Audio & Network - Martin Audio MLA User Manual

MLA System
USER GUIDE
The MLX has a universal PSU suitable for direct connection to virtually any mains voltage anywhere in the world. It is supplied
fitted with a 16A Ceeform single phase mains inlet. 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 audio and network connection panel is identical to that on the MLA and is located on the rear of the amplifier module
to the right. It 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. For a full description of U-Net LED activity please see the Vu-Net chapter.
