Front control > Main
The main screen gives an indication of the operation mode of installed module on the top. When a module is
installed, an icon will indicate the function of the module. In case no module installed, the provided area will display
the amplifier model. When installed and playing, the information regarding the station, track, tuning frequency or
any other carried information will be indicated here.
Below is a fader overview given indicating the output level through VU bar graphs and volume faders, whereby the
output volumes can get adjusted.
In default configuration, the MFA is configured as a two zone system, indicating two output volume faders. (one
for the internal amplifier and a second one for the line out connection). In case only one output is being used (e.g.
internal amplifier) the secondary volume fader can be hidden through adjusting the linking settings. (Settings >
Line out > Output > Link input & Link volume). In this situation, the ‘Line out’ will be greyed-out.
The selection between both outputs is done through the ‘Amplifier’ and ‘Line out’ buttons on left screen side and
volume adjustments are made through turning the rotary function dial clockwise (up) and counter-clockwise (down).
The output level can be adjusted within a range of 0 dB and -90 dB.
The currently selected input, set output level and a mute indicator (red / green) is shown on top of each fader.
Front control > Module
When module control is being selected, the corresponding menu will be loaded. The available functions and
composition of this screen fully depend on the installed module and its functionality. For a full overview of the
available settings for the corresponding module, consult the instruction manual of the installed module itself.
Front control > Input selection
The input signal linked to each of the outputs is configured in the input selection menu. This menu is accessible
by pressing the rotary selection dial in the main screen. When pressed, a list indicating all available inputs will be
shown and the required input can be selected. It includes the microphone input, line input, internal SourceCon™
module input and all available Dante channels (in case an optional Dante module is installed).
A system limitation is that both Line and the SourceCon™ module input are sharing the same internal channel.
This results in the inability to route the line and module to separate outputs at the same time. For all other inputs
(microphone, Dante, ... there is no such restriction... ). This is clearly indicated in the system block diagram which
can be found on page 5 of this manual.
