1. Power Supply Socket

An external UL rated 120v AC power supply has been included with the ASP-MG24. Only use the

provided power supply due to the specific DC voltages required to operate the unit.

2. Input Connectors

There are two removable 3 Pin Phoenix type connectors for providing input signal to the unit. They

can accept either a balanced or unbalanced signal. For balanced signals connect (Ground to GND),
(Positive signal to +) and (Negative signal to -). For unbalanced signals connect the (- to the GND
together) and the Positive to +).

3. Mic / Line Level Selection

Each Input has the capability to accept either a microphone or line level signal. Prior to connecting the

inputs make sure the software input gain that apply to the channel routing are set to -10dB. Also the
limiters are set to +20dB for gain setup. Prior to applying signal to the input you must set the analog
gain switch to match the type of input you are using. The Line position gain is calibrated for 0dBu or
unity gain within the DSP software. The Mic position is calibrated for -30dBu when the DSP gain is set
for unity or 0dB. If more gain is needed carefully turn the up the appropriate channel DSP gain in the
software. If you will be using a microphone it is recommended when starting to turn the input gain to

-40dB and slowly bring up the input gain to the desired level.

4. Output Connectors

There are four removable 3 Pin Phoenix type connectors for providing output signal. They can deliver

either a balanced or unbalanced signal. For balanced signals connect (Ground to GND), (Positive
signal to +) and (Negative signal to -). For unbalanced signals connect the (- to the GND together)
and the Positive to +).

5. RJ45 Port

This port is used for remote system controllers. For Ethernet connection an optional card is required.

Call Atlas for more details.

7.3 Ramp Time - The Power Ramp button allows you set the desired turn on signal ramp time during power
up. The Time buttons allows you to adjust the amount of preset time you need. The amount of steps is a
formula of gain divided by time. The ramp interval voltage change will occur every 6 seconds. The amount
of dB steps will vary depending on the total ramp time you select and the amount of gain from change from

-40dB. Example: If you choose 2 minute of ramp time and the channels gain is set for -10dB, use the following
is the formula to calculate dB rate of change (Gain = -40dB minus -10dB = -30dB) and (Time = 120 seconds / 6
seconds = 20 steps) Gain Steps = 30dB / 20 steps = 1.5 dB change per second.
