10. Master Mix Control. This control is used to adjust the audio level of the
mixer’s MASTER OUTPUT.

11. Aux Input Control. This control adjusts the audio level into the mixer
received through the AUXILIARY INPUT connector.

12. Mic 1–8 Auto-Mix Switches. These switches enable and disable auto
mixing on each microphone channel.

13. Mic 1–8 Controls. These controls adjust the audio level received by each
microphone.

Back-Panel Connectors

1. Power Connector (AC). Connect a power cord (See Figure 3, below.)
between this connector and the line voltage source.

2. Line Voltage Selector. Select the line voltage input as 100V, 120V, 220V,
240V.

3. Baud Rate Select. The correct baud rate must be set to interface your
MPAII with your PC for programming. Proper selection of the baud rate is
required for correct communication between the MPAII and the PC.

4. COM Port. Connect this RS232 port to your PC or other programming
device.

5. Logic Output Connector. This connects to any electronic equipment you
choose (i.e. cameras, signage, timers). When connected to a camera, for
example, the camera will focus on the area in which the microphone is
placed when the microphone become active.

6. Speakers Jacks. Connect 8ohm speakers here.

7. PA Output Connector. Loop the MPAII input to additional MPAIIs or
other devices.

8. PA Input Connector. Connect to the mixer’s output or external device to
route audio to the power amplifier.

9. Mic Input 1–8 Connectors. Connect microphones here. Each input
corresponds to the microphone-channel indicators and adjustments on the
front panel.

10. Phantom Power Selector. These back-panel dip switches are easily
