stresses especially for connectors and electromechanical components. |
