Up to two microphones can be plugged into the 4 Channel Preamplifier and used for paging. Microphones’
can be Rowe custom design, CB or “Rowe CB”, low level balanced, low level unbalanced, or Rowe wireless.
NOTE 1: A 26679501 Paging System is needed to use low-level balanced and unbalanced
microphones.
NOTE 2: MIC 1 input has the standard voice activated and switch activated circuitry. MIC 2 input
has only the switch activated circuitry.
Rowe custom design microphones are no longer available but existing ones have a momentary PUSH to
TALK switch, a volume control, and plug directly into the 4 Channel Preamplifier connectors MIC 1 or MIC 2
via a Rowe 50-foot microphone cable.
The following Paging System Kits are available: The 26679501 Paging System with Hand-Held Microphone
contains: a Rowe CB type microphone that does not have a volume control, a Paging Microphone Adapter
that has a volume control, a Rowe 50-foot microphone cable that connects between the Paging Adapter and
the 4 Channel Preamplifier, and installation and operating instructions.
The 30995201 Paging System with Hand-Held Wireless Microphone allows wireless paging and its receiver
plugs into the 4 Channel Preamplifier connectors MIC 1 or MIC 2. The wireless receiver has an output level
adjustment that’s accessed through a hole in the cover. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to adjust it.
