The single area has two fixed mic points,
lectern 1 & 2 and a Radio Mic to allow
the presenter mobility.

RSL-6

Mic 1

Any of the input sources can be selected
and the music level controlled by the RSL-6
at the back of the area.

CD Player 1

The Automatic Source is on line 6 to give
priority over all other inputs.

CD Player 2

Dependent on the size of the area the
MPA60 (60W), MPA120 (120W)
or MPA240 (240W) can be used.
The output can be configured as 100V/70V
or 25V line output (as shown)
or low impedence.

Architect’s and Engineer’s Specification
The mono mixer-amplifier shall be equipped with six unbalanced stereo
music inputs on phono sockets (RCA jacks) and four balanced microphone
inputs on multipin connectors.The music input to be used shall be selectable
by a 6-position front panel rotary switch.The four mic inputs shall be mixed
to a mono signal and summed with a mono (L+R) sum of the selected
music input. Each mic input shall have its own front panel level control.
It shall be possible to control the level of the music source independently
of the mic levels. Each music input and each mic input shall also have a rear
panel gain control. 2-band equalisation adjustment shall be provided
independently for the selected music source and summed mic signals.

A second high-pass filter shall be included to remove LF content below
65Hz (-3dB) from the mixed music and mic signals to minimise transformer
saturation in 100v/70v/25v line systems; this filter shall be internally by-passable.
Two separate internal fixed limiter circuits shall be fitted; these shall be located
at i) the output of the microphone mixer stage and ii) at the input of the
power amplifier stage. Operation of either limiter shall be indicated by a front
panel LED.The mixer-amplifier shall incorporate protection circuitry that
isolates the output i) during power-up, ii) in the event of DC being detected
at the amplifier output, iii) if the internal heatsink temperature exceeds
90C (194F).

A control input shall be provided to activate one mic input (Mic 1)
by external contact closure; it shall be possible to configure the mixer-amplifier
such that this function is overriden and Mic 1 is always active. It shall be
possible to configure the mixer-amplifier to perform the following additional
functions: i) when activated by its control input, Mic 1 will take priority
over any other mic input in use; ii) detection of a signal on any mic input
will automatically reduce the music level by 30dB, iii) one line input will
automatically override all others, even if unselected. Optional remote control
panels shall be available to permit control of music level only or music level
and input selection; it shall be possible to retrofit these to the mixer-amplifier
at any time. An external control input shall be provided to allow muting
of the music source by a fire alarm or other external emergency system.
The mixer-amplifier will include a chime generator circuit triggered
by a signal on Mic 1 input; it shall be possible to internally disable/enable
this function.

The mixer-amplifier shall be available in three models with different output
powers of 240W, 120W or 60W , into a 4 ohm load.The mixer-amplifier
shall be capable of driving either low impedance (4 ohms or higher) loads,
or 100V, 70V or 25V line systems via an internal transformer fitted as
standard. It shall not be possible to use both types of output
simultaneously.
The 100V, 70V and 25V transformer outputs shall be available on separate
rear panel output terminals, shrouded by a screw-attached safety cover.
The mixer-amplifier shall accept internal Bose™ Series IIS plug-in equaliser
cards to permit use with compatible Bose™ loudspeakers.The mixer-amplifier
shall be built in a 2U steel chassis for mounting in a standard 19” rack.
Temperature-controlled forced-air fan cooling with front-to-rear airflow
shall be employed.The amplifier will be fitted with a front-panel power
switch with LED indication.

The microphone mixer stage shall include a high-pass filter to remove
background LF noise below 100Hz (-3dB).

The mixer-amplifier shall be the Cloud MPA240 (240W output),
the Cloud MPA120 (120W output) or the Cloud MPA60 (60W output).
