ITRE ESCRIPTION AND PECIFICATIONS The Mitre range of amplifiers consists of integrated slave and tuner/amplifier models. They are designed to give a high degree of flexibility as well as quality and reliability. Integrated Amplifiers M2000M (Mixer) M2060M (60 Watt), M2120M (120 Watt), M2300M (300 Watt) 1.

SAFETY ’ ’ MPORTANT OTES S AND Ventilation Always ensure adequate ventilation to the amplifier especially the 300 Watt version. Do not obstruct ventilation holes in cover or base. The 300 Watt versions include internal fans that are temperature controlled to prevent overheating, especially if the amplifiers are rack mounted and used for continuous broadcast of music material.

Mitre Slave 120W 300W The Mitre Slave is equipped with two 0dBM balanced line inputs incorporating a priority switching system. The priority is selected using a two-way dual in line switch. Switch ‘1’ when selected ‘on’ provides input 2 muting when 1 is accessed. Switch ‘2’ when selected ‘off’ enables the first input irrespective of access conditions.

ITRE NTEGRATED MPLIFIER EATURES Universal Inputs. Each of the universal inputs has a 6 way DIL switch to select the required facilities as shown below : Note: Each universal input has to be accessed (by linking pins 3 and 4) in order to make the input live. The green LED on the front panel illuminates when an input has been accessed.
Volume Restoration Relay. This relay will energise whenever an input is accessed if the “Vol. Rest / Busy” switch (2) has been selected. The relay contacts can switch either an AC or DC signal providing it does not exceed 100V @ 5A. Here are 3 examples : VOLUME CONTROL...

Alarm Tone Generator. The Alarm Tone Generator is configured when dispatched from the factory to produce a 1 second alternating 500 and 900 Hz Dee-Daa sound. However, it is possible to produce pulsed or continuous single frequency tones which could be used for start and stop work, class change, etc.

ITRE IXER The Mitre Mixer has all of the features of the Mitre Integrated Amplifiers but instead of producing a 100V line output to drive speakers directly, the output is a 0dB balanced line output to drive other amplifiers. The output is presented on two paralleled XLR connectors. - 15 - Issue 2...

Example Installations With Wiring Diagrams. The following drawings show examples of how to connect amplifiers using the numerous facilities included in them. NB. As supplied from the factory a jumper lead is included on the rear of the M2300. This lead energises the four output relays and enables the user to connect to any of the four zoned outputs.
600W S BTAINING A INGLE OUDSPEAKER UTPUT FIGURE 7 (Page 24) - 1 Zone of 600W Using 2 Slave Amplifiers Shows how two 300W slaves may be configured to produce 600 Watts into a single load. We do not recommend paralleled outputs because both amplifiers would have to possess identical gain and phase throughout the audio frequency range.
