SETUP PROCEDURE

6.1

Connections

6.1.1

Loop

Screw connections are provided for connection of the wire loop.

6.1.2

Microphones

All connections to the microphone inputs are by 5 pin180° DIN connectors, which are supplied with the
equipment. Microphone 1 has the facility of priority, making it possible to mute all other inputs. To utilise this
feature the access pins 4 & 5 must be closed (shorted) during the announcement, this is normally done via
the PTT switch on the microphone to be connected.

If the priority function on Microphone Input 1 is not used, ALL inputs will be in mix-mode.

All microphone inputs are balanced with 200µV @ 200  sensitivity. Signal is connected to pin 1 and the
screen to pin 2.

Wiring Instructions for Microphone Inputs 2 and 3:

6.1.3

Auxiliary

Up to two auxiliary input signals can be used, these can be from signal sources such as Cassette, Radio or
CD players, Two sensitivity levels are provided at 300mV (low) and 50mV (high). Pin 3 provides the high
sensitivity, pin 5 provides the low sensitivity and pin 2 is the screen connection.

6.1.4

Tape output (DLS 5 only)

The connector can be used for recording purposes or driving slave amplifiers. An output level of 550mv (at
full output) is provided on pin 1 and the screen or ground is on pin 2.
