3. INSTALLATION and CONNECTION
Installing an MPAGE1r unit consists of the following steps:
1.
Installation of audio wiring: remove the screw in the bottom of the device, and slide
the bottom plate to access the connectors. Hole the rubber grommet and pass the
audio cable through it. Cable balancing between the MICR connection of the
MPAGE1r and the audio input of the receiving equipment (mixer, audio matrix, etc.):
Live or direct signal

Cold or inverted signal

The audio cable also delivers the
phantom
power required for the MPAGE1r unit
to operate and which must be supplied remotely by the receiver.
2.
Installation of TRIGGER control wiring (optional): the status of the control signal of
the TRIGGER connector can be selected by means of an internal jumper – Normally
Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.). When N.O. is selected, control signal will be
active while the PAGE key is pressed. When N.C. is selected, control signal will be
inactive while the PAGE key is pressed. The control signal is used for the remote
control of certain functions of external equipment, such as to enable the MUTE
function of an MIMO88 unit using one of its GPI inputs, a MUTE input on a SAM
mixer, etc.
Note:
the TRIGGER control signal is not a power-free contact closure; rather, it
operates thanks to a circuit based on MOSFET devices. For more information,
consult the technical features of the equipment.
3.
Adjust the microphone level of the receiver equipment
The console microphone is a non-extractable
electret
cardioid
type mounted on a
flexo. It is supplied with an
"anti-pop"
foam windshield.
4. OPERATION
Once the MPAGE1r unit is connected to the receiver, messages are sent by pressing the
PAGE key and keeping it pressed while the voice message plays.
If the receiver has a “
talkover
” function that works by automatically detecting the signal
delivered by the microphone or by closing the external contact using the TRIGGER connector, the
sound in the areas where the message is being received will be attenuated or muted
•
while the message is being delivered if there is automatic level detection (PAGE key
p message playing) or
•
as long as the PAGE key is pressed if activated by closing the contact
