Link Switch Routing Examples
The following examples illustrate the routing applications for
the Link switch.
Routing One Input to Two Outputs
To route one input to both channel outputs:
•
Set Link switch to ON.
Routing Each Input to its Corresponding Output
To route each input to its corresponding channel output:
•
Set Link switch to OFF.
Input Impedance for Linked Channel Inputs
When the Link switch is enabled, channel 1 input’s
unbuffered source signal is transmitted in parallel to both
channel 1 and 2 outputs. This selection causes the channel
input’s impedance (normally 10 kOhms for one loudspeaker)
to be reduced for each linked output. For example:
•
1 channel output, 10 kOhm input impedance
•
2 channel outputs, 5 kOhm input impedance
To avoid distortion when linking channel inputs, make
sure the source device can drive the total load
impedance of the linked loudspeakers. Most source devices
are capable of driving loads no smaller than 10 times their
output impedance. To drive two loudspeakers linked from a
single channel input, the source device should have an
output impedance of less than 500 ohms.
Channel Outputs
The MPS-482HP’s two channel outputs deliver DC power
(48 V DC) and balanced audio to two loudspeakers. The
channel outputs are available as Phoenix 5-pin male
connectors.
NOTE:
For information about cable
requirements for your loudspeaker, refer to its
operating instructions. For information on cables and
cable accessories available from Meyer Sound, see
Appendix A, “MPS-482HP Cable Accessories.”
TIP:
A single composite cable (such as Belden
1502 or equivalent) wired for both DC power
and balanced audio can be used to connect
loudspeakers to channel outputs.
CAUTION:
Make sure loudspeaker cables are
wired correctly. For details about assembling
loudspeaker cables, refer to Appendix B, “Assembling
Loudspeaker Cables.”
NOTE:
HMS-15 loudspeakers require power
from two contiguous channels of the MPS-
482HP. If audio signal is present on both channels
connected to an HMS-15, the signal is summed
internally.
