Mains
The MLA mains inlet is located on the left of the amplifier module at the rear of the cabinet and is a standard 16A Male 230V
single phase IP44 rated Ceeform inlet connector. A comprehensive mains distribution system is supplied with MLA Compact
systems which features female outlets rated at IP67.
As the MLA Compact has a vertical dispersion of 10⁰, it is quite possible for
the lower cabinets in a steeply curved array to have their mains inlet connectors pointing above the horizontal and therefore in
extreme weather conditions at outdoor events there is the possibility of water ingress even with an IP64/67 rated connector
combination. To compact this there is an additional measure in form of a canvas bag with a drawstring neck in which the amplifier
mains inlet is housed. Once the connection has been made with the incoming Ceeform from the mains distribution system, the
drawstring is pulled around the mains cable and is held tightly secure with a spring-loaded button press release catch.
The MLA Compact has a universal PSU suitable for direct connection to virtually any mains voltage anywhere in the world. If you
are not using the Martin Audio MLA distribution system a matching Ceeform 16A female outlet connector must be used. For
outdoor use this should be rated at IP67, this is to ensure safe operating when any connectors are disconnected in damp
conditions.
Audio & network
The main connection panel is on the rear of the cabinet to the right and features a male input and female link 3 pin XLR for
balanced analogue or AES/EBU digital input signals. Input type is selected via the Vu-Net software. The Neutrik XLR’s are fitted
with a hinged cover for protection when not in use.
