XLR/

RCA

Source Inputs

The Source Inputs 1,2,3 and 4 are stereo RCA unbalanced 
jacks, which feed signal to the front panel routing switches.  
Maximum signal level is +24dB. The Left and Right signals 
are summed together and the mono signal is distributed to 
the Zone Outputs.

Unbalanced Outputs

The Unbalanced Outputs are mono RCA jacks that always 
provide an unbalanced version of the output signal at the 
balanced XLR jacks.  Maximum output level is +16dB.

Balanced Outputs

The Balanced Output jacks are male XLR, pin 2 positive, 
that deliver the master output signal to the sound system 
amplifiers. Signal is line level and mono.  Maximum output 
level is +22dB.

Cooling Fan

The  Fan  is  installed  to  pull  clean  air  into  the  chassis 
through  the  attached  filter  and  exhaust  through 
perforations in the sides of the unit.   The filter helps keep 
the inside of the MPM4 clean and should be removed and 
washed  periodically  to  maintain  optimum  performance. 
Ensure  that  airflow  to  the  fan  and  side  vents  is  not 
restricted.

AC Inlet

The universal IEC inlet connects to the incoming AC line to 
the Power Supply.  The MPM4 operates with 100-250VAC 
and  is  rated  at  25  Watts.   All  settings  of  the  MPM4  are 
saved in non-volatile memory through power cycling.  The 
MPM4 powers up with the same settings that it had when 
power  was  removed.    All  settings  are  recorded  ten 
seconds after any control change is made.

Remote Controls

The Remote Control Connections allow optional MPM4R 
remote  control  accessory  plates  to  be  used  for  source 
selection and volume control.  One MPM4R can be placed 
in each zone using CAT5 cable up to 1500' from the MPM4 
master  unit.    Connectors  are  8  pin  RJ45  plugs  on  both 
ends wired straight through. The MPM4R uses all eight 
wires in the cable.

REAR  PANEL  CONNECTIONS  AND 
SWITCHES

MPM4R remote control units 
allow the user to select any 
of the four Source Inputs and 
control  the  audio  volume  in 
each Zone without having to 
access the main MPM4 unit.  
One MPM4R can be used in 
each  of  the  four  Zones.   
Connections  between  the 
MPM4R  and  the  main  unit 
are  made  through  RJ-45 
jacks  using  CAT  5  wire.   
Cable length can be as long 
as  1500  feet.    MPM4R 
remote  controls  use  a 
Decora style insert plate for 
easy installation in standard 
electrical boxes.
