The LED output pins p12 VDC through 160Ω current 

limiting resistors when they are turned on. When turned off, 

they are floating. LED indicators should be connected between 

these pins and ground pins on this connector.

The switch inputs have internal pull-ups to +3.3 VDC 

and are ESD protected. When a pushbutton input is needed, 

normally-open switches should be connected between one of 

these inputs and a ground pin.

SPEAKER Connector

This amplifier output is a standard ¼" TRS phone connector. It 

is used to connect a 4Ω minimum loudspeaker to the NM 1 for 

monitoring the selected CobraNet audio channel. The NM 1 

power amplifier can deliver 1 watt continuously into an 8Ω load 

with a pink noise signal that has a 15 dB crest factor (see data 

sheet for detailed specifications). The output configuration re-

quires that the positive and negative signals must remain isolated 

from the chassis and from ground. The plug used 

must

 be TRS; 

use of a TS (i.e. mono) phone plug shorts the power amplifier 

and causes a malfunction.

The threaded metal bushing allows use of a ¼" phone plug 

with a threaded locking ring (e.g., Switchcraft Number 298).

The connector sleeve is connected directly to chassis ground; 

the tip is the positive signal; the ring is the negative signal.

MIC INPUT Connector

The balanced microphone input is an industry standard XLR-3 

type connector (see the NM 1 Data Sheet for specifications). 

Gain is adjusted via SNMP control. IEC 61938 P48 compliant 

48V phantom power is provided.

Connect pins 2 and 3 to the balanced output of the micro-

phone. Pin 1 is directly connected to the chassis; for best noise 

immunity, the microphone cable should have a braid or double 

wound shield. If a cable such as Belden 1800F is used that has 

both a wire shield and a drain wire, then all the shield wires and 

not just the drain wire should be connected to pin 1 of the XLR 

connector.

SysName Switches

On the rear panel are four rotary switches that are used to create 

a four digit identifier that becomes part of the SNMP variable, 

sysName. sysName is then used to uniquely identify a CobraNet 

device on the network. The condition of being unique requires 

that each device on the network have a different setting. Looking 

at the unit with the switches facing you, as in the above diagram, 

the identifier reads from left to right.

Thus, setting the switches to 1, A, 3, 7, respectively, sets the 

sysname variable to “NM1-Sw1A37.”

Mounting

The NM 1 is equipped with mounting ears to solidly attach it to 

a surface if needed. Rubber feet are also included for tabletops.
