1. IMPORTANT REMARK
Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured equipment. We
thank you for having purchased our MPA R power amplifier.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual before connecting the amplifier in order to
obtain its maximum performance.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services whenever any maintenance task should be
needed so that optimum operation shall be achieved.
MPA R series amplifiers come with a 3-year warranty.
2. INTRODUCTION
The main features of the MPA4-150R / MPA6-150R multichannel amplifier are:
Four / six independent channels of amplification, with line-level balanced input.
Independent "REMOTE" control on each input channel to control the level of the
corresponding signal through, for example, a remote potentiometer. (ECLER accessories are recommended for this use). Any other device which generates a DC voltage from 0 to 10V can be used to adjust the input signal level. It is also possible to use relays or any dry contact to create a remote “MUTE” function for any of the input channels. This allows the user to remotely and independently fix the attenuation/MUTE of the input signal, which will be send to the amplifier selected with the switches on the rear panel of the unit. A single potentiometer (o control signal) can be used for more than one or even all input channels if suitable wiring is used (see detailed information in section 4.4.).
"STACK" connectors on "INPUT 1, INPUT 2" for sending the signals to other amplifiers or sound
systems.
Operating modes:
The MPA4-150R amplifier station consists of four 182W/4 amplifiers and the MPA6-150R amplifier station consists of six 200W/4 amplifiers. These channels can be configured through a set of switches found on the rear panel. This allows multiple amplification setups useful in many situations, for example:
o Four / six independent mono amplifiers, each one amplifying the mono signal of its own input. o Four / six mono amplifiers with a common mono input.
The amplifier operates now with just one input signal for all amplifiers, but preserves the
ability to control each channels volume independently. This setup is useful when distributing
signals to different zones.
o Four / six mono amplifiers with a common stereo input.
This setup is similar to the previous example but the input is now a stereo signal. The
amplifier adds both stereo channels together converting them into a mono signal.
o Two / three stereo amplifiers for two / three different stereo inputs.
Each stereo channel offers a dedicated volume control. Useful for addressing two / three
zones with two / three different stereo signals.
o Two / three stereo amplifiers for one common stereo input.
This setup is similar to the previous example but the input is now a single stereo signal which
is fed to two / three amplifiers.
o Two / three bridged amplifiers for two / three different mono inputs.
With each pair of bridged channels you obtain doubled output power with a load of at least
8.
o Two / three bridged amplifiers for a common mono input.
The equipment operates with a single input signal for two / three mono amplifiers, and allows
to independently controlling their volumes.
o Two bridged amplifiers for two different stereo inputs (only MPA4-150R).
You can obtain two zones with independent volume control and two different stereo signals,
but these stereo signals are internally converted to mono in each bridged amplifier.
o Two / three bridged amplifiers for a common stereo input.
This setup is similar to the previous example but the input is now a stereo signal. The
amplifier adds both stereo channels together converting them into a mono signal.
o One stereo amplifier and one bridged amplifier with a common stereo input (only MPA4-
150R).
Useful for facilities with a stereo amplifier dedicated to satellite speakers (high and mid
frequencies) and a bridged amplifier for a subwoofer. This multichannel amplifier features a
low-pass filter to feed the subwoofer, and high pass filters for the high and mid range speaker
systems.
o Four mono amplifiers and one bridged amplifier for one common mono input (only MPA6-
150R).
Useful for setups with four amplifiers for mid-range speakers and tweeters and an extra
(bridged) amplifier for a subwoofer. This multichannel amplifier features a low-pass filter to
operate on a subwoofer system and a high-pass filter for the mid-range speakers and
tweeters.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Placement and mounting
The amplifier is presented as a 2 unit high 19'' rack module. It is supplied with plastic washers in order not to damage the unit when tightening the screws. Always fix the amplifier to a 19” rack through the front ears using all corners and four screws.
For portable, mobile, or other applications where the rack assembly may be moved, we recommend supporting the rear of the amplifier using support rails. It is very important not to enclose the amplifier or expose it to extreme temperatures as it generates heat. It’s also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the ventilation
holes of the chassis, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and installed above and below it in the rack frame.
If the setup has several amplifiers in the same rack or in a closed cabinet with doors, it is highly recommended to supply them forced ventilation, installing fans at the upper and lower ends. This upward air flow will help to dissipate the heat generated inside.
In order to optimize as much as possible the correct thermal dissipation of equipment installed in a closed rack, it is advisable not to place power amplifiers under other appliances, but upon these ones.
3.2. Mains connection
The amplifier operates on alternate currents, depending on the country 110-120, 220-240V 50/60Hz (see characteristics in the back of the unit). The power consumption at maximum performance is 340VA for the MPA4-150R and 510VA for the MPA6-150R. It's important that your mains installation is adequately rated to these power demands. The amplifier should have an earth connection in good conditions (earth resistance, Rg=30 or less). The environment must be dry and dustless. Do not expose the unit to rain or water splashes, and do not place liquid containers or incandescent objects like candles on top of the unit. Do not obstruct the ventilation grids with any kind of material. In case there is some type of intervention and/or connection-disconnection of the amplifier, it is most important to previously disconnect the mains power supply. There are no user or serviceable parts inside the amplifier. You should avoid that the supply cable twists with the shielded signal cables, as this could lead to unwanted hum.
In order to protect the unit from an eventual electrical overload or momentary power peaks from the internal circuits it carries a fuse. Should it ever blow up, unplug the unit from mains and replace it with an identical one. If the new fuse blows again contact immediately with our Authorized Technical Service.
CAUTION: YOU MUST NEVER USE A HIGHER VALUE FUSE.
3.3. Multi-function
Depending on the input switches on the MPA4-150R (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31) located on the rear panel, four different amplification configurations can be achieved:
MPA4-150R
- 4 mono amplifiers with following possibilities: 4 different mono inputs 1 common mono input for all 1 common stereo input for all
- 2 stereo amplifiers with following possibilities: 2 different stereo inputs 1 single stereo input for both
- 2 bridged amplifiers with following possibilities: 2 different mono inputs 1 common mono input 1 common stereo input
- Combinations between mono, stereo and bridged
On the rear panel you can also activate the high-pass and low-pass filters:
High-pass filter ON/OFF switch (31). The cut-off frequency lies at 160Hz for amplifiers 3 and 4 simultaneously or when operating in bridged mode. This filter cuts out all frequency components under 160Hz and passes the rest, being specially suited for connecting the mid-range and high frequency speakers.
Low-pass filter ON/OFF (27). Filter with 160Hz cut off frequency for amplifiers 1 and 2 together or when working in bridge mode, which eliminates audio signals with frequencies higher than 160Hz and lets through those signals with frequencies lower than 160Hz.
Combining one bridged amplifier with switched on low-pass filter together with a stereo amplifier with switched on high-pass filter turns your multichannel power amplifier into an ideal equipment for clubs and other locations with a subwoofer, mid-range speakers and tweeters.
Depending on the input switches on the MPA6-150R (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34,
35) located on the rear panel, four different amplification configurations can be achieved:
MPA6-150R
- 6 mono amplifiers with following possibilities: 6 different mono inputs 1 common mono input for all 1 common stereo input for all
- 3 stereo amplifiers with following possibilities: 3 different stereo inputs 1 single stereo input for both
- 3 bridged amplifiers with following possibilities: 3 different mono inputs 1 common mono input 1 common stereo input
- Combinations between mono, stereo and bridged
On the rear panel you can also activate the high-pass and low-pass filters:
High-pass filter ON/OFF switch (30, 34). The cut-off frequency lies at 160Hz for amplifiers 3 and 4 (5 and 6) simultaneously or when operating in bridged mode. This filter cuts out all frequency components under 160Hz and passes the rest, being specially suited for connecting the mid-range and high frequency speakers.
Low-pass filter ON/OFF (27). Filter with 160Hz cut off frequency for amplifiers 1 and 2 together or when working in bridge mode, which eliminates audio signals with frequencies higher than 160Hz and lets through those signals with frequencies lower than 160Hz.
Combining one bridged amplifier with switched on low-pass filter together with a stereo amplifier with switched on high-pass filter turns your multichannel power amplifier into an ideal equipment for clubs and other locations with a subwoofer, mid-range speakers and tweeters.

3.6. Limiter circuit
This system is an always active protection inside the MPA R series of amplifiers. The ANTICLIP circuitry constantly analyses harmonic distortion caused by excessive signal excursion at the power amplifier's output and automatically reduces the input level in order never to reach distortion. The great convenience of such a circuit in any kind of installation has to be remarked: The clear advantage of a limiting system in front of conventional compressors is that the former does practically not alter the dynamic range, acting only when the distortion threshold is reached.
3.7. Output connections
The rear panel OUTPUTS section is provided with screw terminal blocks (21), one per channel of
amplification.
The attenuation controls and the output configurations are described later in paragraph 3.8.
The cable which connects the speakers to the amplifier should be high quality and as short and thick as possible. This is important when covering long distances; For up to 10m we recommend a cable section not smaller than 2.5mm². For longer distances we recommend 4mm².
ALWAYS USE CLASS 2 WIRING FOR THE SPEAKERS CONNECTION.
Remember that the minimum load impedance for stereo or mono amplifiers is 4. In bridged mode the impedance must be not less than 8. For a reliable operation under any circumstance connect lower load impedances than just specified.
Attention: use only the indicated terminals when using the amplifiers in bridge mode.
MPA4-150R MPA6-150R
Connect the terminal blocks securely, removing the cable cover 5÷7mm from the end.
CAUTION: The output connectors are HAZARDOUS LIVE. Be sure to avoid leaving wires exposed. This can cause short-circuit and risk of electric shock.

4. OPERATION AND USAGE
4.1. Start up
To switch the unit on just push the switch labelled POWER (20) and the integrated pilot-light will light up. We highly recommend the "safe power-up sequence": First the sound sources, then mixer, equalizers and active filters and, finally, power amplifiers. Powering off should be done by following the exact reverse sequence in order to avoid any possible peaks reaching the next device, and consequently protecting the loudspeakers, which are specially sensitive to these peaks.
NOTE
: Fully disconnecting the device from mains is done unplugging the power cord from the
mains input socket (37). For this reason, it always shall remain readily operable.
4.2. Input attenuation
These are rotary trimmers located on the front panel.
MPA4-150R
MPA6-150R
These attenuators allow the connection of different mixers, an independent volume control and the connection of speakers not able to handle the amplifiers maximum output power, thus avoiding the risk of damaging them with the mixers or preamps volume control. Inside the device's packaging you will find a little plastic bag containing transparent caps, which protect the input attenuation settings from unwanted manipulation. These caps are transparent in order to let you visualize the current settings.
Once inserted, they cannot be removed with bare fingers, for this purpose, a small screwdriver is
needed.
13
4.3. Remote control
The rear panel of the MPA R provides one Euroblock connector (REMOTE CONTROL) per channel to remote control the volume using the incorporated "VCA" circuit. The combined usage of the rotary potentiometers located at the front panel and the remote VCA control determines the final value of the signal’s attenuation for each input channel. Therefore, a certain value can be fixed for the signal attenuation using the rotary so that the remote control via VCA will not exceed this value and vice versa, that is, the two controls are connected in series. This functionality can be useful in installations where users with little experience are in charge of volume adjustment.
MPA4-150R
MPA6-150R
14
4.4. Connection of the REMOTE control
As already mentioned in the introduction of this manual, the signal attenuation level for each of the input channels can be set using the following methods:
a) Using a remote potentiometer with nominal resistance between 10k and 50k. b) Using a device that generates a control voltage from 0 to 10V DC. c) Using remote relays/dry contacts.
NOTE
: it is possible to connect a maximum of 16 inputs to one control potentiometer. It is
necessary that the ground terminals of all amplifiers are connected.
The connection cables can be up to 500m long if a section of 0,5mm
2
is used.
Consult the available accessories at your ECLER dealer or at www.ecler.com.
4.5. Indicators
The SP signal presence indicators (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17) light up when the input signal reaches
approximately -40dBV.
The CLIP indicators (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18) light up when the output signal for the speakers is -1.5dB below the actual clipping threshold. This clipping system watches for eventual supply voltage variations, thus giving always an accurate clipping indication, regardless of mains voltage deviations. It is normal that when operating at high output power, the CLIP indicators light up in synchronisation with the low frequencies, which carry the most energy. Nevertheless, you should avoid that the CLIP indicators are lit continuously.
Thermal protection indicator “THERMAL” (1), it shines when the cooling tunnel temperature reaches 90ºC. The amplifier will automatically restart when the temperature lessens to 80ºC.
5. CLEANING
The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances because silk-printing could be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and neutral liquid soap; dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the amplifier through the holes of the front panel.

2. INTRODUCCIÓN
Las principales características del amplificador multicanal MPA4-150R / MPA6-150R son:
4 / 6 canales de amplificación independientes, con entrada simétrica (nivel de línea).
Control “REMOTE” independiente en cada uno de los canales de entrada que puede ser
empleado para controlar el nivel de señal correspondiente mediante, por ejemplo, un potenciómetro remoto. (Se recomienda el uso de accesorios ECLER a tal efecto). Cualquier otro dispositivo que entregue una señal 0-10V DC puede ser empleado para el ajuste del nivel de la señal de entrada. Asimismo actuadores remotos como relés o cualquier contacto seco pueden ser usados para implementar un "MUTE" remoto en cualquiera de los canales de entrada. Esto permite al usuario final el fijar de forma remota e independiente la atenuación/MUTE de la señal de entrada que será enviada al amplificador correspondiente según el estado de los conmutadores ubicados en el panel posterior de la unidad. Un único potenciómetro (o señal de control) puede actuar sobre más de uno o todos los canales de entrada mediante el cableado adecuado. (Ver información detallada en la sección
4.4).
Conectores "STACK" en "INPUT 1, INPUT 2" para el envío de las señales a otros
amplificadores o sistemas de sonido.
Modos de trabajo:
La MPA4-150R está formada por cuatro amplificadores de 182W/4, mientras que la MPA6­150R está formada por seis amplificadores de 200W/4. Dichos canales son configurables mediante los conmutadores situados en el panel posterior, permitiendo múltiples posibilidades de trabajo:
o 4 / 6 Amplificadores mono independientes, amplificando cada uno de ellos una señal mono
de entrada diferentes.
o 4 / 6 Amplificadores mono con una entrada mono común.
El amplificador trabaja solamente con una señal de entrada pero conserva la posibilidad de
ajustar de forma independiente el nivel de cada uno de los cuatro / seis canales, es una
aplicación ideal para realizar una distribución de sonido a distintas zonas.
o 4 / 6 Amplificadores mono con una entrada estéreo común.
Aplicación idéntica a la anterior pero teniendo como entrada una fuente de sonido estéreo, el
amplificador realiza la suma de los dos canales de la fuente para convertirla en una señal
mono.
o 2 /3 Amplificadores estéreo con dos / tres entradas estéreo diferentes.
Disponiendo cada una de ellas del control de volumen de cada canal estéreo. Útil para
sonorizar dos / tres zonas con dos / tres señales estéreo diferentes.
o 2 / 3 Amplificadores estéreo con entrada estéreo común.
Aplicación idéntica a la anterior pero con la misma señal estéreo de entrada en los dos / tres
amplificadores.

o 2 / 3 Amplificadores en puente con dos / tres señales mono diferentes.
Con cada pareja de canales en puente obtendremos el doble de potencia con una
impedancia de carga mínima de 8.
o 2 / 3 Amplificadores en puente con una señal mono en común.
El equipo trabaja con una sola señal de entrada para dos / tres amplificadores mono, con
posibilidad de controlar los volúmenes de forma independiente.
o 2 Amplificadores en puente con dos entradas estéreo diferentes (sólo MPA4-150R)
Tendremos dos zonas con controles de volumen independientes con dos señales estéreo
diferentes, pero estas señales estéreo se convierten en señales mono internamente en cada
amplificador en puente.
o 2 / 3 Amplificadores en puente con una entrada estéreo común.
Aplicación idéntica a la anterior pero teniendo como entrada una fuente de sonido estéreo, el
amplificador realiza la suma de los dos canales de la fuente para convertirla en una señal
mono.
o 1 Amplificador estéreo y 1 amplificador en puente con una entrada estéreo común (sólo
MPA4-150R).
Útil para instalaciones con un amplificador estéreo con altavoces de medios-agudos y un
segundo amplificador en puente para un recinto de subgraves. Este amplificador multicanal
dispone de filtro paso bajo para alimentar el cajón de subgraves, y de filtros paso alto para
las cajas de medios y agudos.
o 4 Amplificadores mono y 1 amplificador en puente con una entrada mono común (sólo MPA6-
150R).
Útil para instalaciones donde se necesiten 4 amplificadores de una potencia determinada
(para cajas de medios y agudos) y un amplificador en puente para caja de subgraves. Este
amplificador multicanal dispone de filtro paso bajo para instalar cajón de subgraves y de
filtros paso alto para las cajas de medios y agudos.
