3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TOA's M-9000M2 Pre-Amplifier is designed to be used in conjunction with optional modules and can be configured for up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs. Usable modules include the following 9000 series plug-in modules: D-001T and D-001R (2-channel input), T-001T (Audio output expansion), C-001T (Control I/O expansion), ZP-001T (Zone paging), AN-001T (Ambient noise sensor), and RC-001T (Remote controller interface), as well as 900 series input modules. The most appropriate modules can be selected depending on applications.

The M-9000M2 can be used as a mixer that is appropriate for speech or sound reinforcement applications. It is equipped with signal processing and control functions, permitting all parameters to be set at the amplifier.

Each input can also be set as a paging input, to which one of 3 priority levels can be assigned. The paging input takes precedence over other mixing inputs, thus allowing priority paging calls to go through to the designated outputs. Paging calls can be activated by triggers of various types. Multiple paging calls can be selectively used according to their priority levels. Thus, the M-9000M2 can effectively meet a room combining application. Setting data of both mixing and paging functions can be stored inside the amplifier.

All settings that can be made at the unit can also be made on the PC using the supplied dedicated software.

[Compatibility of the firmware version and software version] This instruction manual supports the M-9000M2's firmware Ver. 2.00 or later and the PC Setting software Ver.

2.00 or later.

Some of the functions described in this manual do not work on the firmware and PC software versions earlier than Ver. 2.00. If you use the older version of the M-9000M2, update the firmware and PC software versions to the latest ones. Also, be sure to back up the 9000M2's setting data using the PC Setting software before performing updates.

Notes

• While performing version update, make sure to prevent the power cable and communication cable from

accidentally coming off.

• Once updated to firmware Ver. 2.00 or later, you cannot downgrade back to firmware Ver. 2.00 or earlier.

The indication "INVALID VERSION" is displayed on the M-9000M2 amplifier's front-mounted display (VFD) and PC's screen when attempting to perform downgrade. (Refer to the screen shot below.) The indication is displayed for a few seconds, then the M-9000M2 amplifier restarts with the version remaining unchanged.

4. FEATURES

• Can be configured as a mixer or paging amplifier by settings, depending on application.

• Eight module slots enable audio input and output configuration ranging from 1 input and 1 output to 8 inputs and 8 outputs.

• All settings can be performed at the unit using the built-in vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), setting keys and Parameter setting knob on the front panel.

• Paging calls can be made from the designated outputs by setting the paging source, priority, and trigger even while the unit is being used as a mixer.

• Up to 32 mixing settings can be stored as Scene memory, which can be recalled by the unit or external connected equipment.

• Different paging calls can be selectively used depending on situations as two or more paging sources can be set and different priority levels can be assigned to them. Other functions allow paging calls to be activated with various types of triggers and up to 32 paging groups to be saved independently of scene memory.

• An RS-232C port permits remote control of the unit using an AMX*

or Crestron*2controller, or similar

external equipment.

• With the use of the optional AN-001T Ambient Noise Sensor Input module and AN-9001 Ceiling Mount Microphone, the amplifier's output volume can be automatically adjusted in response to the change in ambient noise level.

• Using the optional RC-001T Remote Control Module in conjunction with the Remote control panels such as ZM-9011, ZM-9012, ZM-9013, or ZM-9014 permits operations including scene and sound source switchings, paging initiation, control output ON/OFF, and volume adjustment to be remotely controlled.

• The optional ZM-9001 Zone Manager adds 6 control inputs, while the optional ZM-9002 Zone Manager adds 4 control inputs and 1 volume control.

• A ducker function*

permits paging calls to be made without interrupting BGM broadcasts. Besides, an auto-

mixing function (ducker function*3and NOM attenuation function*4) automatically adjusts the output gain.

*1AMX is a trademark of AMX Corporation.

Crestron is a trademark of Crestron Electronics, Inc.

The Ducker function automatically attenuates input signals with lower priority when two or more audio signals are simultaneously received.

The NOM (Number of Open Microphones) attenuation function automatically adjusts the output channel gain depending on the number of open microphones.

5. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Keep the M-9000M2 over 10 cm (3.94") away from objects that may obstruct air flow to prevent the unit's internal temperature rise.

• When mounting the unit on an equipment rack

· Use the supplied rack-mounting bracket. (For the bracket attachment, refer to p. 122 "RACK MOUNTING

BRACKET ATTACHMENT.")

· Have the unit well-ventilated, and be sure to mount a 1U or more size perforated panel above and below

the unit to prevent the unit's internal temperature rise.

6. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with this unit. Never use it with other equipment.

• Use the unit in locations where the temperature is between –10 and +40°C or 14 and 104°F (no condensation should be formed), and the humidity is less than 80%.

• The unit is a precision audio component. To prevent failure, avoid locations where it may be exposed to strong shocks or vibrations.

• To clean, be sure to first disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet, then wipe with a dry cloth. When extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dampened in neutral detergent. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or chemically-treated towels, which may damage the unit's finish.

3. Telephone input terminal [TEL IN] (Modular jack)

Interface connector for an analog PABX. Connect a PABX to this terminal when using the module in the ring signal mode.

4. Paging input terminal [PAGING IN]

4-pin removable terminal block, 2 pins are used for this input. This terminal is used to connect a PABX in the paging port mode.

5. Control input terminal [CONTACT IN]

4-pin removable terminal block, 2 pins are used for this input. Connect the control output from a PABX to this terminal.

6. Control output terminals [CTRL OUT 1 G, 2 G, 3 G, 4 G]

4-pin removable terminal blocks, control output terminals. Note: These terminals are not used in the M-9000M2.

The ZP-001T module is designed for use with the M-9000M2 and functions as an interface to connect the M9000M2 to an analog PABX, allowing zone paging to be initiated from the PABX. Only one ZP-001T module can be used per M-9000M2.

There are two operation modes: Ring signal and Paging port modes. Select one of the two modes when using this module. The operation method differs depending on the set operation mode. (Refer to p. 47 "Making Zone Paging.")

[Requirements of the PABX to be connected to the ZP-001T]

• The PABX shall be complaint with TIA/EIA-464-B standard.

• Specifications or conditions required in each of the following modes shall be satisfied:

Note: The ZP-001T may malfunction if the connected PABX does not meet the above requirements.

(A) When using the module in the Paging port mode

• Connection: Line level paging port

• Signaling method: DTMF (The module cannot be operated with dial pulse.)

• Shall provide no-voltage make contact during paging calls.

• Insensitive to whether loop voltage exists or not, and whether polarity of the loop voltage is reversed or not when a line connection is established.

Note

If the PABX does not meet the above requirements, use the D-001T/R module and set the trigger to "VOX" (Voice Operated Exchange) to initiate paging. In this case, the paging output channel cannot be selected, which differs from the operation by the ZP-001T.

(B) When using the module in the Ring signal mode

• Connection: Analog two-wire extension line, loop start

• Signaling method: DTMF (The module cannot be operated with dial pulse.)

• Reorder tone: 120 IPM (impulses per minute) or less

• Loop voltage: 24 V DC or more (polarity insensitive), which should be supplied from the PABX.

• Insensitive to whether polarity of the loop voltage is reversed or not at a call from the PABX.*

• Loop voltage supply shall not be cut off from the beginning of a call to the reorder tone out.*

• The state of CPC (Calling Party Controlled) break or "Open Loop Disconnect" shall be reset at the PABX.*

* Note that there is no need to meet these requirements provided that the ZP-001T's control input terminals

are kept closed. However, noise may be output if the line is physically disconnected during a paging call because the ZP-001T cannot recognize the line cutoff nor stop output for 30 seconds after paging initiation.

Note

In designing the layout of the AN-9001, pay particular attention to the following points so that the AN-9001 and AN-001T in combination can function effectively.

• Position the AN-9001 fully away from the speaker to be used for zone announcement. Doing otherwise may cause the AN-9001 to detect the speaker sound as noise, failing to keep the optimum sound level.

• Do not position the AN-9001 near the equipment that constantly generates loud noise. If positioned, the AN9001 will respond to such loud noise, failing to respond to the change in ambient noise level.
