FEATURES
• 3 Inputs suitable for either microphone or line level, or for use as microphone and line level coupled together. disc, cassette, tuner, etc.
• Bass and treble controls (on both microphone and auxiliary inputs).
• Full 30W RMS output (100V and 4 -16Ωoutputs).
• Push to talk muting.
• Protection against over-voltage, over current, thermal run-away and short circuit load.
• Internationally accepted IEC mains socket (240V AC operation only).
• Stereo RCA sockets for all auxiliary inputs (configured to mono internally allowing standard stereo equipment to be directly connected).
• Fully balanced microphone inputs.
• Tape output, suitable for recording, or for connection to a second amplifier.
• Ten year warranty.
CONNECTIONS
Microphone 1
There are three types of sockets on the rear of the amplifier for microphone one. These are 6.35 mm (unbalanced) jack, 5 pin din, or 3 pin XLR
female. The 5 pin din has facility for PTT (push to talk) muting. The PTT contacts will mute input 2 (mic 2 and aux 2) and input 3 (mic 3 and
aux 3). The PTT contacts will not mute Aux 1 input. Wiring for 5 pin din socket is as per Fig 1. We recommend that you connect only one
microphone at a time to input 1.
For connection to the 3 pin XLR sockets refer to Fig 2.
Microphones 2 and 3
These are via 3 pin XLR sockets. Refer to Fig 2 for wiring these.
Speaker Outputs
Screw terminals are provided for both VC (voice coil) and 100V outputs. Minimum impedance for 100V loads is 333Ω(When only the 100V
output is used).Minimum impedance when only VC output is used is 8-16Ω@ 30W total load. A combination of 100V and VC is possible how-
ever we do not recommend this. If more than 30W is used then the unit may shut down due to overloading.
Tape Out
This is a mono output configured for a stereo lead for direct connection to a stereo source. This is suitable for connection to an auxiliary input
on external equipment. This is also suitable for driving 600Ωloads.
JP1 JP2
Configuration 1
When both jumpers are set to the outside the following logic applies...
•When paging through input 1, the VOX switch (where fitted) mutes
both inputs 2 and 3.
•When the PTT contacts on input 1 are closed, both inputs 2 and 3
are muted.
•Paging through input 2 or input 3 has no effect on any other input.
Note
1-There is no PTT facility on inputs 2 and 3.
2 - The PTT facility on microphone 1 will not mute Aux.1.
Configuration 2
When both jumpers are set to the inside the following logic applies...
• When paging through input 2, the VOX switch mutes input 3.
• When the PTT contacts on input 1 are closed, input 3 is muted.
• Paging through input 3 has no effect on any other input.
Note
1 - There is no PTT facility on inputs 2 and 3.
2 - There is no priority between input 1 and input 2 in this
configuration, i.e. paging on both inputs 1 and 2 simultaneously will
mean they mix together.
INTERNAL JUMPER SETTINGS
The amplifier has 3 sets of internally selectable jumpers, located as per figure 3.
VOX Muting Adjustments
VOX can be selected ON or OFF on the board via JP3.
1-VR1 adjusts the VOX sensitivity (i.e. input level that will activate switch). Turning the trimpot anticlockwise (as viewed from top) will make the
VOX switch less sensitive. This will prevent unwanted activation due to high ambient (background noise).
2 - VR2 adjusts the tail length (i.e. time before switching off) of the VOX switch. Turning VR2 anti-clockwise will increase the tail length.
Important Note: There are only two combinations of jumper settings for JP1 and JP2:
• Configuration 1: both jumpers set to the outside
• Configuration 2: both jumpers set to the inside
No other combinations can be used.

OPERATION
Once all inputs and outputs are connected:
1 - Turn bass and treble to midway point.
2 - Turn all volume controls to zero.
3 - Turn power switch on. Power indicator should illuminate.
4-Turn on microphone or auxiliary input source and adjust appropriate volume control to desired level.
The microphone and auxiliary for each input are mixed together, e.g. mic 1 and aux 1 are mixed. Both the mic and auxiliary inputs can be run
together but note there is only the one volume control for both of these.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Power
(Power LED light does not illuminate)
Check mains fuse. Only replace with M205, 240V AC 0.5A rated fuse.
Distorted output
Check that the speaker type is correct for the output that you are using. Check for any short circuits on the speaker line.
Very low output
Make sure that the input is the correct level (check for shorted connectors). Check for any short circuits on the speaker line.
Continually blows fuses
Make sure that the speaker line is not shorted. Check also speaker types, ratings and if on correct output.
Amplifier keeps cutting in and out
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the amplifier. Check the vent slots on the case are not covered or blocked. Check also
speaker types, ratings and for any short circuits on the speaker line.
