Introduction
The FCS-930 and FCS-960 are dual mode graphic equalizers; each channel
featuring 30 filter bands spaced at the standard one third octave ISO
frequency centres spanning 25Hz at the low frequency end up to 20kHz at the
high frequency end. The FCS-930 is a single channel unit, while the FCS-960
has two independent channels that may be used as a stereo pair.
The filter topology used is not based on the more common gyrator principle,
but rather on a band pass multiple feedback technique which makes less demands
on the integrated circuits at high frequencies. The resulting excellent
sounding circuit also offers good long term stability and a constant Q
response. This is also configurable to allow you to select the optimum
response shape, dependent on whether you wish to provide gentle program
sweetening, or precise single frequency tuning, such as notching room
resonances and feedback suppression.
Some of the features available within the FCS-930/960 are:
- Long 45mm fader travel for precise adjustment and control.
- Centre detente fader with electrical centre tap for true 0dB setting.
- Advanced constant Q filter topology for improved accuracy at all fader settings and excellent sonic transparency. Selectable normal or fine filter response.
- Continuously variable high pass filter, with by-pass switch.
- Gain control for system loudness normalization.
- Peak clip LED to give advance warning of signal overload.
- Channel bypass selection and power fail bypass by relays.
- Electronically balanced inputs and outputs.
- Proprietary design fader knob provides positive feel with ample finger room, virtually eliminates visual parallax errors even under low ambient light conditions
- Optional internal input and output transformer balancing.
Unpacking
As part of BSS AUDIO’s system of quality control, this product is carefully
checked before packing, to ensure flawless appearance.
After unpacking the unit, please inspect for any physical damage and retain
the shipping carton and all relevant packing materials for use should the unit
need returning.
With the FCS-930/960 will be a small packet of spare fuses. Please keep them
in a safe place.
If any damage has occurred, please notify your dealer immediately, so that a
written claim for damages can be initiated. See the Warranty section of this
manual.
Mechanical Installation
A vertical rack space of 2U (3.5″, 88.9mm) for the FCS-930, and 3U (5.25″,
133.4mm) for the FCS-960 is required. You must support the unit at it’s rear
by additional bracing or shelving if it is to be used in a transportable
system. Failure to do so will impair reliability and invalidate the Warranty.
Figure 1 details the relevant dimensions and fixing centres. Adequate
ventilation must be provided for by allowing sufficient room around the sides
and rear of the unit to ensure free circulation of air. Forced cooling is not
required. The front of the unit should not be exposed to long term direct
sunlight as this can have a detrimental long term effect on the control knobs.
The internal power supply transformer is mounted on the case rear. After a
period of time in an enclosure, the metal case will feel hot to the touch, but
this is quite normal and should not be a cause for alarm.
Fig. 1 Mechanical Dimensions
Connections
Before connecting your unit to its AC power source, check that the voltage
selector switch located on the rear panel is correctly set.
See figure 2.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are colour coded in accordance
with the following code:
Green and yellow | Earth |
---|---|
Blue | Neutral |
Brown | Live |
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol , or
coloured green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red.
Those units that are supplied to the North American market will have an
integral moulded 3 pin connector which is provided to satisfy the area safety
standards.
Fig. 2 Mains Voltage Switch and Fuse
AC Voltage Setting Safety Earthing AC Power Fusing
4.1 Voltage Setting
The mains voltage selector switch provides simple, external adjustment for
operation on all international AC power standards. At each switch position
there is an acceptable tolerance over which the performance of the unit will
not be affected and this is 90v-132v for the 120v position, and 190v-264v for
the 240v position. If you subject the unit to voltages in excess of this you
are likely to cause damage. If the mains voltage is below those specified,
there will be reduced performance before the unit finally fails to work.
4.2 Safety Earthing
The green/yellow wire of mains cord must always be connected to the
electrical installations Safety Earth or Ground. It is essential for personal
safety, as well as proper operation of the unit, and is internally connected
to all exposed metal surfaces. Any rack framework that this unit might be
mounted into is assumed to be connected to the same grounding circuit. The
FCS-930/960 has electronically balanced audio connections and does not need
disconnection of any safety earth for the avoidance of hum loops.
4.3 AC Power Fusing
The incoming mains power is fused within the FCS-930/960 by the fuse holder
mounted on the rear panel. If it needs to be replaced it must be properly
rated as: 20mm T200mA for 240v mains operation, and T250mA for 120v mains
operation. It is most important for continued safety that this specification
is adhered to, and you will have found that a spare fuse of this rating is
supplied together with your unit and manual.
It is very unlikely that this fuse will fail during normal use, and must be
treated with some caution as to the cause, if it should do so. One of the most
likely reasons will be following the incorrect setting of mains voltage switch
on the rear panel. Another reason can be the inadvertent connection of line to
line rather than line to neutral phase voltages when using a three phase power
connection. In either case internal transient suppressors can become damaged
and will consistently blow replacement fuses. You can be assured that they
have protected your unit from damage, but they will need removal to allow
further use of your unit, and should be replaced as soon as possible to ensure
continued protection. If you feel this has happened please refer to the
appropriate section at the rear of this manual for the removal and replacement
procedure.
4.4 Audio Connections
The FCS-930/960 audio inputs are RFI filtered and electronically balanced,
with the outputs electronically balanced and floating. They are designed to
operate at any signal level up to +20dBu and will drive into loads of 600 ohms
or greater. They will be ‘fuss free’, regardless of your installation’s
complexity. Figure 3 shows the connector wiring. Note that pin 1 of the input
XLR is not connected to ground.
Balanced Wiring
Whether your system is wired to a ‘pin 3 hot’ or a ‘pin 2 hot’ convention will
not matter as long as your wiring to both the input and output 3 pin XLR
connectors are the same . As is common with all other BSS equipment of this
type, we follow the convention of ‘screen goes forward with the signal’. Input
cable screening therefore needs to be derived from the signal source end as
pin 1 is ground lifted for the inputs. You should use high quality audio
cable with 2 cores + screen for low noise and reliability, and to side-step
potential problems.
Unbalanced Wiring
If the equipment driving the FCS-930/960 has only unbalanced outputs then you
will need to add a wire jumper such that the screen connection on Pin 1 of the
XLR is shorted to either Pin 2 OR Pin 3, depending on the wiring convention of
the unbalanced equipment.
If the equipment being connected to the FCS-930/960 outputs has only
unbalanced inputs, then we recommend that you still use a balanced (i.e. 2
core shielded) cable. The interconnecting cable should have it’s screen
grounded by pin 1 of the FCS-930/960 output, the pin 3 output should be
connected to the unbalanced input 0v ground, and the pin 2 output should be
connected to the live input. There should be no connection between the cable
screen and 0v/chassis ground connection of the unbalanced equipment. Strict
adherence to this will help to eliminate potential ground loop hums by
removing signal currents from the cable screen.
Fig. 3 Input and Output Connector Wiring
Ground Loop Control Powering Up
4.5 Ground Loop Control
Strict adherence to the wiring conventions noted above within a fully
balanced signal system will yield the best possible results with none of the
problems normally associated with interconnected audio equipment. Wherever
possible, cable screens should not be connected to any signal pin, but rather
left to perform a cable shielding function only.
Where it is not possible to control all of the external cabling, it might
become necessary to have the internal electronic ground of your unit separated
from the case safety ground. Provision is made internally within the
FCS-930/960 to separate these two grounds at a convenient point, or to add a
suitable impedance network as part of a house system requirement.
Please refer to a later section for information on this procedure.6.
Under no circumstances should the safety ground wire be removed from the mains
AC power connector as an interim measure to achieve similar results.
4.6 Powering Up
When the FCS-930/960 is switched on by operating the power on-off switch
located on the rear panel, the front panel LED showing the normal MODE will be
illuminated. This indicates to you that the internal power supply circuitry is
functioning correctly. The unit will also be in it’s bypass mode. Should you
subsequently have the EQ IN switch selected before power up, there will be a
slight delay before the bypass relays operate to allow time for the internal
circuitry to settle down. This ensures a silent power up without danger of
causing damage to other equipment connected to the unit’s outputs.
Control Descriptions
-
Filter boost and cut fader control. Move this fader to vary the amount of boost or cut required, at the frequency of the fader. It has a centre detent and electrical centre tap which guarantees you a precise ‘flat’ setting in the central position.
-
Gain adjustment control with +/- 10dB of range. Adjust this if you wish to balance the equalized sound with the general loudness of the unequaled sound. The control has no effect on the bypassed signal level.
-
EQ IN selector. Push to select equalization, release to bypass. The LED indicator illuminates to confirm the Equalisation in status. Bypass is achieved by using relays which ensures a complete equipment bypass.
-
Peak LED indicator gives you advance warning of possible circuit overload by illuminating 2dB before actual clip. It is monitoring signals both before and after the GAIN control [2] and will operate should any one of them exceed the danger level. Should this occur, then the signal level entering the FCS-930/960 will need to be reduced in level. If you are using large amounts of extra gain from the GAIN control then this can be backed off, but any previous balance achieved will then be lost.
-
Operate this MODE switch to change the filter bandwidth. This is confirmed by the appropriate LED illuminating, with higher selectivity, fine mode being active with the switch depressed. In general you should use the normal mode (switch out), for all general sweetening work. Select the fine mode for specialised room/speaker notching and feedback control applications.
-
Frequency control for the high pass filter. This allows you to roll off the low frequency energy of the program should it not be required. It is fully adjustable from 20Hz to 250Hz.
-
High pass filter switch selects whether the filter is in or out of circuit. Pressing the switch selects the filter, confirmed by the LED illuminating.
Rear Panel -
Mains power fuse is 20mm long and rated at T250mA for 120V voltage setting and T200mA for the 240V voltage setting. For continued protection, please always replace this fuse with the correct value.

Please take special note of the ground break on Pin 1. As with all BSS
products, the convention is ‘screen goes forward with the signal’, giving a
useful ground loop break point at the input connector. The audio lead
connected to the input must therefore have it’s screen grounded at the signal
source end.
When using a fully balanced system, either Pin 2 or Pin 3 may be the HOT
terminal.
Using the FCS-930/960 **
**
The FCS-930/960 Graphic equaliser is the result of a detailed study of sound
engineers and contractors requirements plus many hours of voice and music
program listening tests to carefully optimise the benefits of controlling
Equalisation in this ergonomically efficient and familiar manner.
The filter sets chosen are arranged in the alternate summing mode to reduce
interaction, and utilize a multiple-feedback band- pass topology rather than
the more generally used gyrator topology. This assures excellent high
frequency fidelity by placing less demands on the associated electronics. The
resulting filter shape is ‘constant Q’ giving a constant bandwidth regardless
of the amount of boost or cut selected. This produces consistent selectivity
over the whole range of fader movement.
The extra long 45mm faders are centre detente for accurate zero setting, as
well as being centre tapped. This electrical centre tap, which is grounded,
ensures each filter set is properly removed from the circuit at the faders
central position. This will give you added confidence during use, as well as
reassurance that, if a filter is not being used, it is absent from the signal
path.
Analysis has shown that the filter shape requirements depend to a large extent
on the final application for the equaliser and for this reason the FCS-930/960
is provided with a MODE selector which re configures the filter sets.
Normal Mode Mode Switch Out
Here the Q value of the filter is set to allow groups of faders to be set in a
pattern which represents fairly closely the actual amplitude response
obtained. The combining effect is smooth whilst still retaining a degree of
selectivity normally associated with a graphic equaliser. The constant Q
design allows predictable and precise control over the whole range of fader
movement.
This Normal mode would be used for all sweetening type of work where boosts
and cuts are combined to provide an overall smooth contouring response.
Fine Mode Mode Switch In
Here the filters are reconfigured to offer a higher Q value, and hence produce
less adjacent filter interaction. This requirement is consistent with
applications where high selectivity is required such as for correcting room
resonances and where a number of notches are required to be inserted to avoid
feedback. Again the filters produce a constant Q shape which allows high
selectivity for small amounts of cut or boost. A feature hard to realize on
many other graphic equalizers.
Using the FCS-930/960
In general you would use this mode where amplitude cuts are primarily being
introduced. It still however, has many applications for sweetening work as the
combining response is still acceptably ripple free.
High Pass Filter
This third order variable filter sweeps from 20Hz to 250Hz at 18dB/oct and
provides extra Equalisation in applications where precise control is required
on the low frequency energy within a system. This can be required for
protecting loudspeakers from excessive cone excursion beyond their design
limits, for optimizing amplifier headroom in passively crossed over
loudspeaker systems by limiting wasted power at low frequencies, or for
increasing intelligibility in mainly voice based applications.
Press the associated switch to select the filter, and the LED illuminates in
confirmation. De selecting the function removes the filter from the signal
path completely.
Gain Control Peak LED
This control is incorporated within the filter sections offering the facility
to balance the overall sound level, after setting the required Equalisation.
It offers a range of ±10dB, the centre position being 0dB unity gain.
When the EQ IN switch is released (Equalisation bypassed), the GAIN control is
also bypassed and does not affect the output signal level. This allows proper
A/B comparisons to be made of the program signal as the EQ IN switch is
operated.
The PEAK LED indicator monitors a number of points within the circuitry and
will indicate when the signal at any of the monitored points reaches within
2dB of clip. This is only likely to occur if the input signal to the unit is
quite large and substantial boost Equalisation is being used. In either case
the input signal to the FCS-930/960 needs to be reduced accordingly. Should
you be using large amounts of GAIN then this could also cause the PEAK LED to
indicate and suitable correction can be applied by backing-off the GAIN
control accordingly.
Filter Shape and Interaction Effects
Graphic equalizers have tremendous value in their ability to modify the
amplitude response of a sound system. They have become the most widely used
type of equaliser product for the general sweetening of a sound system, as
well as for more precise work in helping to remove unwanted resonances in a
reverberant room or removing feedback in stage monitoring systems. Their
advantages lie with the visual picture obtained by the fader positions in
representing the modifications made to the frequency response, and with the
reciprocal nature of the boost and cut effect. Their disadvantages lie in
having only certain fixed frequencies available, and with the interaction
effect of one fader on its adjacent fader. The pictorial view of a modi- fied
amplitude response as shown by the fader positions is an ‘ideal- ised’ one.
Each filter has a predetermined shape, defined by its Q value and design
topology and the actual result obtained will not necessarily be a smooth
curve, as depicted by the fader knob positions, but rather one which is
defined by the overall shape of each filter and how it combines with its
adjacent filter. For the application of general sweetening where groups of
faders will be moved to form a particular shape, a good combining effect is
desired to avoid a number of humps appearing in the amplitude response. This
requires a particular filter design which is not compatible with that needed
when greater selectivity is required for room tuning and feedback suppression.
Moreover, on some graphic equaliser designs, the Q value will vary as the
amount of boost or cut is varied, further adding to the complication.
On the FCS-930/960 we have carefully optimised the design to account for these
effects. Adding the dual mode feature allows us to reconfigure the filter
shapes to accommodate the different applications.
Using a constant Q filter design removes the width variation with boost and
cut, thus allowing more selectivity at low levels of boost and cut.
The basic amplitude shape of each filter is shown in Fig 6. The frequency is
that at the centre of the response, the Q value is a measure-

Filter Shape and Interaction Effects ment of it’s sharpness or selectivity,
and the boost/cut shape is symmetrical about the 0dB line.
Fig 7. Conventional and Constant Q Response Curves
Fig 8. Adjacent Fader Interaction
Filter Shape and Interaction Effects
Fig 7. shows the effect on selectivity as different levels of boost (or cut)
is applied, for conventional equaliser filters and for the constant Q type
used in FCS-930/960. The improvement in selectivity at low levels of boost is
clearly shown for the constant Q design. When adjacent filters are adjusted
there will always be some interaction affect, and the degree that is required
is dependent on the application. Fig 8 shows a series of curves indicating the
interaction effect when two adjacent filters are selected.
Curve A is one filter selected for 6dB of boost. Curve B shows the combined
effect when an adjacent filter is also selected for 3dB of boost. The precise
selectivity achieved by the FCS-930/960 in its fine mode can be clearly seen,
the normal mode also exhibiting improved selectivity over contemporary
designs. The gyrator design shows a very low degree of selectivity together
with a much larger change in maximum boost at the original centre frequency,
as the adjacent filter is added. Fig 9. shows another series of curves
demonstrating the effects of having 1,2,3 and 4 faders successively adjusted,
for both half and full boost fader settings.
The FCS-930/960 in it’s Normal mode shows very smooth combining properties
with almost complete absence of ripple, even at full boost. For the Fine mode
precise selectivity and minimal interaction is achieved at half boost, whilst
for full boost combining ripple is minimal. The curves

Appendix
8.1 Chassis/0v Removal
for conventional gyrator designs indicate inadequate selectivity at low levels
of boost whilst displaying nearly twice as much combining ripple at full
boost. The adjacent band interaction effect is clearly much more pronounced,
than is evident for the FCS-930/960, as each successive fader is adjusted.
The FCS-930/960 has the signal 0v ground connected to the metal chassis, which
in turn is connected to the safety ground. In the unlikely event that you need
to remove this link, or if you need to add a small impedance to reduce earth
loop currents, then proceed as follows. Since both the audio inputs and
outputs are wired fully balanced we would suggest that you fully recheck all
audio wiring for correctness, prior to proceeding.
Under no circumstances should the incoming safety ground wire be disconnected
from the power line cord, or from the internal chassis connection as an
alternative to this procedure.
- Disconnect the mains power cord and remove the unit’s top cover.
- Locate the link on the printed circuit board adjacent to the rear PCB fixing bracket marked ‘GROUND LIFT’.
- Remove this link.
The signal/0v ground is now isolated from the chassis.
8.2 Transient Suppressor Replacement
The other link, marked ‘PIN 1 TO CHASSIS’ is connecting the output XLR pin 1
connections to chassis. Under no circumstances is it recommended that you
remove this link.
The primary of the mains input transformer is protected from high voltage
spike interference by two voltage dependent resistors (VDR). These provide a
momentary short circuit to voltage peaks in excess of the normal voltage
rating.
Should your unit be inadvertently connected to three phase line/line voltages,
or to 240v when selected for 120v, or any other incorrect voltage, these
suppressors are likely to fail in a short circuit mode. This will be
demonstrated by repeated mains fuse failure at switch on. Even in this case
of extreme over voltage the unit is protected against failure, and the simple
removal of these suppressors will allow the unit to be used again. However it
is important that they are replaced as soon as possible to ensure continued
protection.
