IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow: Earth (E)
Blue: Neutral (N)
Brown: Live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected
to the terminal which is marked by the letter E or by the safety
earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. The wire which is
coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is
coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured red.
If a 13 Amp (B.S. 1363) plug or any other type of plug is used, a
5 Amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug or at the distribution
board.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED
GENERAL INSTALLATION
DO NOT use low impedance loudspeakers.
DO NOT run microphone cables near mains, data,
telephone or 100V line cables.
DO NOT run 100V line cables near data, telephone or
other low voltage cables.
DO NOT exceed 90% of the amplifiers output power
when using 100V line (speech only).
DO NOT exceed 70% of the amplifiers output power
when using 100V line
(high level background music).
DO NOT use re-entrant horn loudspeakers for
background music unless the loudspeaker has
been specifically designed for this purpose.
AVOID jointing the microphone cable, when this is
unavoidable make sure a good screened
connector is used, e.g. XLR.
ALWAYS use a balanced or floating low impedance
microphone terminating into a balanced input
on long microphone cable runs.
ALWAYS use a mains grade double insulated cable for
the loudspeaker cable runs.
ENSURE that all loudspeakers are in-phase.
ENSURE that there are no short circuits on the
loudspeaker line before connecting to the
amplifier.
REMOVE the top cabinet when fitting the 19” rack ears
supplied (these are fitted using the existing
screw holes and screws from the top cabinet).

Mic 1 & Mic 2 Input Connections
These Microphone inputs use an XLR connector for signal input and if required a 180° DIn plug can also be used to obtain priority operation. Ideally a balanced or
floating microphone with an impedance of 600Ω should be used. If priority is required the microphone must also have a normally open volt free switch.

Priority Connection
The Signal connections should be made as shown in Non-Priority above.
The 5 pin 180° DIN socket directly above the microphone input socket is used to obtain priority functions
for the input socket. Other features are also available on this socket.
180° DIN SOCKET
Pin Number Function
1 Mute: Used to override Mic inputs 3 to 5 and/or Auxiliary inputs 1 to 3, to override these inputs short to pin 2. This action will
also activate the “Ding Dong” chime.
2 Ground: Connected to the equipment chassis.
3 Busy: Open collector, going to ground when pin 1 is shorted to ground.
4 Speak Now: Open collector, going to ground when pin 1 is shorted to ground and the “Ding Dong” chime has finished.
5 24Vdc Output: Used for phantom powering of other equipment. E.g. Relays, Microphones, etc. Max. current must not exceed
0.5 Amps total (not per socket).
Mic 3 & Aux 1 Connections Microphone 3 is connected exactly the same way as the signal connections for Mic 1 & Mic 2. Please note that no priority
functions are available for this input.
The amplifier leaves the factory pre-configured for this input set as Mic 3, however if needed this can easily be re-configured as an auxiliary input, this is achieved
by the following process:
1. Remove the top case
2. Locate switch on the rear PCB (three switches are located on the rear PCB, the switch required is the left most one when
viewed from the front panel).
3. Set the switch to the position nearest the rear panel.
4. Replace the top cover.
The input Aux 1 uses two standard RCA Phono plugs. These are shorted together internally and provide a mono input.

Mic 4, 5 & Aux 2, 3 Connections These inputs are configured at the factory as Auxiliary inputs. The connection for these is exactly the same as for Aux
1 above. These inputs may be re-configured as balanced microphone inputs, this is achieved by the following process:
1. Remove top cover.
2. Locate switch for Mic 4 and/or for Mic 5 (these are located on the PCB along the rear panel, the centre switch is for Mic 4 and the rightmost switch is for Mic
5).
3. Set the switch to the position furthest from the rear panel.
4. Replace the top cover.
The microphone inputs use standard 1/4” Stereo Jack Sockets, these are wired as follows:
