2.3 Ensuring Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, keep a minimum space of 4 inches (10cm) from the
top surface of the unit. Close any open spaces in the rack with blank panels. DO
NOT block any air vents. The side walls of the rack should be a minimum of 2 inches
(5 cm) from the amplifier sides. The back of the rack should be open.
2.4 Choosing Input Wire and Connectors
We recommend using pre-built or professionally wired balanced line (two-conductor
plus shield) 22-24 gauge cables to connect the amplifier balanced input by using the
included Euroblock connectors, see Figure 2.4. Unbalanced lines may be used, but
may result in hum or RF noise very long cable runs.
You can also use RCA connectors to connect audio devices, for example, CD/DVD
player. However, do not use both Euroblock and RCA audio input connectors on a
single channel at the same time.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.

2.5 Output Wiring and Connectors
To drive distributed speaker systems designed to operate at 70V or 100V, connect to
the corresponding output terminals.
JBL recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor,
heavy gauge speaker wire. Speakers wires should be twisted cable, if possible. To
prevent the possibility of short-circuits, the wires should be stripped back no greater
than 6 mm (1/4 inch), see Figure 2.5.2.
Suggested below are guidelines to select the appropriate size of wire based on the
distance from amplifier to speaker. Check with local code as this may vary.

2.6 Wiring Your Audio System
Typical input and output wirings are shown in Figure 2.6.
INPUTS: Connect input wiring for both channels using either the RCA or the
Euroblock input for each channel.
OUTPUTS: You may use either low impedance or high impedance speakers.
Always be sure to maintain the proper polarity when wiring speakers.
Low Impedance Speakers should be driven using the +/- pins of the amplifier output
connector. The minimum impedance an amplifier channel can drive is 4 Ohms.
Therefore, you can connect up to four 16 Ohm speakers, two 8 Ohm speakers or one
4 Ohm speaker to an amplifier output channel.
High Impedance Speakers should be driven using the appropriate (70V or 100V) pin
to speaker (+) and the COM pin to speaker (-) of the amplifier output connector. The
minimum impedance that can be driven from each output is provided in Appendix
A. Note that the HI-Z switch must be ON in order to provide audio to the high
impedance outputs.
WARNING: Do not connect to both low impedance speakers and high impedance
speakers from the same audio output channel.
19
2.7 Connecting to AC Mains
Connect your amplifier to the AC mains power source (power outlet) with the
supplied AC power cord. First, connect the IEC end of the cord set to the IEC
connector on the amplifier; then, plug the other end of the cord set to the AC mains.
When properly connected to a live power source, the power ring should illuminate
with a green color.
WARNING: The third prong of this connector (ground) is an important safety feature.
Do not attempt to disable this ground connection by using an adapter or other
methods.
Amplifiers don’t create energy. The AC mains voltage and current must be sufficient
to deliver the power you expect. You must operate your amplifier from an AC mains
power source with not more than a 10% variation above or below the specified line
voltage and within the specified frequency range indicated on the back panel of the
amplifier. If you are unsure of the output voltage of your AC mains, please consult
your electrician.
2.8 Protecting Your Speakers
It’s wise to avoid clipping the amplifier signal. Not only does clipping sound bad, but
it can damage high-frequency drivers. The built-in clip limiter prevents clipping.
Also, avoid sending strong subsonic signals to the amplifier. High-level, lowfrequency signals from breath pops or dropped microphones can blow out drivers.
You can switch to the HI-Z mode which, in addition to switching in the output
transformers for 70V and 100V speakers, activates the high-pass filter. The filter
prevents potentially damaging subsonic signals from going to the amplifier by
eliminating signals below 70Hz.
2.9 Startup Procedure
Use the following procedure when first turning on your amplifier:
1. Turn down the level of your audio source.
2. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier.
3. Power up the amplifier. The Power ring should change from green to blue.
4. Turn up the level of your audio source to an optimum level.
5. Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier until the desired loudness or power
level is achieved.
If you ever need to make any wiring or installation changes, don’t forget to
disconnect the power cord.

3.0 Operation
3.1 Precautions
Your amplifier is protected from internal and external faults, but you should still take
the following precautions for optimum performance and safety:
1. Before use, your amplifier first must be configured for proper operation,
including input and output wiring hookup. Improper wiring can result in serious
operating difficulties.
For information on wiring and configuration, please consult the Setup section of
this manual.
2. Use care when making connections, selecting signal sources and controlling the
output level.
3. Always be sure to have all levels at minimum when connecting or disconnecting
audio sources from the inputs, especially when MIC is selected from the MIC/
LINE switch. Failure to do so may cause the amplifier or speaker to go into a
protection mode or even cause damage.
4. WARNING: Never connect the output to a power supply, battery or power main.
Electrical shock may result.
5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making unauthorized circuit changes may be
hazardous and invalidates all agency listings.
6. Do not operate the amplifier with the red Clip LEDs constantly flashing.
7. Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause clipped signal to be sent to
the amplifier. Such signals will be reproduced with extreme accuracy, and
loudspeaker damage may result.
8. Do not operate the amplifier with less than the rated load impedance. Due to
the amplifier’s output protection, such a configuration may result in premature
clipping and speaker damage.
9. Use the amplifier in a well-ventilated environment and do not use it in ambient
temperature conditions in excess of 40°C. Failure to do so will result in the auto
disconnection from power supply, and the overheat auto protection function will
be activated. The power indicator will become green and there will not be any
audio signal coming out of the amplifier. In this case, turn down the volume to
the minimum, and the amplifier will soon resume working. When the amplifier
returns to normal temperature the power indicator will return to blue and you
may turn the volume up to a safe level.
10. If the line voltage to the amplifier is too low, the low voltage protection function
will be activated. The power light ring will change from blue to green.
CAUTION: JBL is not liable for damage that results from overdriving other
system components.

12 - NC
The two channel models, CSMA240, CSMA280
and CSMA2120 include a default routing of input
channels 1-4 to amplifier 1 and input channels 5-8
to amplifier 2. The user may also take any input
and have it routed to both outputs by selecting the
appropriate switch. For example, if you set switch 1
to ON, it will be routed to both AMP1, and AMP2.
3.3 Hi-Z Switch
When this switch is in the “OFF” position, the amplifier is configured to drive low
impedance speakers, (4 Ohms ,minimum) The Hi-Z switch will switch in the built-in
output transformer allowing the unit to drive 70V or 100V speaker systems directly
when connected to the appropriate output terminals. As an added feature when
driving the high impedance speakers, the system automatically switches in a 70Hz
high pass filter.
CSMA180 and CSMA1120 utilizes a slide switch labeled “HI-Z.” while the CSMA240,
CSMA280 and CSMA2120 allows each amplifier output to be independently
configured using the DIP switches #5 & #11.
3.4 Phantom Power
Phantom power (27V) can be applied to all mic inputs by turning on the Phantom
Power switch. (DIP switch #6 on the CSMA240, CSMA280 & CSMA2120.)
3.5 VOX Function
Voice activated ducking is available
on input channel 1 of the CSMA180
and CSMA1120 and for both input
channels 1 and 5 of the CSMA240,
CSMA280 and CSMA2120. The
audio input level required to activate
ducking is set using the trim pot on the
rear panel. Adjusting in the counterclockwise direction will reduce that
level while the full clockwise setting will
disable the VOX function.
22
3.6 Priority Muting
With CSMA180 and CSMA1120 Input Channel 1 may be used as a priority channel,
muting all other channels when pins 4 and 5 are shorted using a switch closure. If
the amplifier has entered sleep mode due to inactivity, invoking priority will also bring
the unit out of sleep and ready for transmitting an announcement.
The CSMA240, CSMA280 and CSMA2120 lets Input Ch1 operate with priority over all
inputs into Amp 1. Ch1 will have priority over both Amp 1 and Amp 2 if the routing
DIP switch #1 is set to ON. Ch5, however, cannot have priority over the Amp1 inputs.
3.7 Remote Volume Control
Remote volume control can be implemented using a CSR-V controller connected
via an ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector on the back panel. For the CSMA240,
CSMA280 and CSMA2120, there are two connectors, one for each amplifier output.
3.8 Sleep Mode
To save energy, the unit is designed to go into sleep mode after approximately 30
minutes operating with no signal at any of the inputs. Return of signal (-40dBu or
7.75mVRMS) to any input will wake the unit from its slumber. Also, a switch closure
across the priority input pins will return the unit to normal operating mode.
3.9 AUX Output
An auxiliary output is available that you may connect to additional amplifiers. The
audio signal is the mix of the input channels. Note that the master volume control
and tone controls will have no effect on the aux output signal.

4.0 Troubleshooting
CONDITION: No power to the mixer-amplifier so that
the power ring is not illuminated.
POSSIBLE REASON: The mixer-amplifier is not plugged into the power receptacle
CONDITION: No sound or low sound.
POSSIBLE REASON: The input signal is not present or at a very low level.
POSSIBLE REASON: The Master Volume control is turned down.
POSSIBLE REASON: A CSR-V is connected and turned down.
POSSIBLE REASON: Mixer channel inputs are turned down.
POSSIBLE REASON: The Ch 1 Priority switch is closed, muting all except Ch 1 input.
POSSIBLE REASON: The Hi-Z switch is OFF while using the 70V or 100V outputs.
POSSIBLE REASON: The power switch is OFF. (Note that while plugged in, the
amplifier will be in standby mode and the power ring will be
green until the power switch is activated
and the power ring will turn blue.)
CONDITION: Distorted sound.
POSSIBLE REASON: Input signal level is too high. Please turn down the input level
controls. Note that the mixer-amplifier should not be operated
at a level that allows the clip indicator (red ring around the
Master Volume) to be constantly ON.
POSSIBLE REASON: Master Volume is too high.
POSSIBLE REASON: MIC/LINE switch is in MIC position when using a
line level source.
