Standards Applied EMC Emission Immunity Electrical Safety 1 EN55103-1:1996 EN55103-2:1996 EN60065:1998 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Martin Audio EMX Series system controller.
> PRINT GUIDES To change the mains voltage, remove the rectangular fuse cap and replace it so that the correct voltage is indicated by the arrow on the body of the rectangle. The earth terminal on the IEC connector is permanently connected to the metal casing. The unit is supplied with the 0V electronic reference ground taken to the case via an internal ‘signal ground’ lead and space receptacle, which inserts a ground lift resistor when in the ‘Earth Off’ position.
5 > PRINT GUIDES OUTPUT CONNECTIONS EMX1A outputs are electronically balanced auto compensating via male XLR type connectors. Pin 1 is the (ground) connection and the signal appears between Pins 2 and 3. Always use 2-core + screen ‘balanced’ type signal leads, even for unbalanced circuits. The screen should be regarded as separate from the signal return, even if they are connected together at one end of the line.

< > PRINT GUIDES Each EMX1A output has an associated limiter which provides momentary gain reduction when that output signal level exceeds a preset threshold. Internal PCB mounted jumper plugs J1 - J4 select the thresholds for the particular EM Series loudspeaker system being used.
> PRINT GUIDES rating be used, the limiter positions shown in brackets should be used as indicated by the table on page 6 to increase the associated limiter thresholds. Amplifier gain controls should normally be set at maximum. If a single EMX1A output is used to drive several amplifier channels with different gain settings, the sense input should be connected to the channel with the highest setting.
