The original Soundtracs Jade was, to many, the

perfect production console.

So clear was the sound, so packed with intelligent

features and so easy was it to use that many said it

could not be improved on.

Well they were wrong.

The new Jade-S represents a remarkable refinement

on a console said to be perfect.

A combination of the finest in audio specification,

leading edge DSP technology, a proven moving fader

automation system and LCRS format mixing.

Being both stunning to look at and a joy to use, the

Jade-S is a thoroughbred, dedicated to performance and

it once again sets a new standard in music production.

Of course the legendary Jade sound is left intact, a

reflection on Soundtracs’ continued design philosophies

of only using extended bandwidth electronics which

reduce distortion, input/output/bus balancing which

reduce RFI and high component grade, ultra low noise,

maximum ground plane PCBs.

Signal coherence and audio integrity is thus ensured.

But when was it ever not with a Soundtracs console?

Reliability is designed in, problems designed out and

the performance totally unsurpassed.

Available in frame-size configurations from 24

channels to 56 channels - providing a total maximum of

112 inputs in mixdown - the Jade-S is without doubt

the finest production console available.

The Channel Input StageDiscrete low noise transistors with constant current mirrors

mean that the ‘wide range’ balanced input stage delivers low

distortion and rock-solid audio stability. It features

padless gain for improved signal to noise ratio, 48volt

phantom power for capacitor microphones, phase

switch, tape trim, direct to tape routing and selection

of input channel or monitor channel metering.

The Channel EqualiserSoundtracs have an enviable world reputation for

quality equalisation. - The Jade-S not only builds on

it, it sets a new standard.

The key is the revolutionary frequency dependent

boost which combats the effects on non-linearity in

music and ear at the extremes of the audio spectrum. With

FdB Parametric Equaliser™ the 4 band parametric equaliser

gently increases its gain from 15dB to 20dB as the filter is

swept. The result is superior and more effective equalisation

at 20KHz and 20Hz.

Shelving and swept Hi and Low filters and two fully

parametric mids, (which can be switched to the monitor

section), deliver smooth and exciting EQ while the roll off

filter provides tight control of the sub bass without removing

bass presence.

- It all represents one of the finest channel equaliser

sections available on a console today.

The Monitor EqualiserBelow the channel EQ is the flexible monitor EQ -

a 2 band shelving filter.

In addition, the mid filters from the channel EQ

can be switched into the monitor section or the channel can

be flipped for full EQ on the monitor.

The Auxiliary SendsAccess to no less than 12 auxiliary sends are

provided, with a myriad of routing options available

to the user. 1-2 and 3-4 are pre or post fade stereo

sends and can be linked for simultaneous sends

from channel and monitor sections. In LCRS mode

the stereo sends allow you to position signals

anywhere in a 2-dimensional surround matrix. Aux

3-4 has access to the groups providing no less than

24 additional sends on mix-down. The 8 mono Aux

sends (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) are post fade sends and

can be switched in pairs into the monitor section.

The Assignable Dynamics ProcessorEach channel on the Jade-S is fitted with a digitally

controlled dynamics processor which provides ultra-fast, ultra-

accurate gating, compression, limiting, modulation and

expansion, with total recall and reset.

The Monitor Input StageThe all-important monitoring section of the Jade-S gives the

kind of control over a second input channel for which

Soundtracs is famous. Control for pan, source, solo, safe and

mute are present with selectable automation of mutes and

60mm fader movement available via the built-in automation

system of the Jade-S. In addition, the mix switch simply flips the

mode from record to mix bringing the tape returns through

the channel with the monitor becoming a second

input. A group switch provides fader control of the

group output level.

The Channel ControlsRoute the signal to groups, to mix or direct to

tape. Reverse the operation of monitor and channel

faders. Solo, mute and make safe a channel. - All the

control you need with the addition of user selectable

automation of mute and 100mm channel fader.

The ConnectionsBalanced mic, line, monitor and group. Semi balanced insert

point. +4dB or -10dB tape inputs and outputs. The

Soundtracs Jade-S is blessed with all the connections you

need.

A paragon of audio integrity and clear, ergonomic design,the Jade-S Input/Output module rightly contains

all the features and sonic purity you would expectfrom Soundtracs, laid out in a way

that’s easy to understand and easy to use.

The Stereo Input ModuleThe stereo module is another example of Soundtracs clear

understanding of what’s required in a professional studio in

the 90’s.

It’s designed to accept stereo line level signals from CD

players, DAT machines, etc so that stereo program can be

processed and mixed. It has facilities to reverse left and right

signals, a 4 band fully swept FdB Parametric Equaliser™

section, access to the 12 auxiliary busses in mono or stereo,

routing to 24 track and a stereo width control.

Fader and mute automation is also present.

There’s even two assignable buttons for remote controlling

stereo machines.

The Jade-S features 4 channel surround LCRSmixing complete with two joysticks allowing theengineer to dynamically pan signals around thesoundfield for musical or picture-synced effects.

LCRS Format MixingIn keeping with today’s production needs, the Jade-S allows for mixing

in two formats - stereo (LR) and 4 channel surround (LCRS).

Switching between the two mix modes is via a simple button push.

Any channel or monitor can be positioned independently anywhere in

the LCRS soundfield using the Aux 1&2 and 3&4 levels and pan controls

in conjunction with the main LR busses and panning controls. In addition

two joysticks beneath the master module facilitate dynamic panning

control of signals in the soundfield while a divergence control is

provided allowing the mix engineer to determine the degree of

separation between L, C and R busses.

The master fader controls and automates

levels for all 4 outputs (which all appear on

the patchbay), and C and S busses can be

alternately metered using the Solo LED

metering above the master module.

Gating and ExpansionBecause of the sensitivity of the ear to transients, any

professional gate must have an extremely fast attack time so it

can open quickly and allow the transients through.

Designers of analogue gates have strived to increase the

attack time and it is now generally accepted that a good gate

will have an attack time of under 20 microseconds.

Yet the gates in the ADP achieve an incredible attack time of

just 5 microseconds - there’s nothing faster.

This means sharper response and tighter gating.

They’re flexible too, with parameters for attack, hold, decay,

range and hysteresis and the ability to store favourite gates.

They can even be linked to other channels for full stereo

operation and keyed from another channel for triggered effects

and pre-gating.

Compression and LimitingOffering much more than conventional analogue

compressors, (variable control of threshold, attack, release,

ratio, knee and output plus stereo linking), the compressors on

the ADP offer quite possibly the best compression on the

market today.

In conjunction, the ADP also offers excellent limiting facilities

allowing the compressors to operate up to, but not beyond,

the limit threshold.

Modulation and EffectsTotal movement of signal level and pan in the audio mix is

available through the ADP - be it static or continuous.

And with such control.

Modulate the level of any channel for tremolo and pulse

effects, synchronise pan to the modulation of another channel -

the creative possibilities are endless.

The optional Soundtracs Assignable Dynamics Processorrepresents a major advance in high quality dynamicsprocessing using DSP’s to provide fully assignable and

recallable dynamics on every JADE-S channel.

The Auxiliary MastersThe most extensive control over the 12 balanced auxiliary

signals leaving a Jade-S Production Console is provided: Level,

AFL and user selectable soft mute automation for each

individual Aux master.

The Oscillator and Talkback SystemA built-in oscillator with tones of 10kHz, 1kHz and 100Hz

can be routed to the group, for slating to tape, to auxiliaries

for lining up effects, and to the direct output on the

patchbay.

A flexible 2-way talkback system allows the engineer to talk

and listen to the studio, aux busses, groups or the direct

output on the patchbay.

The Solo SystemTwo solo options are available to the user of a Jade-s

Production Console: PFL, and Inplace Solo - where all other

inputs are muted when a channel solo button is pressed.

The Studio OutputThe +4dB balanced output level feeding the headphones in

the studio area is controlled via the studio output and can be

muted to prevent headphone spill. Any combination of Aux

1-2, Aux 3-4, 2 tracks A,B,C,D, external 1 and 2 and the mix

can be sent via the patchbay as a headphone mix.

The Control Room OutputNo less than 3 speaker outputs, stereo or LCRS master

stems and headphone cues and mix can be monitored by the

impressive control room output section.

There is also a mono button for checking mono

compatibility, a mute button, solo level and headphone level

controls.

Moving Fader & VCA AutomationThe Jade-S console incorporates moving fader

automation for all channels, VCA fader automation for

monitor faders and the master fader, and also

automates all mutes. Derived from the proven

Solitaire automation system, it provides frame

accuracy for faders, quarter frame accuracy for mutes

and 12 bit sampling of fader levels (4,096 steps). VCA

automation is also available. All data is stored internally

in non-volatile RAM, and can be archived to MIDI

devices or on a PC. The system synchronises and

generates MTC in all framerates, and is capable of

MIDI machine control using the dual MIDI port sets

(IN, OUT and THRU x 2). Fader positions can even

be converted into MIDI continuous controllers to

remote control the parameters of other studio

equipment. A high visibility head-up timecode display

is built-in to the meterbridge.

Four Modes of OperationThe REC and PLY buttons allow one of four modes to be

selected and the LED's show which mode is current -

RECORD, PLAY, TRIM or ISOLATE. They also flash to show

the nulling direction. The motorised faders utilise a touch-

sensor circuit to allow autotakeover and Snatch modes.

Global fader and mute modes can also be selected from the

menu driven, master control panel with LCD display. Nulling is

possible either manually or automatically (with a variable

computer controlled null time), or the system can operate in

Crash record. A Safe mode is provided to protect automation

on individual channels.

Completely Self ContainedThe entire system is self contained and operates from the

on-board controller - no external computer system is required.

However, for additional fader display, archiving and extensive

graphical off-line editing requirements, Soundtracs has

developed an advanced GUI software package running on a PC

platform. This software is included with the Jade-S and allows

users to cut, copy and paste together mixes faster than

realtime. A trackerball in the master section

facilitates this.

VCA Mixing GroupsMixing can be further simplified by assigning input faders to

be controlled by one of the 8 dedicated VCA faders. A single

VCA master can fade a stereo balance of inputs,

preserving their relative levels even if faded to off

and then restored. (note an external PC is

required for this feature).

Quite simply the most flexible, feature-packed and usableautomation available on a production console.

The Jade-S patchbaycan be configured with amaximum of 320 tielines.

Jade-S PatchbayThe Jade-S Production Console can be fitted with a

comprehensive TT patchbay for immediate access to all inputs

and outputs.

Two types are available: Standard or metal Mosses & Mitchell

for more demanding applications.

The Jade-S patchbay comes pre-wired for up to 48 tracks

and 96 tie lines, expandable to 320 tie lines, and has auxiliary

normalling for easy wiring.

Jade-S MeteringEvery input/output channel has a 30 segment bargraph meter

which displays recording levels to and from multitrack tape or

switched to view channel input levels. These meters are peak

or VU reading and calibrated for an accurate visual

representation. In addition, two large VU meters monitor the

master L and R output levels.

Internal Jumper LinksInternal jumper links are provided to select +4dB or -10dB

levels on group outputs and tape returns. Pre or post fade on

input channel auxiliaries 5 to 12 are internally selectable, as is

+48v on the listen mic input.

Master Rear Connector PanelThe master rear connector panel gives access to all inputs

and outputs including the master outputs, auxiliary outputs, 2

track sends and returns and tape I/O.

The PSU connector, listen mic, digital control lines and earth

are also located on the master rear connector panel.

Jade-S metering is clear, concise andcomprehensive with LED’s & twin VU’s.

Easy access to the inputs and outputs of a console pluscomprehensive metering are of paramount importance

and here, the Jade-S yet again delivers.
