AL1 Module
(
Figures 9 & 10)
The AL1 — Automatic Line-Level Switcher — module has a default input as
well as a sensing input. When signal is detected at the sensing input, that
signal is fed to the amplifier as well as its output jacks. At the same time a 12V
DC control signal is present on the removable screw connector.
The sensing input has a sensitivity control as well as a delay adjustment which
controls the time the module waits after the signal at the sensing jack subsides
before switching back to the default input.
Figure 10
shows a 275 SE amplifier with the AL1 module in a restaurant
installation. The module’s default input is connected to the house restaurant
audio and the sensing input monitors the paging microphone. The output is
feeding a second 275 SE that has the factory-installed BBE module.
