VOLUME REMOTE
Description
MP 44 Use
e MP 44's REMOTE LEVEL port provides a means to
control the level of the MASTER mix from a remote location.
e range of control is 0 dB to -40 dB. Applications include
”gain riding” DJs, setting a comfortable listening level from a
remote location and reducing the maximum available gain.
DA 26 Use
A port for a wired Remote Level control is provided for each
of the six Outputs. Using the optional VR 1 Remote control pro-
vides an audio taper response from 0 dB to > -80 dB. To control
more than one Remote Port with a single Remote control, it is only
necessary to connect the Vc pin of each additional port.
Voltages
Turn the power to the unit off until all connections are made.
It is important to ensure that the Remote Ports are not subjected
to sustained voltages outside the range of 0 to 5 VDC or high
levels of static. Inputs are protected, however, caution is the
better part of... you know. It is a good idea to install the wiring,
connect it to the Remote and then make the final connections at
the Remote Port.
Do not short the Vr pin to ground. is pin is current lim-
ited; however, excess heat is generated in the 5 V supply if a short
occurs. Never subject the Vr pin to voltages above 5 V.
Remote Mounting
e VR 1 remote assembly mounts in a standard U.S. electri-
cal box with a minimum depth of 2.25" (5.5 cm). Use the flat
head #6 screws supplied with the kit to mount the remote assem-
bly and silk-screened front panel to the electrical box.
Install the knob so that the line on the knob is properly
aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the remote.
Install any Decora plate of your choice. For a secured installa-
tion, you may wish to leave the knobs off and use a blank Decora
plate to cover the remote after adjustment.
Euroblock Connections
Be sure to note the wire color of each input in order to facili-
tate correct wiring to the controlled unit. If the ground or shield
wire is left shorter, it acts as a strain relief for the other wires.
Connect each wire to the 3-pin connector by fully inserting it in
the correct socket and tightening the screw. Make sure wires are
free of nicks and that the cable jacket is stripped back sufficiently
to allow it to lie in the electrical box with the remote assembly
inserted.
