  • Page 2: Cautions

    To avoid damage to the amplifier mounting ears and/or rack rails, the amplifier must be supported at all four corners when used in portable racks. Consult JBL Service Dept for availability of Rear Support Brackets. Lifting Precautions In order to safely move or install the amplifier, it is recommended that two persons share the weight when lifting and positioning the unit.

  • Page 4: Unit Description

    Semi-toroidal power trans- formers (one per channel in the MPA750 and MPA1100) are mounted in each front corner, as close as possible to the rack ears and rails. The rear panels are 16.9 inches behind the front mounting plane, so an extra rack depth allowance (i.e., more than...

  • Page 6: Installation

    Input sensitivity is 1 Vrms, and impedance is 20 kilohm balanced, 10 kilohm unbalanced, as is typical of JBL amplifiers. The input jacks are located on a removable panel which has a toggle switch for (1) bridged-mono (2) normal stereo, or (3) paralleling the inputs. See page 2 for more information about the Open Input Architecture slots.

  • Page 7: Input Connections

    Input Connections To connect an unbalanced source to the input of an MPA amplifier, “+” should be connected to pin 2, and “-” to pin 3 The “-” terminal should also be connected to the shield at the source only. Pin 1 should not be connected at the amplifier. In a portable system using a source unit with balanced outputs, a standard XLR cable wired pin to pin (with pin 1 connected to the shield at both ends) should be used.

  • Page 15: Maximum Long-Term Output Power

    The essence of high-efficiency, lighter-weight designs is to control more power with fewer or smaller load-bearing components. The MPA275, MPA400, MPA600, MPA750 and MPA1100 represent a considerable step forward, with high efficiency due to the multi-step power supplies. Because of the higher power flow, effective protection circuits become even more important.
  • Page 16 Operation extended somewhat, and the turn-off muting has been quickened, to ensure muting even of poorly designed preceding components. On/off muting is equally effective whether the amplifier is turned off with its own switch or with a remote switch. which starts at a high resistance and then diminishes after turn-on to avoid loss of power.

    (3) there is an open circuit in the internal output wiring of the amplifier. (Consult a JBL dealer for service.) If there is no LEVEL (SIGNAL PRESENT, -20dB, -30dB) or CLIP displays, (1) there is no input signal, or (2) the ribbon cable to the input module may not be seated well.
  • Page 21 Troubleshooting Overheating: If ventilation is blocked, or if the amplifier is overdriven into low impedance loads, it can overheat. The thermal protection system’s normal response to rising temperatures is as follows: 25–50° C: Fan runs on low speed. 50–60° C: Fan Speed rises gradually from slow to full.
