Speaker Output Connector — This 2-pole 5 mm screw-lock captive screw connector is used to connect speakers to the amplifier. The MPA 601-70V provides up to 60W for a 70V distributed sound system, while the MPA 601-100V provides up to 60W for a 100V distributed sound system.
Figure 11. MPA 601-70V and MPA 601-100V Front Panel NOTE: The front panels of the MPA 601-70V and MPA 601-100V are identical. Power LED — Lights green when the unit is fully on and amber when the unit is in standby mode.
Setting Bass and Treble NOTES: • When the potentiometer is at the center detent (vertical), the frequency response is flat. Turning the potentiometers counterclockwise will decrease the BASS TREBLE output level at the specified frequencies, while turning the potentiometers clockwise will increase the level at the specified frequencies.
Controlling Multiple Amplifiers with One Remote Controller Several MPA 601 units can be daisy-chained so that one volume controller can simultaneously regulate the volume of all the amplifiers. NOTES: • As additional amplifiers are added to the daisy chain, the sensitivity of the remote control volume potentiometer will change.
