3.3.2 Audio Input
AMV-340 provides with 2 stereo audio inputs, one microphone input and one digital fiber
audio input. The following figure shows the audio input ports.
Figure 5 Audio Input Ports
48V phantom power input
When the switch turns to “48V” (It has a good frequency characteristic, high input
impedance and high sensitivity in this mode), the MIC input will provide a 48V phantom
power. This is usually used for power supply for condenser microphone, Connection is:
“+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ” to ground.
Note: In this mode, only condenser microphone can be connected with.

MIC input
When the switch turns to “MIC” (It has a low frequency characteristics, and wide
frequency response in this mode), the microphone input is used for connecting with
dynamic microphone. There are two different connections:
a) Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.
b) Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ”
connects to ground.
LINE input
When the switch turns to “LINE” (It has a low frequency characteristics, and wide
frequency response in this mode), the microphone input is used for connecting with
normal audio or wireless microphone output. There are two different connections:
a) Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “ ” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “ ” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.
b) Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ”
connects to ground.
Digital audio input
The AMV-340 provides with a fiber optical port to connect with digital audio source
device. With the SPF optical fiber, the audio signal can be transmitted faster, more
stable, reliable, and can be transmitted over a long distance without distortion.
Note: This digital audio input can support/decode PCM format signal only. If the
CD/DVD is DTS or AC3 format, please set the player to PCM format output before
connect to AMV-340.
3.4 System Application
AMV-340 can be applied in different occasions, such as classroom, small meeting room,
lecture hall, bar and hotel etc.

Ducking function:
When input with MIC, the volume of the line audio will be automatically turned down
to the preset volume level, if there is no input MIC audio signal after 5 seconds, then
the volume will be automatically turned up to the original one. If you need to disable
or enable the ducking function, just send the command “#VOL:DUCKINGOFF!” or
“#VOL:DUCKINGON!”.
ID coding
The ID codes of AMV-340 ranges from 0 to F (hexadecimal), when sending RS232
commands, please take notice of the address of the ID code.
If the address of the ID code is 0, any RS232 command is available.
If the address is in 1~F, it has one unique ID code (If the ID code is not the same with
the address, no RS232 command will work).
While the ID code is in 1~F, please add “ID/” before sending the command.
For example:
Address = 0, code is “#VOL:OUTUP!”, feedback is “@VOL:OUT 30!”.
Address = 5, code is “#5/VOL:OUTUP!”, feedback is “@5/VOL:OUT 30!”.
