ticonductor cables (such as Belden
®
1502) allows a single
cable to carry both audio and DC power from the
MPS-488HP to the loudspeakers. Longer cable lengths are
possible for moderate applications that don't drive the loud-
speakers to maximum output, as well as for installations with
heavier wire gauges.
The power supply’s front panel has two LEDs per channel
output that provide useful feedback on the status of the sys-
tem. The blue voltage LEDs indicate when voltage is present
for each channel output. The green load current LEDs indi-
cate when a loudspeaker is connected to a channel output,
glow brighter as the signal level increases, and flash when a
short circuit is encountered.
Available as a factory-installed option is the RMS™ remote
monitoring system module, which provides loudspeaker
muting and monitoring of output voltage and load current
parameters from a Mac
®
- or Windows
®
-based computer.
For more information, see Chapter 4, “MPS-488HP RMS
Option.”
NOTE:
The MPS-488HP external power supply
replaces the MPS-488 model, which was origi-
nally designed for use with MM-4XP loudspeakers.
The MPS-488 is also compatible with larger Intelli-
gentDC models, but can only power a maximum of
four of these loudspeakers; when powering these
loudspeakers with the MPS-488, they should only be
connected to channel outputs 1, 3, 5, and 7 (do not
use the even-numbered channel outputs).
