Integration
A telephone / 100 V emergency input with VOX activation is provided for easy integration with another PA system or a telephone paging system. It has its own preset volume control and overrides all other inputs, including call station and inputs 1 and 2.
The unit also has a line output to add amplifiers for larger systems with more output power. This output can be switched to music only, for example, so that music on hold can be provided for the telephone system.
Power
The mixer amplifiers come in 30 Watt output power. This power is directly available on 100 V constant voltage connections and on a low impedance connection for an 8 ohm load. Moreover, the amplifiers have a separate 100 V call-only output channel for addressing areas where only priority announcements are required. The call-only output can also be used for 3-wire remote, volume control override.
Output status
An LED VU meter monitors the master output. A headphone socket, below the VU meter, provides the mixer output. For total reliability and ease of use, a limiter is integrated into the output stage to restrict output if the user applies too much signal.
