SAFETY RULES

• The MSX sub-bass/electronics unit must be powered exclusively by an earth-connected

mains socket in an electrical network compliant to IEC 364 or similar local rules. It is

absolutely vital that the user veriﬁes this fundamental safety requirement. If you are in any

doubt, get the installation checked by qualiﬁed personnel before use.

• The means of disconnection from the mains is the mains plug. We strongly recommend that

you power the MSX from a professionally installed mains supply with an easily accessible

on/off switch or circuit breaker. A comprehensive mains distribution system with circuit

breakers is available from Martin Audio.

• Before powering the MSX via the Neutrik® PowerCON TRUE1 connector, make sure that

the unit is supplied with the correct mains operating voltage: 100 – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz

• The MSX power section is protected by four fuses:

• F1, F2, F3: 3 x 3.15 A Type “T” (power ampliﬁers)

• F4: 1 x 4 A Quick blow (aux power supply)

• Do not use this unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken

• Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will expose you to potentially dangerous

voltages.

• When not ﬁtted with the optional MSX rain cowl (Martin Audio Pt No ASF15027) or not

used with mains connector/cords rated to at least IP25, the MSX must not be exposed to

dripping, or splashing and no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on

the apparatus.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual explains in detail the individual components that may comprise an MLA Mini

system. System wiring and rigging is explained and the two key software packages are covered.

It is not however the intention for this manual to be the sole tutorial medium for those wishing

to use the system. Each system sale is accompanied by a one-day training course which covers

use of the system and includes hands-on setting up and de-rigging. A growing number of trained

technicians have completed the course. In no circumstances should a system be used without

a trained MLA technician present. This manual is intended as a reference for those who have

completed the course, NOT as a replacement for it.

ABOUT THE MLA MINI DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

MLA Mini is the latest Martin Audio product to utilise a revolutionary multicellular approach to

sound distribution in venues of all sizes. Unlike other line array designs which concentrate on

generating a coherent wavefront of the sound leaving the front of the array, the MLA approach is

to aim to achieve as coherent a wavefront as possible at the audience position. Beneﬁting from

Martin Audio’s superb acoustic design, the system makes it possible to achieve a phenomenally

even distribution of sound to each and every audience member and to ensure minimum sound

leakage into areas where it is not wanted, something that no other system can offer.

The combination of integral ampliﬁcation and DSP offers a hitherto unheard-of level of control

in an ultra-lightweight loudspeaker system. In conjunction with Martin Audio’s two software

applications - Display 2.2 for system design and VU-Net for network control, outstanding levels

of consistent, high quality audio can be distributed to every point throughout the audience in a

venue.

The rigging design of MLA Mini systems has been based on the existing popular and efﬁcient

Martin Audio line array systems, but with some innovative improvements. This allows

phenomenally quick system rigging and de-rigging, particularly aided by the absence of separate

ampliﬁer racks.
