System Wiring

The MLA is designed to be used in arrays and as part of a complete U-Net system. The diagram below shows a typical U-Net
system including left and right MLA and MLX Sub arrays, Merlin processors and PC's connected to the Merlin via both Ethernet
and wirelessly using off the shelf wireless routers.
For more details of the MLX, Merlin and System Software please see the relevant User Guides
A Typical MLA System set-up
All cables required to rig the system are supplied leaving only the mains input and audio feeds to be run from the remainder of
the system.
Mains to the system will be via 32 amp three phase Ceeform connectors for territories with high mains voltages. For lower mains
voltages the mains distro has Cam-lock style inlets
Audio into the system can be either standard analogue balanced signals or AES/EBU digital.

Mains

Mains is connected to the system via the Master & Slave Racks. The minimum configuration is a single Master Rack or even Slave
Rack, the maximum with a standard Master Rack is one Master and 5 slaves but as the slave racks all interconnect via Ethernet
it is easy to expand this as required by using standard off the shelf Ethernet Switches.
For High Voltage Mains territories the inlet is via a 32 amp three-phase Ceeform to each mains distro, each rack has a single
distro as standard with space for a second. Each distro requires an individual Ceeform connection. For Low Mains Voltage
territories the inlet is via individual three Phase Cam-Lok connectors. Mains outlets from the distros are via 19-Pin Tourmate
