D510r Introduction
The D510r is a 19″ 3 RU rack unit designed to house up to 10 standard 500 series modules. The D510r is designed to house the most power-hungry modules and ensure the full performance of those modules. The D510r includes a built-in power supply with sufficient current to handle any complement of 500 series modules. The D510r is a part of a series of products from Harrison that provide analog mixing, digital interfacing in a variety of formats including Dante along with a range of Harrison individual 500 series modules. Please see information in this manual regarding the following optional products offered by Harrison to compliment the D510r system.

Rack Mounting, Heat and Ventilation
The D510r is a 1U, 19″ rackmount piece of equipment designed to sit in the racking of a producer’s desk or similar. It is recommended that ventilation space is left above and below the unit so any heat generated by the D510r or other equipment mounted above or below the D510r can naturally disperse. Always allow the unit to cool down before handling.

D510dante Introduction
One of the advanced and unique features of the Harrison D510r 500 rack unit is ability to add a D510dante interface card which includes A/D and D/A converters via a Dante interface providing a direct Ethernet interface to a DAW or other Dante network such as for live performance applications.
The D510dante interfaces can carry up to 10 input by 14 output channels at 44.1/48 KHz sampling rate up to 88.2/96 KHz sampling rate. Because the D510r can be fitted with up to ten 500 series modules the D510dante interface is laid out with 10 AD converters and DA converters one pair for each of the ten 500 slots.
There are an additional four DA converters provided for future use.
These inputs and outputs are combined by an integrated Ethernet switch to result in a single Ethernet interface to a DAW or other Dante network such as in a live performance infrastructure. The D510r with a D510di installed will appear as single device on the Dante network with a primary / secondary redundant configuration.

Inputs and Outputs
Analog input and outputs are nominal +4 dBu level. The converters are directly interfaced to the Dante interface module. Supporting the Dante module is a multiport Ethernet switch with integrated Gigabit Ethernet PHYs. Two Ethernet connections are provided on RJ45 jacks and are configured by the Dante module to operate as a hub/switch a primary / secondary redundant mode.
Typical interconnection of the D510dante provide a single Ethernet link to the DAW or other network infrastructure and use an external hub/switch to connect to the network.
It is recommended that a Gigabit Ethernet (1000-BASE-T) network is used, with a Gigabit Ethernet port on the DAW or network end and a Gigabit Ethernet external switch (if used), all connected with high quality CAT5E or CAT6 cables.
Dante Wordclock
On Dante networks, almost any device on the network may be specified in the Dante network management software as the wordclock master. In typical setups the console might be a wordclock slave to another device on the Dante network such as an I/O device, or might itself be the wordclock master.
Should the user choose to have the D510dante module as the network clock master, the D510dante module Dante can be designated the network wordclock master using its internal clock.
A BNC connector is provided on the D510dante module for connection of a TTL wordclock. While not absolutely standardized, guidelines for TTL wordclocks can be found in AES standard AES-11. The recommendations specify 75 ohm coax cabling and terminations. This connector is unterminated, so the required 75 ohm terminating resistor would have to be supplied externally. Note that there are 2 types of BNC connectors, with 75 and 50 ohm impedances. The 75 ohm type is used on the D510dante module and should be connected using the matching type of connector, coax cable and terminating resistor.
Dante Channel Assignments
The D510dante module is supplied with the Dante connections prewired. The following table lists the standard Dante connections provided.
Dante Controller software permits renaming of the Dante signals on the Dante Controller router page. This is left to the user if the standard signal naming needs to be changed to suit a particular studio installation.

D510mx Introduction
Another of the advanced and unique features of the Harrison D510r 500 rack unit is ability to add a D510mx “mixer” interface module providing an integrated 10 x 2 analog mixer to the 510r rack.
When the D510mx is installed in the D510r rack, eight 500 series module slots are available for any combination of 500 series modules. The outputs from each 500 module slot feed the first 8 inputs to the D510mx. Inputs 9 and 10 to the D510mx are fed from the 9th and 10th slot input XLR connectors on the rear of the D510r rack. Each input to the D510mx has a level, pan and stereo bus routing switch. These controls allow a stereo mix to be created in conjunction with the individual 500 slot outputs.
A Main stereo output level control with metering LEDs, and 2 front panel headphone feeds round out the D510mx functionality.
The D510mx combined with the D510r turns theD510 system into an analog summing mixer. Combining the D510r, D510dante and the D510mx turns the D510 system into a powerful computer interface utilizing your favorite 500 series modules as the input sources.
