INTRODUCTION The Australian Monitor Installation Series MP8 is a 2 RU monitoring panel that allows you to monitor any of up to 8, constant voltage or low impedance speaker lines. [. . . ] NOTE: When using 24VDC IN terminals the power LED will always be on. ´ Power Switch: This switch switches power from the AC/DC plug pack input. NOTE: When using 24VDC IN terminals the unit is on regardless of switch position. INSTALLATION SERIES Australian Monitor 6 3 INPUT FROM 100V LINE AMP .

BACK PANEL 12-24V AC/DC TIP +VE ¬ Power Socket: This 2. 1mm socket accepts AC or DC voltage between 12V and 24V. For DC, tip is positive. 24VDC In Binding Posts: These binding posts provide connection for 24V emergency systems and is not switched by the front panel power switch. The 24VDC IN does not provide trickle charge facility. ® Input Terminal Strip: Paired connection from each amplifier in the system. The label AMP `X' corresponds with AMPLIFIER `X' on the selector switches. ¯ Output Terminal Strip: Paired connection to each zone speaker distribution, wired in parallel with input terminal strip. NOTE: The terminal lug accepts wire gauges from AWG22 (0. 75mm) up to AWG16 (1. 5mm). Each terminal is rated at 15A/300VAC. NOTE: The MP8 will accept input from both constant voltage systems and low impedance systems or a mixture of the two. INSTALLATION SERIES Australian Monitor 7 4. INSTALLATION Wiring: Connect the speaker output of the first amplifier to INPUT terminals labelled AMP 1, maintaining correct polarity. Connect the speaker load for this amplifier to OUTPUT terminals labelled ZONE 1. Repeat for additional amplifiers and speaker loads. Always use appropriate cable for amplifier to MP8 and MP8 to speaker wiring. Power Requirements: The MP8 can operate on the supplied plug pack and/or separate 24V DC power supply. A NOTE ABOUT GROUNDING: It may be necessary in some circumstances to ground the MP8 to eliminate noise from the monitor speaker. This can be done using the negative terminal of the 24VDC IN binding post or by making sure that the chassis is electrically connected to the equipment rack (which should be grounded). A NOTE ABOUT SPEAKER ISOLATION: When a zone is selected for monitoring it is isolated from the other amplifiers by 1kohm resistors. The negative input is also AC referenced to chassis ground with a capacitor. INSTALLATION SERIES Australian Monitor 8 5. DIMENSIONS 444. 0mm [17. 5"] INPUT FROM 100V LINE AMP.
