Audio & Network - Martin Audio MLA User Manual

MLA System
USER GUIDE
The MLA has a universal PSU suitable for direct connection to virtually any mains voltage anywhere in the world. If you are not
using the Martin Audio MLA distribution system a matching Ceeform 16A female outlet connector must be used. For outdoor
use this should be rated at IP67, this is to ensure safe operating when any connectors are disconnected in damp conditions.
Audio & network
The main connection panel is on the rear of the cabinet to the right and features a male input and female link 3 pin XLR for
balanced analogue or AES/EBU digital input signals. Input type is selected via the Vu-Net software. The Neutrik XLR's are fitted
with a hinged cover for protection when not in use.
Two 8-pin ODU rugged latching push-pull style data connectors are provided for the U-Net network connection. The two ports
are available so that the network connections can be daisy chained between other MLA cabinets or U-Net equipped devices such
as Martin Audio amplifiers or Merlin system controllers. Either connector can be used as input or link.
A single green LED indicates power and two bi-colour LED's indicate U-Net network integrity. Green indicates that the network
is stable and red indicates an error.
