Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

possible future shipment.

Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/PA-120Z, PA-240Zto check for up-to-date user

manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where

appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor

matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

Position your Kramer PA-240Z away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

amplifier featuring balanced and unbalanced inputs and also a line-level balanced output. This

powerful amplifier is suitable for large-scale applications.

PA-240Z is housed in a desktop sized enclosure and two units can be mounted in a 1U rack

space using the optional RK-1 adapter.

PA-240Z provides exceptional quality and user-friendly operation.

Exceptional Quality

For PA-240Z:

A single channel of 240W into a 70V/100V line.

2 channels of 120W into 4/8Ω.

For PA-120Z:

A single channel of 120W into a 70V/100V line.

2 channels of 60W into 4/8Ω.

Individual input mix, EQ and HPF (High-Pass Filter) per output.

Built-in 3-band parametric EQ.

PA-240Z - Connecting the PA-240Z

Connecting the PA-240Z

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your PA-240Z. After

connecting your PA-240Z, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

To connect the PA-240Z as illustrated in the example in Figure 4:

1. Connect the audio sources. For example:

An unbalanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 1 3.5mm mini jack (for

example, an MP3 player).

A balanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 2 5-pin terminal block connector

(for example, the Kramer VP-444 Switcher/Scaler).

2. Connect the LINE OUT balanced stereo audio 5-pin terminal block connecter to a

balanced stereo input (for example, an additional PA-240Z device).

3. Connect the Hi-Z OUT or Lo-Z OUT 4-pin terminal block connector as follows:

For Hi-Z connection: connect Hi-Z and COM terminal blocks to the + and –terminals

of a mono speaker (for example, the Galil 8-C ceiling speakers, daisy chained).

The speakers either output the left side (L+, L-) of the audio input or the stereo input

reduced to a mono signal (see Selecting Hi-Z Mono Settings on page 17).

For Lo-Z connection: connect the L+ and L- connectors to the left-side speaker and

the R+ and R- connectors to the right-side speaker (for example, the Yarden 6-O

speakers).

4. Set the DIP-switches :

For Hi-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Hi-Z and then set DIP-switch 2 to 70V or

100V.

For Lo-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Lo-Z.

5. If required, connect:

A PC via RS-232 , see Connecting to PA-240Z via RS-232 on page 8.

The ETHERNET port , see Connecting PA-240Z via the Ethernet Port on page 9.

From the RS-232 9-pin D-sub serial port connect:

Pin 2 to the TX pin on the PA-240Z RS-232 terminal block

Pin 3 to the RX pin on the PA-240Z RS-232 terminal block

Pin 5 to the G pin on the PA-240Z RS-232 terminal block
