IMPORTANT REMARK

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”

within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING (If applicable): The terminals marked with symbol of “ ” may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected
to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made
leads or cords.

WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or

moisture.

WARNING: An apparatus with Class I construction shall be connected to a mains

socket-outlet with a protective earthing connection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the plugs,

convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Unplug the apparatus during lightening sorts or when unused for long periods of

time.

13. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus

has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14. Disconnecting from mains: Switching off the POWER switch all the functions and

light indicators of the amplifier will be stopped, but fully disconnecting the device
from mains is done unplugging the power cord from the mains input socket. For
this reason, it always shall remain readily operable.

15. Equipment is connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection by means of

a power cord.

16. The marking information is located at the bottom of apparatus.

17. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

WARNING: This product must not be discarded, under any circumstance, as

unsorted urban waste. Take to the nearest electrical and electronic waste
treatment centre.

NEEC AUDIO BARCELONA, S.L. accepts no liability for any damage that may be caused
to people, animal or objects due to failure to comply with the warnings above.

REMOTE ATTENUATORS

6.1 WPaH-AT6

The WPaH-AT6 is a 70/100 V line attenuator, with an integrated 24 VDC priority relay.
Maximum output power: 6 W

Figure 9: WPaH-AT6

(see Figure 12 for WPaH-AT6 connection diagram)

6.2. WPaH-AT40

WPaH-AT40 is a 70 / 100V line attenuator with an integrated 24VDC priority relay.
Maximum power output: 40W.

Figure 10: WPaH-AT40

(see Figure 12 for WPaH-AT40 connection diagram)

Note: This panel, unlike the rest, has a depth of 50mm

12

6.3 WPaH-AT100

The WPaH-AT100 is a 70/100V line attenuator, with an integrated 24 VDC priority relay.
Maximum output power: 100 W

NO: 0VDC = Relay open (bypass inactive)

24VDC = Relay closed (bypass active)

6.4 WPaH-SL4

The WPaH-SL4 is a 70/100V line selector (it selects one of the four music programmes).

Figure 13: WPaH-SL4

Figure 14: WPaH-SL4 connection diagram

WPaMIX-T

The WPaMIX-T is a two-channel micro-mixer with the standard WPa series wall panel
format. It allows an unbalanced stereo signal (RCA) to be mixed with a microphone signal
(XLR) to produce a balanced mono signal output.

The microphone input includes a two-band equaliser (Bass/Treble) and can operate with
priority on the line signal when the microphone exceeds the preset detection threshold.

Figure 15: WPaMIX-T

7.1. Function diagram

Figure 16: WPaMIX-T functions diagram

1. Volume control at the microphone input

2. Bass (100 Hz) and treble (10kHz) tone

controls at the microphone input (10 dB).

3. Volume control at the line input

4. XLR connector at the microphone input

(balanced signal)

• Sensitivity: -20 to -40 dBV

5. RCA line input connectors (unbalanced signal)

• Sensitivity: -10 dBV.

15

The Line and Microphone signals are mixed with relative levels depending on their
respective VOL volume controls. This mixing is available at the Euroblock connector
output terminals of the unit (unbalanced signal, line level is 0 dBV). Furthermore, the
microphone signal may use the Talkover function in order to automatically attenuate the
line signal when the microphone signal reaches the Talkover detection threshold (see 06.2
for details of Talkover activation)

7.2. Configuration diagram

1. MIC sensitivity selection -20 dBV (jumper removed) or -40 dBV (jumper installed

- default position)

2. Talkover function (*): ON (jumper installed - default position) / OFF (jumper

removed).

3. Phantom power supply for the MICRO input: ON (jumper installed) / OFF (jumper

removed- default position).

Figure 17: WPaMIX-T configuration

In order to access the configuration jumpers, the circuit must be removed from the rear of
the unit by simply pulling on it to unplug it from its connectors and then reinsert it after
making the required changes. This operation must be performed with the unit power
supply switched off.

(*) Talkover attenuation over the line input: 30 dB

Talkover maintenance time three seconds

4. Power supply input: 0VDC terminal – (**)

5. Power supply input: +24VDC terminal + (**)

6. Power supply input: +15VDC terminal + (**)

(**) The WPaMIX-T requires an external 24VDC power supply (connected to terminals 4
and 5, min 30mA) or 15VDC (connected to terminals 4 and 6, min 30mA). We suggest
using the Ecler WP24-PSU, which can power up to twenty WPaMIX-T units (depending
on voltage losses caused by cable lengths and sections).

Recommendation: Since the WPaMIX-T does not incorporate any electromagnetic

shielding, we strongly recommend that it is installed well away from power sources and
high-voltage cables.

For the installation of an eMCONTROL1 unit next to a WPaMIX-T wall panel, on surface
or flush mounting, see the eMCONTROL1 user manual.
