Unpacking

Unpacking

Although your MA-110/110N is neither complicated nor difficult to operate, we recommend you take a few
minutes to read this brief manual and familiarize yourself with the important information regarding product
features, setup and operation.

As with most electronic devices, we strongly recommend you retain the original packaging. In the unlikely event
the product must be returned for servicing, the original packaging (or reasonable equivalent) is required.

Installation

Installation

Environment

Never place this product in an environment which could alter its performance or reduce its service life. Such
environments usually include high levels of heat, dust, moisture, and vibration.

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.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service 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.

1. AC POWER CORD

Connect this cable to an AC outlet.

2. SPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINAL

These terminals are used to connect speakers to the unit. You may select 4Ω conventional operation, or high
impedance operation at either 70V/49Ω or 100V/100Ω.
Can’t use these terminals at the same time.
NOTE: The unit is disable to operate in case of the total impedance is less than the rated impedance

indicated. (If you’re running speakers, you have to make sure total impedance does not go below
the rated impedance.)

3. EXTERNAL MUTE CONTROL TERMINAL

Be able to use this terminal when you want to cut off the unit’s output signal from the external equipment.

MA-110/110N

DIGITAL AMPLIFIER

4. TEL IN TERMINAL

his is the audio signal input terminal of switchboard.

T
If the signal is inputted to the terminal, you are able to control the output of other input signals by the priority
control volume of TEL IN.

5. TEL IN PRIORITY CONTROL VOLUME

This is able to control the mute level of INPUT 1~3 when the signal is inputted from the TEL IN terminal.

6. INPUT 3 TERMINAL

This is an unbalanced input terminal and connected with the external units.(CD, DVD, computer, etc.)
If you connect with computer, ‘Y’ jacks are required.

- MA-110 - MA-110N

6.3ø Phone Jack : Unbalanced Euro Block : Unbalanced
RCA Jack : Unbalanced RCA Jack : Unbalanced

7. INPUT 2 TERMINAL

This is a balanced input terminal and connected with the mic signal or the external units.

8. INPUT 2 LEVEL SELECT SWITCH

This switch selects the input signal of INPUT 2.

9. INPUT 1 TERMINAL OF REAR PANEL

This is a balanced XLR (MA-110) or Euro Block (MA-110N) input terminal that the signal is inputted.
If the front panel’s MIC input terminal is connected with 6.3ø Phone Jack, the rear panel’s MIC input terminal
don’t output the signal.

10. SELECT SWITCH OF INPUT 1 PHANTOM MIC

This switch selects a kind of INPUT 1’s MIC on the rear panel.
Be able to use either DYNAMIC MIC or CONDENSER MIC, and the phantom power of +15V is supplied
when using the condenser mic.
MIC : Select in case of using a general dynamic mic
PHANTOM MIC : Select in case of using a condenser mic

11. THE PRIORITY CONTROL VOLUME OF INPUT 1

The output of INPUT 2,3 is controlled by the priority control volume of INPUT 1 when the signal is inputted to
the INPUT 1 terminal.

NOTE : 1. Make certain that the total impedance is not less than the rated impedance indicated.

2. Don’t have to use several speaker terminals at the same time.

3. If you’re just dealing with the high impedance terminal, then make sure that 4Ω output terminal is
connected with OPT-IN terminal.
