Input Connections Installation Note Keep input leads away from the output leads and AC power cables. Unless the driving source provides a low-impedance output, keep the input lead under ten feet in length. Make all connections to the unit with the POWER switch in the OFF position MIC 1- 4 (Rear Panel; #21 and #22) MIC 1 through 4 utilize female XLR-type microphone connectors. A slide switch located above each XLR connector is used to supply phantom power for condenser microphones.
Output Connections Pre-Out/Power Amp In Jacks (Rear Panel; #12, #13, #14) These jacks permit the insertion of signal processing equipment into the signal path between the preamp output and the power amp input. The LINK switch should be in the IN position for normal operation. When using external signal processing equipment, place the switch in the OUT position and connect PRE OUT to the signal processing equipment’s input. Connect the POWER AMP IN to the signal processing equipment’s output.
Operation Power Switch (Rear Panel; #2) The POWER switch applies power to the unit. An LED labeled ON, which is located on the front panel, illuminates GREEN when power is on. MIC IC 1 Individual Volume Controls (Front Panel; #1– #4) 4 6 4 0 10 10 4 0 10 4 The overall volume is controlled by the MASTER volume control. 0 6 2 8 0 10 Lo-Cut Filter (Rear Panel; #7) The Lo-Cut filter on the rear panel provides low-frequency attenuation on the microphone inputs.
Operation Parametric Equalizer (Front Panel; #6) 0 0 0 0 0 GAIN A parametric equalizer offers continuous and independent control over the audio signal’s frequency content, which is divided into five frequency bands on the Platinum Series amplifiers. These controls are: +15 -15 100 FREQ • GAIN - The gain (boost/cut) for each frequency band. The gain range for the Platinum Series is -15 dB to ±15 dB as indicated on the GAIN row of controls on the Platinum Series front panel.
Operation ALC (Rear Panel; #17) The TEL input features an automatic level control (ALC) which compensates for different voice levels and speaking styles of the individuals using the system. The amplifier is shipped with this control in the OFF (max. counterclockwise) position. To adjust the ALC: 1. Rotate the MIC 5/TEL and MASTER controls to the highest level likely to be used. 2.
Troubleshooting Amplifier will not turn ON. Check the fuse. Replace fuse only with same type and rating. No audio output. Double-check the position of the LINK switch. No telephone output. Make sure that the MIC 5/TEL switch is in the TEL position. Make sure the VOX control is set properly When connecting the telephone Tip & Ring, make sure to use the two outside terminals and not the center terminal (GND). AUX Input will not mute with telephone page.
