    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Important Safety Instructions The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage “ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
  • Page 4 ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual WARNING - When The Device Is In Use • WARNING: The terminals marked with symbol of may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the used of ready-made leads or cords.

  • Page 5: Introduction

    The compact ASP-MG2240 can deliver quality audio in a single masking zone up to 7000 sq. ft. or can be spilt into two 3500 sq. ft. zones. This compact integrated solution features two internal 30-watt amplifier channels including internal DSP with intuitive control software. The software makes setup fast because preset configurations are preloaded and can be selected and modified for customization.

  • Page 6: Key Features

    Applications The ASP-MG2240 is suited for applications requiring a secured speech environment, paging or background music (BGM) audio. The ASP-MG2240 is designed to provide detailed masking privacy for a wide range of acoustical environments including open office areas, conference rooms, huddle/ meeting rooms, as well as delivering non-masking content to areas where needed.

  • Page 13: Overview Of The Gui

    2. Active Project File This box indicates the Project file that is currently loaded and active. The ASP-MG2240 has preconfigured files that are called Projects stored in the device. Out of the box the project that is active is called “Factory Default File” . There are other files preloaded that are designed to work with most masking applications.

  • Page 14: Saving And Recalling Projects From The Asp-Mg2240

    Click the Save / Recall tab, select “Save File to MG2240” , select the Project location, and type in a new name or leave the default. Note: If saving the project file to the ASP-MG2240 (also known as “Device Storing” the file), the current project file in that location will be overwritten.
  • Page 15 Recalling a Project File from the ASP-MG2240 Click on the Save / Recall tab, select “File Recall From MG2240” , and Select the Project from the list wanted to recall or load into the ASP-MG2240. This is also known as “Device Recall” . Make sure the new project file name is listed in the “Active Project File” box to confirm the chosen project file was loaded properly.

  • Page 16: Saving And Recalling Projects From A Pc

    Saving and Recalling Projects with a PC Backing up custom Project files to a PC in case of a failure is strongly recommended. The ASP-MG2240 has preconfigured files that are called Projects stored in the device. In case these files do not fit the installation needs, AtlasIED offers a variety of preconfigured project files on our web site that can be uploaded to the ASP-MG2240.
  • Page 17 Recalling a Project File from a PC A quick way to program the ASP-MG2240 is by using a preconfigured custom project file that meets or is close to the installation design. Note: AtlasIED offers a variety of preconfigured project files on the web that can be uploaded to the ASP-MG2240. Also available are project application guides on how to set up a system.

  • Page 18: Settings Menu

    When selecting this tab, a drop-down menu will appear with the following options: “Reset To Default” , ‘Change Password” , “Master Login” , and “About” . • Reset To Default - When selected the ASP-MG2240 will automatically load the Project file called “Factory Default File” .

  • Page 19: Mixer Levels Gui Page

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Mixer Levels Page This page is a quick access to all the Input and Output levels. Note: All faders have the same corresponding name no matter what page they are in. Example: The AUX settings page faders, AUX A or B level, are the same fader as the AUX A and B level faders in the mixer page.

  • Page 20: Mic / Line Settings Gui Page

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Mic / Line Settings Page This page allows you to adjust the parameters of the Microphone (Mic) or Line input. Select between Mic or Line input modes in this screen. Note: The GUI Level faders are POST (after) the rear panel Mic / Line Level control. All faders that have the corresponding name are the same no matter the page they are in.

  • Page 21: Aux Settings Gui Page

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual AUX Settings Page This page allows for adjustment of the parameters for the Auxiliary (AUX) stereo summed input. Note: The GUI level faders are POST (after) the rear panel AUX level control. All faders that have the corresponding name are the same no matter the page they are in.

  • Page 22: Masking A And B Gui Page

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Masking A and B Page Both Masking A and B pages operate independently of each other but the features and functionality are the same. Note: All faders that have the corresponding name are the same no matter the page they are in.

  • Page 23: Day Masking Scheduler & System Commissioning Ramp Page

    1. Current Time This window reflects the real time internal clock setting of the ASP-MG2240. This time is not related to the computer time. If the time or day of the week is not correct, you will need to update the day and time. Note: Out of the box the time is not set, so this window will be blank. The clock does not adjust to Daylight Savings Time.
  • Page 24 0dB, it is the same level as the Masking Level A or B’s current fader setting. If the Masking A Level is set to -10dB and the Ramp is set to 0dB the Masking A output level will be -10dB from its maximum ASP-MG2240 level. Example: If Masking A Level is set to -10dB and the Ramp 1 time is scheduled and the Ramp dB level is programmed to -15dB, when the clock reaches the programmed Ramp day and time the Masking A output level will be -25dB down from the ASP-MG2240 maximum output level.

  • Page 25: Privacy Enhancement Example

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual 9. System Commissioning Ramp “SCR” When selecting this tab, a pop up window will appear allowing for a selection of days when ramping will occur. The user can enter from 1 to 14 days. Each day represents 1dB of change. The On/Off will activate the SCR ramp. The Schedule A or B indicator will blink on the Mixer and Masking pages indicating the SCR is active.
  • Page 26 ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Privacy Level Fader This fader is not active regardless of the position of the fader until the Privacy Enhancement ports “G” and “Engage” are shorted together. The Privacy Enhancement Level fader is “relative” to the Masking A or B Level fader feeding the associated Master Amp A or B level fader. The Privacy level is adjustable (+) or (-) 12dB.
  • Page 27 = +6dB, 24 / Scheduler = 0dB and Master Amp B output level fader = 0dB equating to be -4dB of the maximum amplifiers 20w output. The Privacy level is +6dB relative to the Masking B Level. Refer to the flow chart of the ASP-MG2240 for a detailed view of the signal chain.

  • Page 28: Using The Push Here Diagnostic Feature

    Using the Push Here Diagnostic Feature The ASP-MG2240 features a patent pending amplifier self-diagnostic system. The PHD (Push Here Diagnostic) is simple to use and is very effective in running a system diagnostic test to ensure the amplifier has the proper load applied. An incorrect load applied to the amplifier can be a common cause of system failure, especially when using 70.7V loudspeaker systems.
  • Page 29 Running a Self-Diagnostic Test Using the PHD Feature 1. Install the ASP-MG2240 masking amplifier, connect the input signals. Turn all levels to minimum. 2. Install the loudspeaker system per the design, double-checking loudspeaker tap settings as they are installed. The total power for all the loudspeakers should NOT exceed the maximum power rating of the amplifier installed.

  • Page 30: How To Troubleshoot Your Loudspeaker System If The Phd Led Is Illuminating

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual How To Troubleshoot Your Loudspeaker System If The Limit LED Is Illuminating The PHD LED should never be constantly illuminated or damage may occur to the amplifier or sound system. If the PHD LED comes on steadily during use or during the PHD test there are a few common fault conditions to check if using a 70.7V distributed audio system.
  • Page 31 ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual B. Check each loudspeaker to be sure the load tap is set to the correct power setting. The total power tap selected of all the loudspeakers combined should not exceed the amplifier’s maximum power rating or a fault will occur.
