INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS 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. INTRODUCTION 3 FRONT PANEL 4 This can be done via the on-board 2.5” monitor speaker or via the 8 segment VU meter. The MP8 also provides signal present LED’s for each amplifier as well as LED’s to indicate which amplifier is currently selected for monitoring.
FRONT PANEL 1 1 MONITOR SPEAKER A 2.5” speaker is located behind a cloth grille. No cleaning is required. 2 MONITOR SPEAKER VOLUME CONTROL This knob controls the volume level of the monitor speaker. ☛ NOTE: The Speaker Volume Control does not affect the level of the VU indicator nor does it affect the amplifiers or speaker lines that are connected to the MP8. 3 VU METER This meter indicates the output level of the currently selected amplifier. The 0dB level is referenced to 100V.
REAR PANEL 1 3 2 1 POWER SOCKET This 2.1mm socket accepts AC or DC voltage between 12V and 24V. For DC, tip is positive. 2 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. 3 INPUT TERMINAL STRIP Paired connection from each amplifier in the system. The label AMP ‘X’ corresponds with AMPLIFIER ‘X’ on the selector switches.
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. ☛ A NOTE ABOUT GROUNDING: It may be necessary in some circumstances to ground the MP8 to eliminate noise from the monitor speaker.
OPERATION The SIGNAL PRESENT LED’s give a continuous indication of the signal from each of the eight connected amplifiers. Note that very low levels may not be detected. To monitor a particular amplifier, SELECT the desired amplifier. The listening level may be adjusted using the MONITOR SPEAKER VOLUME. The PROGRAM LEVEL meter gives accurate indication of signal from the selected amplifier. SETTING THE LEVEL The monitor speaker level has been designed to accept a wide range of program levels.
