(2) MICROPHONE LOGIC OUTPUT +5V – status line outputs for indicating which microphone is active.
(3) CONTROL – RS-232 Port for external control of the MicVIEW functions.
(4) LINK IN/OUT – Link Port for connecting multiple MicVIEW units for expanded functionality.
(5) AUDIO LINE OUTPUT – Analog line level output for connection to amplifier or codec for broadcast or
transmission of audio.
(6) MICROPHONES – Twelve 3-Pin connectors for connecting external microphones with 24V phantom
power.
(7) MUTE – Connecting these pins mutes microphones 2-12 and any linked MicVIEW systems.
1.) Connect the (+), (-), and (S)hield pins on microphone Inputs 1-12 to the respec-
tive microphones.
• Microphones 1 and 2 cam be switched to line-level or mic-level with or without
phantom power. Press the Input x Mic button on the front to toggle between miclevel and line-level, and press Input x Phantom Power to toggle phantom power
ON/OFF.
2.) Connect the (+), (-), and (S)heild pins on the Line Output to the line-level on a
codec or amplifier.
• To connect the line output to a phono
cable, connect (+) to the center pin on the
phone cable and the (S) on the MicVIEW
to the negative wire on the phone cable.
DO NOT connect (-) and (S) together as they may
damage the MicVIEW.
WARNING
3.) The MicVIEW units can be linked together by standard Straight-through 6-Pin
RJ-11 cables. The Link light will illuminate when the link is correctly established.
• If two MicVIEW units are to be used to-
gether, connect the Link OUT of the Master system to the Link IN of the slave uni
(see figure at right). Continue by connect-
