Connecting and installing the unit
Please power off your master unit before connecting
the D-ALINP. It is possible to use standard low voltage
approved wires or cables such as standard CAT5 cables.
The D-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 D-ALINP. Please connect the wires to a
complementary device according to the labels.
Connect the wires here

Do not connect more than one D-ALINP unit on the same
cable. This will cause malfunction and possible damage
to your main unit
and/or D-ALINP.
Avoid thick solid
wires, these will
cause mechanical
stress on the
connectors and
make installation
difficult.
D-ALINP fits into
the standard
2 gang in-wall
utility boxes and
is connected with
4 6-32 thread
screws.

First, connect the wires
to the 3-pole MSTB
connector and install the
main electronic frame in
the in-wall box with the 4
provided screws.
After installation of the
electronic metal frame,
place and fasten the
faceplate with the 4
panel screws to finish the
installation.

Using D-ALINP
To use the D-ALINP module please see that the
balanced input is configured as mono and that a
phantom voltage is present.
The D-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 D-ALINP module was designed for use with
phantom voltages between 24 VDC and 48 VDC. The
specifications in the table above were measured at the
maximum phantom voltage of 48 VDC. Lowering this
phantom voltage to lead to a lower input range.
