Front Panel Description
1. Power Switch
This push on / push off switch applies power to the AA240.
2. Power LED
This LED will illuminate blue when the AA240 is turned on.
3. Peak LED
The PEAK LED will illuminate Red when the AA240 is in a clipping condition, caused by excessively high input levels or a GAIN control is turned up too high. An occasional flash is OK.
4. Limit LED
This LED will illuminate Yellow when the amplifier is consuming excessive current. At that point, a limiting circuit is being activated,
preventing the amplifier from failure. The most likely cause for the fault is an incorrect load impedance on the output of the amplifier. The LED should never come on if a proper load is applied.
Note: An occasional LED flash is okay. When LED is ON audible distortion may be heard at the speakers.
5. Signal LED
This LED will assist you in setting gain structure into the amp. With a source connected to the amp and playing, turn up the channel gain control until this LED just starts to flash green. Once all the sources connected are playing, the SIGNAL LED may be on
solid. This condition is normal.
6. Master Gain Control
The MASTER GAIN CONTROL will raise or lower all the input channels together. A good starting point for setting gain structure is
to set MASTER GAIN CONTROL at the 12:00 position, and then adjust the individual channels one at a time.
7. Input 1-6 Controls
The gain for input channels 1-6 are controlled by these rotary controls. The MASTER GAIN CONTROL must be turned up in addition
to the input controls for audio to be present at the speaker terminals.
8. Bass Control
The BASS CONTROL is a shelving type control which will boost or cut bass frequencies at 100Hz at the rate of ±6dB.
9. Treble Control
The TREBLE CONTROL is a shelving type control which will boost or cut treble frequencies at 10kHz at the rate of ±6dB.

CLASS 2 WIRING
10. Dipswitch “A” Positions 1–6
Understanding the functionality of the dipswitches is key to getting the most out of the AA240. Whether the switch is in the “Up”
or “Down” position is critical to the function of the amplifier.
Note: Mispositioning any of these switches may cause harm to the speakers or amplifier. We recommended all levels be
turned down prior to making any switch selections. Pay close attention to the two assignment charts and manual for
proper settings.
Dipswitch 1 - LOW CUT
When in the “ON” position, frequencies below 400Hz are attenuated at the rate of
6dB per octave.
Note: The rotary bass control is bypassed when the LOW CUT filter is on. We
suggest that when paging horns are connected to the AA240, engage the
LOW CUT filter to prevent the horns from operating below their cut off frequency.
When “OFF”, the amplifier operates full bandwidth.

When “ON”, Input's 2–6 signals will be muted upon a signal present on Input 1 (Refer to Number 11 Input 1 Sens), or a contact
closure on the remote mute terminals (Refer to Number 16 Remote Mute).
When set to the “100mV” position, the sensitivity of Input 6 is
suitable for inputting Telephone Paging Signals. When set to the
“300mV” position, the sensitivity of Input 6 is suitable for CD/DVD
player outputs.
When set to the “Line” position, input sensitivity is suitable for CD/DVD line level inputs.
When set to the “Mic” position, sensitivity is suitable for microphone inputs.
When set the “Tel/Line” position, Input 1 sensitivity is suitable for telephone paging and line level signals.
When set to the “Mic” position, the sensitivity is set for microphone signals.
When set to the “OFF” position, PHANTOM POWER is turned off on INPUTS 1–5.
When set to the “ON” position, PHANTOM POWER (24VDC) is available on INPUTS 1–5.
Phantom Power may cause popping. This can be corrected by adding a 10uf – 100uf / 50V electrolytic capacitor in series with
the input. Contact Atlas for an application note.
When set to the “Master” position, the VCA control port acts as an overall system remote volume control, adjusting all the input
channels present on the master section mix bus up or down simultaneously. When set to the “Input 6” position, the VCA remote
control port affects only the level of INPUT 6.

CLASS 2 WIRING
12. Input 1 Sens
This control adjusts how sensitive the mute send circuitry on INPUT 1 reacts. Setting the control fully counter clockwise will lower
the sensitivity and a higher amplitude signal will be required at INPUT 1 to trigger the mute send circuits. Fully clockwise will raise
the sensitivity of the mute circuits, where a lower amplitude signal will trigger a mute send. Careful calibration of this control may
be required to fully utilize the mute circuits’ capabilities. Adjustment of this control should occur after the input trim (13) for channel
1 is set.
13. Inputs 1-5 Trim
These variable controls allows fine tuning of the gain of INPUTS 1 – 5. There is 20dB of variable gain available. The trim only applies
when the input is set to the “Mic” position on the dipswitch.
14. Zone 2 Level
This rotary control will vary the signal level at the Zone 2 output terminals. Fully counter-clockwise (0) is off; fully clockwise (10) is
the maximum output level. The Zone 2 output gets its signal from INPUT 6.
15. VCA
Remote location of the level control can be accomplished via the VCA control port. You can control the overall level (Master) or
just Input 6. This selection is made via Dipswitch “B” position #8. Connect the two leads from the optional remote volume control
(AAVC-10K) to these terminals. This remote level control is POST Master and Input 5 Level Controls. Set the system's maximum
levels using the amplifier level controls and then use the remote VCA potentiometer as an attenuator from the maximum levels set.
See the VCA setup section for instructions on wiring the potentiometer.
16. Remote Mute
The Remote Mute feature is useful when the background system needs to be muted from a remote location. When shorting the
Remote Mute terminals together, (G) to (M), the assigned channels will be muted.
Note: Input 1 cannot be VOX or remote muted at anytime. Dipswitches 2-5 settings determine which inputs are to receive the
Mute trigger. To trigger the mute it is common to use an external contact closure or switch on a microphone.
17. Zone 2 Output – 600Ω
The 600Ω 1.5V (Zone 2 Out) output is typically connected to a PBX MUSIC ON HOLD port, also known as MOH. The ZONE 2 output gets its signal from INPUT 6.
18. Zone 2 Output – 1 Watt 8Ω
The 8Ω 1W Zone 2 output can drive an external 8Ω speaker, and is taken Pre input 6 gain control. Use the 1W 8Ω terminals for connection to an external speaker.
19. Bridge In/Out
Certain installations have the need to combine one or more mixers together. These mixers may be in different rooms of an install
but have the need to share a page or music throughout the installation. These terminals provide a way to send and receive bal-
anced line level signals from the internal mix bus of the AA240. The “BRIDGE IN/OUT” feature is PRE Tone Controls and Low Cut
Filter the Bridge In/Out feature allows you to send and receive a balanced signal. This is important for allowing longer distances
between the mixers.
Note: This function should ONLY be used with other Atlas Sound mixers that have this feature. The Send and Receive signals are
combined through the same terminals. To activate this feature, see number 20 Bridge Select.

20. Bridge Select
The “Bridge Select (Sel)” terminals are the access point to activate the “Bridge In/Out” feature. To activate the feature connect
the two points together via an external contact closure. These two points must be connected to send or receive any signal. By
connecting the Bridge In/Out terminals of two AA240s, a simple room combining system can be accomplished. If using a remote
switch and closing it, the “Bridge Select (Sel)” will combine the amps as one, opening the switch will separate the two amps.
Note: If combining 3 or 4 mixers together the output level will have to be adjusted before and after Bridge Sel terminals are con-
nected (shorted) together. We suggest utilizing the Remote Level control when using this feature.
21. Input 1
Balanced mic or line level signals connect to the (+) (–) and (G) terminals. Refer to the chart above “Multi
Function Dipswitch” for the following setting. Dipswitch 6, labeled “Input 1” must be set to the proper position for mic or Tel/Line
level. If you are connecting an unbalanced line level input, tie (short) the (G) and (–) terminals together. An optional Input Isolation
Transformer (AAIT-600) is available if a ground loop problem exists. See page 20 for transformer installation. Contact Atlas Sound
for more details on the Input Isolation Transformer.
Note: Input 1 cannot be muted from other channels. This channel is the VOX mute send to the other inputs that are set to Mute
Receive. The sensitivity and threshold for the VOX send works in conjunction with the Input 1 Trim and the Input 1 Sens.
22. Inputs 2-5
Inputs 2-5 are balanced, line or mic level (Refer to Dipswitch Bank “B” 2-6 for setting input sensitivity). For wiring unbalanced
inputs, tie (short) the (G) and (–) terminals together.
Note: The Phantom Power when activated is present for both Line and Mic modes. In some Line source input application the the
Phantom Power may cause popping. This can be corrected by adding a 10uf - 100uf/ 50V electrolytic capacitor in series with
the input. Contact Atlas for an application note.
23. Input 6
INPUT 6 consists of a pair of stereo summing, line level inputs. Connect unbalanced audio outputs here such as CD players or
audio from DVD players.
24. Line Out A/B
The LINE OUT connector is useful for providing unbalanced line level signal to another amplifier or other external devices. Prior to
using this feature one must understand where the internal signal pick up point is so you can decide if it is correct for your application. We suggest you refer to the block diagram of the AA240 to have a complete understanding of the signal flow.
Note the following conditions for LINE OUT:
A. Post Low Cut Filter
B. Post Tone Controls (meaning the settings for the Bass and Treble controls affect this signals output).
AtlasSound.com – 10 –
Note: Refer to Low Cut Filter Switch for complete understanding of the LCF feature.

25. Tape Out A/B
Line level mono signals are available at this jack for connection to recording devices. The signal available here is PRE tone control
and low cut filter and comes from the internal mix bus.
26. Pre Out
The PRE OUT connector has POST tone control signals available to drive another power amp or external audio devices. Use in conjunction with the AMP IN connector, an effects loop can be created by connecting the PRE OUT jack to a device such as an equalizer then back out to the AMP IN connector. See the connection diagram in the setup section of this manual.
27. Pwr In
The AMP IN connector is useful for converting the AA240 into a slave amp. When a line level signal is connected to this input, the
internal connection between the preamp and internal power amp is broken. The AA240 is now just a power amplifier, amplifying
audio signals applied to this connector.
28. Speaker Terminals
For loudspeaker connections, connect using the following information or proceed to the setup section for typical wiring diagrams.
COM - Speaker common or negative connection
4Ω - Connect to direct coupled loudspeakers
25V - Connect to transformer coupled, 25V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 2.6Ω.
70.7V - Connect to transformer coupled, 70.7V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 21Ω.
100V - Connect to transformer coupled, 100V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 41.6Ω.
29. Power Cord
Connect the power cord to 120VAC only. Serious damage may result if accidentally connected to other line voltages.
30. Unswitched Outlet
The 120VAC outlet is energized at all times when the AA240 power cord is connected to a live duplex outlet. Useful for connecting
Atlas work lights, etc. Keep the total power draw below 750W.
31. Circuit Breaker – Unswitched Outlet
The circuit breaker is designed to trip and shut down the AA240 “Unswitched Outlet” upon an over current condition. After correcting the cause of the breaker tripping, reset the breaker by pushing in on the tab.

Quick Start Examples
Example 1 — System Paging, BGM, and MOH with Remote Master Level Control
This application has the paging microphone into INPUT 1, BGM (CD player) into Input 2, and a Message Repeater or MOH into Input 6.
The Zone 2 Output is sent to the telephone system's MOH input port. A level control is placed in another area such as a front desk to
adjust the system’s level without having to go the equipment room. When a page comes through Input 1, the BGM is muted allowing
only paging to be heard through the main system. The MOH is not affected during the page.
• Connect a paging mic to INPUT 1. Set Dipswitch “B” #6, “Input 1” to the “Mic” position.
Note: The INPUT 1 Trim and Sens will need to be adjusted after all the settings and connections have been set.
• Connect a BGM (CD) player to INPUT 2.
• Set Dipswitch “A” #6, “Mute Rcv” to the “ON” position.
• Connect a Message Repeater or MOH device to INPUT 6.
Note: The input sensitivity of this channel may need to be changed for proper level balance. Dipswitch “B” #1, “Input 6” allows
you to select between a 100mV or 300mV input sensitivity. Turn down channel 6 gain control on the front panel.
• Connect Zone 2 output to the MOH input on your telephone. Adjust the Zone 2 Output level as needed.
• Connect a wall mount volume control (Atlas Part Number AAVC-10K) to the terminals marked “VCA”.
Set Dipswitch “B” #8, “VCA” to “Master”.

Example 2 — Hotel Room Combining Using Two AA240s
This example utilizes the combining feature of the Atlas AA240 mixer amplifiers. The drawing below shows the equipment connections
for two hotel ballrooms, separated by a moveable air wall. The hotel needs to be able to have the audio system operate as one large
unit (air wall open) or two discreet systems (air wall closed). As indicated in the example, a BGM CD player is shared between the
two AA240s, via a “Y” cable, connected to input 6 of each mixer amp. The Bridge terminals of both amplifiers are connected together,
through a DPST switch that makes (combines) or breaks (separates) the Bridge connections between the amplifiers. When the switch
is closed, any audio signal into either amp will be present at both amplifier's speaker outputs. A volume control and DPST switch (see
drawing for clarity) controls the background music level and turns the music on or off in each room. For emergency evacuation pur-
poses, a signal from the hotel's fire alarm system is connected to channel 1 of both amplifiers, with the mute sensitivity adjusted as
needed. All other channels are set for mute receive and will mute when the siren tone is present on channel 1.

Wiring the AA240
Speaker Outputs - Use 2 conductor unshielded wire of the appropriate gauge. If you are unsure about this, contact Atlas Sound Tech
Support at 1-800-876-3333. Make sure you know how many speakers you need and what tap value you intend to use.
Mic/Line Input - Use 2 conductor w/ shield for low level signals of 20–22-gauge is best. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, – to –, and
shield to ground. For unbalanced signals, connect the (G) to the (–) terminal.
Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs - Pre-made RCA cables can be purchased from vendors to simplify interconnection to external devices.
Zone 2 Out - Use 2 conductor, 20–22-gauge, shielded is best. Terminate the shield at the input to the device if possible.
Load Consideration and Overload LED
The Overload LED will illuminate Yellow if the amp has sensed an improper load or the input signal is to high.
If the Overload is triggered the amp will not pass any signal for 10 seconds and will reset itself. If the amp continues to sense a
improper load or signal the amp will continue to cycle off if the load issue is resolved. It is highly recommended not continue for any
period of time without correcting the fault condition. If you continue to operate with the Overload Yellow LED on, damage may occur.
Refer to page 16 of manual for protect conditions.
In most situations when the LED is illuminated it means the speaker system load to the amp is lower than what the amp is rated for.
This usually is detected when you first are setting up the system. Below are a few load conditions to check for if the Protect light is on.
1. Connected to the wrong speaker terminal.
Always check the speaker terminal to the type of load you are using. Example: If you are installing a 70.7V system make sure the
wires are connected to the 70V and common (COM) terminals.
2. Too many speakers connected to the amp.
This is a very common mistake. If you are using a 240W amp and using the 70.7V speaker terminals, add up the number of speakers and their wattage selections at the speaker. If they exceed 240W you must retap the speakers or remove the correct amount
speaker wattage until the wattage is 240W or less. Example: If you are using a 30W tap you can only connect 8 speakers to the
amp. If you are using the 7.5W tap, you can connect 32 speakers. If you have too many speakers on the amp it will load the amp
down, causing excessive current demand and will trigger the Protect circuit.
3. Wrong speaker tap selection.
It is also common in set up that in a 70.7V system one of the speakers is set to low impedance (8Ω) and not a 70.7V tap. This only
takes one speaker to load the amp down incorrectly.
4. Short in system.
This is common if the wire is run in metal conduit and the wire got nicked during the wire pull.
5. Speaker Level Controls.
If a L-PAD or stepped attenuator is wired wrong it can also load a system down.

Measuring Speaker Loads
Below is an ipedance load chart for the AA240. When measuring the load impedance prior to connecting the load to the amplifier, the
enclosed load chart will provide you the information to determine if the load or speaker system impedance is too low for the amplifier's
rating. In every install it is always recommended to measure the load first to be sure the system was installed correctly.

70.7V 20Ω
100V 41Ω
Measuring a Speaker System's Impedance.
Note: It is important to only use an Audio Impedance Meter and not a conventional volt/Ω meter.
A true audio frequency impedance meter is essential for reliable installation of background music and paging systems in residences,
offices buildings, and public areas. Avoid costly service calls and amplifier damage by verifying actual speaker system impedance prior
to operation. Unlike conventional volt/Ω meters, which measure DC resistance, an Audio Impedance Meter unit utilizes an internal fre-
quency oscillator to measure true impedance. It may also be utilized with 25V/70.7V and 100V speaker line transformers, L-pads and
matching impedance volume controls. There are several Audio Impedance meters on the market, if you need to buy one we suggest
going to MCM Electronics or search the internet for Audio Impedance Meter.
Measuring 25V/70.7V Distributed Speaker Systems
Large distributed systems typically utilize 25.2V or 70.7V transformers (50V and 100V in Europe), to greatly ease the connection of
multiple speakers and facilitate long cable runs. These speakers are connected in parallel, as shown below, with total wattage ratings
added to calculate the overall rating of the system. Connecting this meter to a speaker arrangement such as this will provide the overall
impedance of the system. Using the following formula you can calculate the wattage. Simply put, when connected to a distributed sys-
tem, take the voltage of the system (normally 70.7V or 25.2V), squared, divided by the impedance displayed on the meter. Your answer
will be the total system wattage. This total wattage must not exceed the wattage output rating of the amplifier or damage may occur.
In this example the measurement for a 70.7V design with speakers of 10W, 30W and 60W, the system impedance would measure
close to 50Ω. Formula 70.7V x 70.7V = 4998, 4998 / 100W = 49.9Ω. If this speaker system load is connected to at least a 120W amp @
70.7V, the system will operate properly.
Note: It is always recommended to use a larger amp than needed with output power headroom of at least 25%.

All products manufactured by Atlas Sound are warranted to the original dealer/installer, industrial or commercial purchaser to be free
from defects in material and workmanship and to be in compliance with our published specifications, if any. This warranty shall extend
from the date of purchase for a period of three years on all Atlas Sound products, including SOUNDOLIER brand, and ATLAS SOUND
brand products except as follows: one year on electronics and control systems; one year on replacement parts; and one year on
Musician Series stands and related accessories. Additionally, fuses and lamps carry no warranty. Atlas Sound will solely at its discretion,
replace at no charge or repair free of charge defective parts or products when the product has been applied and used in accordance
with our published operation and installation instructions. We will not be responsible for defects caused by improper storage, misuse
(including failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance), accident, abnormal atmospheres, water immersion, lightning dis-
charge, or malfunctions when products have been modified or operated in excess of rated power, altered, serviced or installed in other
than a workman like manner. The original sales invoice should be retained as evidence of purchase under the terms of this warranty. All
warranty returns must comply with our returns policy set forth below. When products returned to Atlas Sound do not qualify for repair
or replacement under our warranty, repairs may be performed at prevailing costs for material and labor unless there is included with the
returned product(s) a written request for an estimate of repair costs before any nonwarranty work is performed. In the event of replace-
ment or upon completion of repairs, return shipment will be made with the transportation charges collect.

PERSONAL INJURY, ATLAS SOUND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN TORT OR CONTRACT FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR INCIDENTAL LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS.
THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
