1. Rack Mounting Ears - Two front panel mounting holes are provided on each
mounting ear.
2. AC Power Switch - MP Series amplifiers have a front-panel AC mains power
switch.
3. Mode Indicated LED - Red LED indicates "Parallel" Mode, Green LED
indicates "Stereo" Mode, Yellow indicates "Bridge" Mode.
4. UNiKA Logo and Model No - MP series have 3 types of 3U Models MP-2800
/ MP-4000 / MP-5000.
5. Fan Inlet Grills and Filter - MP Series amplifiers are cooled by two rear-
mounted fans. Cool air from front grills is filtered and flows over the heat sinks
and exhausts to back side. Make sure these outlets remain clear to allow
unrestricted air flow.
6. Limiter Switch - You can select limiter "ON" for limiter working, or turn "OFF”
the limiter.
7. Input Attenuators - Two input attenuators adjust level for their respective
amplifier channels.
8. Clip LED - Illuminates at the clipping threshold. Continuous illumination also
indicates that ACL (Active Clip Limiting) protection circuitry is engaged.
9. Signal LED - Illuminates to indicate that a signal (above a minimum threshold)
is present at the amplifier input, and that the signal is being amplified.

10. Fan Outlet Ports - Cooling air enters the amplifier through the front grills and
exhausts through the fans. Be sure not to block these ports when installing the
amplifier or other associated equipment. Air must flow unimpeded through these
ports.
11. Channel 2 Balanced 1/4" TRS & XLR Input Connectors - These connectors accept
input signals on balanced TRS and XLR input plugs. See the figures 3-5 for
information on polarity. Connectors for each channel are in parallel; the unused
connectors may be used for "loop through" connection to other amplifiers.
XLR pin setting: Pin-3/signal Negative, Pin-2/signal Positive, Pin-1/Ground.
12. Channel 2 Subwoofer Mode On/Off Switch - Turns the subwoofer mode for channel
two on and off.
13. Channel 2 Frequency Adj. - This pot adjust the frequency level sent to your speaker
on channel two when using your amplifier in subwoofer mode.
14. Channel 1 Frequency Adj.- This pot adjust the frequency level sent to your speaker
on channel one when using your amplifier in subwoofer mode.
15. Channel 1 Subwoofer Mode On/Off Switch - Turns the subwoofer mode for channel
one on and off.
16. Channel 1 Balanced 1/4" TRS & XLR Input Connectors - These connectors accept
input signals on balanced TRS and XLR input plugs. See the figures 3-5 for
information on polarity. Connectors for each channel are in parallel; the unused
connectors may be used for "loop through" connection to other amplifiers.
XLR pin setting: Pin-3/signal Negative, Pin-2/signal Positive, Pin-1/Ground.
17. Channel 2 XLR THRU Jack - This Jack is used to send a parallel signal from the
channel 2 input jack to another device or amplifier.
18. Mode Selection Switch - This recessed, three-position switch configures the
amplifier for Stereo, Parallel or Bridged Mode operation. Amplifiers are factoryconfigured for Stereo Mode. See section on Mode Selection for more information.
19. Channel 1 XLR THRU Jack - This Jack is used to send a parallel signal from the
channel 1 input jack to another device or amplifier.
20. Reset Button - This button is used to reset the breaker.
21. Channel 2 Speakon Output - Use pins 1+ and 1- of this 4-pole Speakon connector to
connect to your speakers input jack.
22. Channel 1 Speakon Output - Use pins 1+ and 1- of this 4-pole Speakon connector to
connect to your speakers input jack.
23. Channel 2 Output Jack / 5-Way Binding Post - Connect to your speakers input jack.
Red is positive signal and Black is negative signal.
24. Channel 1 Output Jack / 5-Way Binding Post - Connect to your speakers input jack.
Red is positive signal and Black is negative signal.
25. AC POWER Cord - Plug this cable into a standard 110V or 220V wall outlet. Be sure
that the supplied voltage in your area matches the amplifiers required voltage. Never
plug your amplifier into a wall outlet that does not match the required voltage of your
amplifier, serious damage may occur to your unit.
