Zone outputs

Connect  the  inputs  of  the  power  amplifiers  feeding  the 

loudspeakers for each zone to 

ZONE

 1 to 

8*

. Note that the 

zone outputs are all mono. All outputs are balanced and will 
drive input impedances down to 600 ohms. Nominal output 

level  is  0  dBu  (775  mV). The  output  is  designed  to  drive 
professional/industrial power amplifiers with balanced inputs 
(typically on XLRs). In this case, wire as the diagram below. 

Note that the screen can be left unconnected at the source 
end if earth loops are a problem.

Amplifiers with unbalanced inputs:

If audio amplifiers with only unbalanced inputs are being used

Microphone inputs

Mic 1 and Mic 2 inputs are intended for the direct connection 
of microphones. They are electronically balanced and 
transformerless with an input impedance of greater than  
2 kohms and optimised for use with microphones of 200 to 
600 ohms impedance. The screw terminal input connectors 
should be wired thus:

PIN

CONNECTION

1

Screen

2

Signal ‘-’ (cold)

3

Signal ‘+’ (hot)

Unbalanced microphones may be used by connecting pin 2 

to pin 1 (cable screen) in the mating (male) screw-terminal 

connector. 15 V phantom power is available, see “Phantom 
Power” on page 15
.
Each mic input may be routed to any of the zones in use, at any 

level in each zone. Each zone may be configured so that any 

microphone announcements automatically reduce the music 
level in that zone while the announcement is in progress (see 
“Mic 1/Mic 2 priority” on page 16

 for more details.)

The Paging Mic input has the same electrical characteristics 
as Mic 1 and Mic 2, but is intended for the connection of 
a dedicated paging microphone. Mic signals at this input 
will route to all zones at a level determined by the front 
panel preset Paging Level controls, ducking the music while 
an announcement is in progress. VOX or contact-closure 
triggering of the paging priority circuit may be selected; see 
“Paging mic priority” on page 16 for more details.
