Power On/Off Procedure

Prior to making any connection to the mains power or audio inputs/outputs, turn all level controls
counter clockwise to the “min” position and all tone (equaliser) controls to the mid (zero) point. Deselect
all monitor and zone selection controls.
Switch on the zone amplifier and any audio sources (MP3 players, CD players, Microphones etc) before
powering the systems amplifier ON. The last product to be switched on should be the power/slave
amplifiers to prevent any unwanted noise or potential damage to speakers or amplifiers. If you wish
to power off the system, turn the amplifier’s master volume control counter clockwise to the “min”
position before switching the amplifier OFF before any audio sources are switched off. By following this
procedure it will prevent acoustic shocks to the speakers or potential damage to system components.
After connecting all audio sources and powering on the system, adjust the level of each audio input,
select the zone routing in order to achieve the desired “mix” for each zone. Care should be taken
to when adjusting microphone input volumes and the master volume, adjust both of these in small
increment’s to avoid feedback (howl around). The goal is to achieve a clear balance between music and
voice ensuring announcements can be clearly heard.

Priority Inputs

The MA Z6 series features a number of priority inputs, each with their own order in the priority hierarchy.
The MA Z6 series does not feature any defeat functions for the priority circuits.

1st - EMC Alarm

The EMC alarm input will override all other inputs and functions on the amplifier. All six output zones will
be restored to full volume during EMC alarms.

2nd - Telephone / Remote Microphone

Telephone and Remote Microphones override MIC1/MIC2/MIC3/MIC4, Line 1, Line 2 and Chime
functions. All six output zones are outputted at the volume set on the front panel attenuators.

3rd - Built-in Alarm Generator

The built-in alarm generator, when activated will override MIC1/MIC2/MIC3/MIC4, Line 1, Line 2 and
Chime functions. All six output zones are outputted at the volume set on the front panel attenuators.

4th - Built-in Chime Generator

The built-in chime generator, when activated will override MIC1/MIC2/MIC3/MIC4, Line 1 and Line 2

Installation

Rack Installation

The MA Series are fully 19” rack mountable. The rack you use should be a Double Door Rack where you
can open the front and rear panel. When mounting the amplifier into the rack, please make sure that
there is enough space around the amplifier for clear air flow.
Be careful when mounting the amplifier into the rack. Put the heaviest products into the lower part of
the rack. The front panel is not designed to absorb acceleration forces occurring during transportation.

Inputs

Short cables runs improve the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since
high frequencies will mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer
cable may lead to hum or noise problems. If the cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced
cables.

Outputs

The high damping factor of your amplifier supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and
thin cables used for low impedance (4-16Ω) speakers will influence the damping factor and thus the low
frequencies in a negative way. In order to safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie
around 50. The longer a cable has to be the thicker it should be. For longer cable runs please ensure
the 100V outputs are used for 100V speakers.
Connect your speaker systems via the speaker terminals (COM = -VE)
Examples:

1) COM + 4-16Ω

2) COM + 70V

3) COM + 100V

Note: Please do not use more than one pair of output terminals on any one output zone.
