Signal / Peak Indicators: These 2-color LEDs indicate the signal
level for each channel. When an LED is green, that channel has
signal (above -30dB). When an LED is red, that channel signal is
clipping (max. power). CAUTION: Signal levels should be
adjusted to avoid clipping. Clipping can cause severe distortion,
over-temperature conditions, and even loudspeaker damage.
NOTE: Signal / Peak indicators will turn off during Temp / Fault
conditions (see Temp / Fault Indicators below).
Temp / Fault Indicators: These red LEDs indicate overtemperature and output fault conditions for each channel. When
an LED remains lit, that channel has an over-temperature
condition. When an LED is flashing, that channel has an output
fault condition. Either condition will temporarily de-activate the
channel, causing the Signal / Peak LED to turn off as well. The
channel will attempt to self-reset once the over-temperature or
output fault condition is resolved.
On Indicator: This green LED remains lit when AC power is
applied to the unit.

Input: These plug-in barrier strips provide the balanced line-level
inputs to the channels. For balanced connection, wire high (+), low
(-), and ground (
ground to both (
'bridged' mode (see Bridge below), input signal must be connected
to the odd
Level: These screw-driver adjustable controls determine the level
of input signals allowed into the channels. Level provides a gain
range from 'off' (min.) to 'unity' (max.). The Level control is factory
set for -24dB of gain, which will produce maximum output power
with input signal peaks of +24dBu. For best performance, first
adjust the source
adjust the MCA Series Level controls for the desired volume.
Signal / Peak Indicators: These 2-color LEDs indicate the signal
level for each channel. When an LED is green, that channel has
signal (above -30dB). When an LED is red, that channel signal is
clipping (max. power). CAUTION: Signal levels should be
adjusted to avoid clipping. Clipping can cause severe distortion,
over-temperature conditions, and even loudspeaker damage.
NOTE: Signal / Peak indicators will turn off during Temp / Fault
condition (see Temp / Fault Indicators on pg. 3).
HPF: These DIP switches provide High-Pass Filters for the input
channels. High-Pass Filters are used to eliminate unnecessary
lower frequencies (12dB/octave @ 125Hz) for speech and
distributed speaker applications. From the factory, the High-Pass
Filters are bypassed (switches up). To assign a High-Pass Filter
on an input channel, move the switch to the down position.
CAUTION: To avoid output fault conditions, High-Pass Filters
must be assigned on channels driving 25/70/100 Volt speaker
systems (see Output below). Also, any other system equalization
affecting frequencies below 125 Hz should remain flat or be used
as cut-only.
Bridge: These DIP switches allow adjacent channels to Bridge
together in pairs, for a higher, combined output power (see
Bridging on pg. 6). Bridge disables the even numbered input, and
applies the odd numbered input signal to both amplifier channels.
From the factory, Bridge is bypassed (switches up). To assign
Bridge to a pair of channels, move the switch to the down position.

signals for optimum (maximum) levels, then
Output: These screw terminals provide the speaker outputs from
the channels. Connect the positive speaker line to the (+) terminal
and the negative speaker line to the (-) terminal of the channel
being used. The minimum speaker load on an individual channel
is 4 ohms. NOTE: When using a pair of channels in 'bridged'
mode (see Bridge above), connect the positive speaker line to the
(+) terminal of the odd
speaker line to the (+) terminal of the even
numbered channel and the negative
numbered channel.
The minimum speaker load for a bridged output is 8 ohms. Output
transformers for 25/70/100 Volt speaker systems are available as
user-installed options (installation instructions are included with the
output transformers). Transformers (by model) are as follows:
TDT50 = MCA 8050 individual channels (50 Watts)
TDT100 = MCA 8050 bridged channels (100 Watts)
TDT150 = MCA 8150 individual channels (150 Watts)
TDT300 = MCA 8150 bridged channels (300 Watts)
Remote Control: This 15-pin Sub-D (female) connector provides
remote level & muting control of the input channels (see Remote
Control on pg. 6). NOTE: When using a pair of channels in
'bridged' mode (see Bridge above), apply Remote Control only to
the odd
numbered input channel.
AC Power Entrance: The switch applies AC power to the unit.
The receptacle accepts the detachable AC Power Cord. The AC
Power Cord is for connection to three-prong grounded AC outlets.
CAUTION: Do not remove or defeat the ground prong on the AC
Power Cord, as this constitutes a shock hazard.

BRIDGING / REMOTE CONTROL
BRIDGING
Bridge DIP switches allow the adjacent odd/even numbered channels to be bridged together
in pairs, for a higher, combined output power (see Bridge on previous page). When a pair of
channels are bridged, their wattage is combined, but the minimum load increases to 8 ohms
(MCA 8050 = 100 watts @ 8 ohms; MCA 8150 = 300 watts @ 8 ohms). Bridge disables the
even numbered input, and applies the odd numbered input signal to both amplifier channels.
From the factory, Bridge is bypassed (switches up). To assign Bridge to a pair of channels,
move the related switch to the down position. Connect the source signal to the odd
numbered input channel, connect the positive speaker line to the (+) output terminal of the
odd
numbered channel, and connect the negative speaker line to the (+) output terminal of
the even
numbered channel (see diagram on right). NOTE: Only adjacent odd/even
numbered channels, which share a common Bridge switch, can be bridged. When channels
are bridged, the minimum load is increased to 8 ohms. The negative (-) output terminals on
bridged channels are not
used (no connection). For remote control of a bridged pair of
channels, only the odd numbered input channel requires control (see Remote Control below).
REMOTE CONTROL
The 15-pin Sub-D (female) Remote Control connector provides terminals for remote
level/mute control of Channels 1~8 (see diagram & table on right). A variable control voltage
(0~+10 VDC) is used to control levels (+10 VDC = unity gain; 0 VDC = off). Remote Control
provides +10V and ground terminals (for use with potentiometers), but external ‘ramp’
voltage devices, such as a BIAMP DRI, may be used instead (see Applications on pg. 8).
Potentiometers should be 25k
Ω linear taper, and are wired with high to +10V, low to ground,
and wiper to the desired channel terminal(s). See examples below. The wiper of a single
potentiometer may be wired to multiple control terminals (to control a group of channels).
However, wipers from multiple potentiometers should not be connected to a single control
terminal (undesirable interaction). Switches, Logic Outputs, or other contact-closures can be
used to mute channels, by simply shorting the associated control terminal(s) to ground. A
switch may be wired to multiple control terminals (to mute a group of channels). Multiple
switches may be wired to a single control terminal, but wiring multiple switches to multiple
control terminals would require a diode matrix. The combination of a potentiometer & a
switch can be used to perform level adjustment & muting, or to provide an adjustable amount
of mute attenuation. NOTE: Remote controls simply decrease volume from a maximum,
which is established with the channel Level controls (see Level on previous page). When
using a pair of channels in 'bridged' mode (see Bridging above), apply Remote Control only
to the odd
numbered input channel.
