MPA Series User Manual v1.1
When this transformer is in circuit it is strongly
recommended that the amplier’s 65 Hz high pass lter is
set ON (see section below: High pass lter).
High pass lter
A high pass lter is provided to protect speakers,
transformers etc. from the effects of low frequency signals.
The lter is enabled by the internal jumper J2 (see g.7). The
lter reduces the output level of frequencies below 65 Hz,
and ideally should be used if the line output transformer is
in circuit.
Music Mute
(Fire Alarm Interface)
In some installations (such as licensed premises or retail
outlets within a shopping mall), there may be a local
authority or re service requirement to mute the music
signals from a re alarm control panel when an alarm
condition arises. The MPA Series ampliers include a
facility to mute the music signals only (i.e., mic inputs are
still active), via the Music Mute input. This is a 2-pin 5 mm-
pitch screw terminal connector on the rear panel, and the
contacts are fully isolated.
Activation of the Music Mute is often via a relay mounted
close to the MPA Series amplier, powered by the re alarm
control panel. Other arrangements may exist depending
on the design of the re control system and the re alarm
installation company should be consulted when making the
connection. The MPA Series ampliers will mute on either a
contact closure at the Music Mute input (NO) or an open-
circuit (NC). Selection of NO or NC operation is made with
internal jumper J14. NO is the factory default. See g.6.
Bose® Equalisation Modules
MPA Series ampliers are compatible with single channel
Bose® Series II equalisation modules. EQ modules are
available to suit the following Bose® loudspeakers:
Panaray MA12•
Panaray 402-II, 502B and 502BEX•
Panaray LT Series: •
Models 3302, 4402, 9402 and 9702.
Modules to suit other models are available – please enquire.
Installation Instructions
Refer to the pcb layout diagram (see g.7) for the location
of the Bose EQ module connector and its associated bypass
jumper J3.
To install an EQ module, proceed as follows:
Switch off the power and isolate the unit from the 1.
mains.
Remove the top panel.2.
Remove jumper J3 from the main pcb.3.
Plug the Bose® equalisation module onto its connector; 4.
note that the connector has two notches on one
side which engage with lugs on the module’s mating
connector to ensure correct orientation.
Replace the top panel. 5.
