Chapter 2 Front & rear panel Front panel overview Front panel description The front panel for both COM12 and COM24 amplifiers is identical and enables you to control the level for every input and the overal output volume. A two band tone control is provided for the main output, allowing adjustment of the overal system frequency response while zone (output) switches allows enabling / disabling of the different speaker zone outputs.
Zone 1-5 (output) switches: The different connected loudspeaker lines (1-5) can be switched on and off by pressing the switches with the corresponding numbers. When the ‘All’ switch is pressed, all loudspeaker outputs will be enabled. Rear panel overview Rear panel description The rear panel for both COM12 and COM24 is identical and contains all connection and configuration controls.

Balanced line / mic inputs 1 & 2 (combination 6.3 mm jack & XLR): Channels 1 and 2 are implemented using combination connectors accepting both XLR and 6.3 mm jack plugs. The gain for these inputs is adjustable within a range of -6 dB and -50 dB which can accept either microphone or line level signals.
Chapter 3 Setting up the system ATTENTION Make sure the power of the device is turned OFF before any connections or wiring adjustments are made. Disregarding this rule can lead to permanent damage of the equipment. 1) Connecting the loudspeakers The loudspeakers should be connected to the euro terminal block connectors on the back panel of the device.

Example diagram constant voltage connections The constant voltage output is standard set to 100 Volts, but can be adjusted to 70 Volts or 25 Volts depending of the country requirements. These adjustments can be made through re-plugging internal transformer wires on the output selection PCB (including the zone selection switches) on front of the amplifier.
2) Connecting the audio sources The next step is making the signal input connections. Depending of the type, connection and output level of the available audio sources they should be plugged into the matching channel / connection. Before connecting, turn all the channel input and master colume controls on the front panel of the amplifier fully counterclockwise (to their minimum setting) and put the gain control trimmers on the rear panel in a central position.
5) Using the priority mute contact A priority mute contact connection is implemented along the tele-paging input. This input allows complete muting of background music at presence of a contact closure between both terminals. It has the same priority level as the tele-paging input, meaning that all inputs except tele paging and chime will be muted.
