Dynacord CPA 2000, Owner'S Manual

Page: 26 / 58

Important Note: In case the priority function is activated, the MASTER [6] control is bypassed. No gong,
alert signal, or voice message should be activated. The speaker zone has to be assigned before activating
the priority function!
When using the priority function, a priority has to be set which is controlled via the INPUT 1 [40] connector
or the REMOTE CONTROL [58] connector. See also paragraph 7 (Priority function).
The input 3 is prepared for the installation of a voice-operated switch which can be used to control the
priority function or for automated fade in/out operation. See also paragraph 8.3 (Voice-operated switch).
4.4 Phantom power for the inputs 1 - 3
The MIC PHANTOM POWER [50] switch lets you select whether the inputs 1 - 3 are simultaneously
phantom powered or not. For most condenser-type microphones this switch has to be engaged.
4.5 Inputs 4 - 6
The inputs 4 - 6 (INPUT 4 … INPUT 6, [51] to [53]) are used for the connection of line-level equipment
such as Cassette Decks, CD-Players, DAT-Recorders, etc. with output levels of 430 mV to 4.8 V.
The inputs 4 - 6 (INPUT 4 … INPUT 6, [51] to [53]) are carried out as stereo RCA-type sockets. The stereo
signal of the connected sound sources gets internally converted into a monaural signal. The AUX [5] rotary
switch on the front panel of the CPA 2000 lets you select one of the three inputs for reproduction. The
output level is adjusted using the corresponding VOLUME [4] control while the TREBLE [13] and BASS
[14] controls are used to shape the sound of the selected input source.
Important Note: In case the priority function is activated and a signal source is connected to the prioritized
input, the signal which is defined by the setting of the AUX [5] switch is muted. Further, it is not possible
to activate a gong, alert signal, or voice message. The speaker zone has to be assigned before the priority
function is activated!
4.6 Break connections
The insert in-/outputs (BREAK, [55]) are meant for the connection of external amplifiers, equalizers, signal
processors, etc. The insert point is located post master and pre internal amplifier. The connectors are
unbalanced and provide a level of 1.1 volts = +3 dBu.
Caution! When these in-/outputs are not in use, they have to be bridged using the supplied bridging jumper.
Otherwise the CPA 2000 is not operational.
4.7 Remote control connector
