-A selected source (LED lit) is deselected when its key is pressed again (all
LEDs off), leaving the unit without an active line

MICROPHONE SELECTION:
-Pressing either the MIC1 or MIC2 keys activates the corresponding
microphone input (LED lit = microphone selected)
-One, both or neither microphone can be selected simultaneously (both LEDs
lit)
-A selected microphone (LED lit) is deselected (LED off) when its key is
pressed again
Note: Sources can also be selected with a remote control, with a WPmVOL-SR remote control
panel (only LINE sources) or with the serial communication port. It is also possible to store
presets that have a determined combination of active sources and recover them later with any of
the available methods. Continue reading this manual to learn the details of all of these options.
The way in which the active (selected) sources are directed to the unit's outputs
depends on its operating mode:
OPERATING
MODE
ROUTING SIGNALS TO THE OUTPUTS
STEREO
(
St displayed on
the LCD screen)
The selected line is sent in stereo configuration to the outputs (input L to output A (L)
and input R to output B (R))
The selected microphones are either simultaneously sent to both outputs (L and R)
either as a direct sum of the line signal or using the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)
MONO
(
Mo displayed
on the LCD
screen)
The selected line is sent in mono configuration (L+R) to both outputs (input L + input R
to outputs L and R)
The selected microphones are sent simultaneously to both outputs (L and R) either as
a direct sum via the line signal or with the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)
BRIDGE
(
Br displayed on
the LCD screen)
The selected line is sent in mono configuration (L+R) to the single output in bridge
mode (the speakers must be connected using the rear panel's and -
connectors)
The selected microphones are sent to the single output in bridge mode (rear panel's
and - connectors), either as a direct sum via the line signal or with the
TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)
ZONES A/B
(
ZA or ZB
displayed on the
LCD screen)
Each output zone is monophonic and can have a source selection and/or microphones
that are independent from each other:

ZONE A: can receive the signal from one line (L+R) and/or one of the two
microphones

ZONE B: can receive the signal from one line (L+R) and/or one of the two
microphones
Consequently the two zones are totally independent in terms of output volumes,
selection of received sources and broadcast volumes.
The microphones can work on the output zone directly, either as a direct sum via the
line signal selected or with the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)
(*) If the Talkover function is active, the microphone signal attenuates the line signal
when it exceeds the activation threshold. In addition, if an MPAGE4 alert console is
connected to the PAGER connector and the PAGER function of the MIC1 input is
activated, it is possible to select the destination of the voice message emitted by the
console, directing it either to zone A, zone B or both (internally the PAGER connector
delivers its microphone signal to the MIC1 input).
