damage to installations.

• Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer

• No mains power shall be connected to the device,
doing so will damage the unit.

• This device should only be serviced by qualified
personnel. If not serviced by qualified personnel,
warranty may be void.

Connecting and installing the unit

Please power off your master unit before connecting
the ALINP. It is possible to use standard low voltage
approved wires or cables such as standard CAT5 cables.
The ALINP will be hardwired to a balanced line input

of any suitable device with phantom power between
18V and 48V . The connection of the wires are
indicated on the ALINP. Please connect the wires to a
complementary device according to the labels.

LOCAL INPUT CONTROLS

Do not connect more
than one ALINP unit on
the same cable. This
will cause malfunction
and possible damage to
your main unit and/or
ALINP. Avoid thick solid
wires, these will cause
mechanical stress on the
connectors and make
installation difficult.

ALINP fits into most
standard in-wall boxes
such as our E-MODIN
and N-MODIN and is
connected with just two,
3mm screws.

Using ALINP

To use the ALINP module please see that the balanced
input is configured as mono and that a phantom
voltage is present.

The ALINP sums the RCA-cinch inputs to mono. The
microphone and RCA-inputs have separate volume
control.

You will need to adjust the LINE input gain of your
host-device depending on your phantom voltage level
and depending on the source you will connect to the
ALINP panel.

As a rule of tumb: connect your source to the ALINP
panel, set the ALINP volume to 80% on the panel
and then adjust the input gain of your host to have
sufficient input (but not clipping) to your host device.

Note: The ALINP module was designed for use with
phantom voltages between 24VDC and 48VDC. The
specifications in the table above were measured at the
minimum phantom voltage of 24VDC. Increasing this
phantom voltage to lead to an increased input range.
