26. Line 4, 200mV / Mic 4 input. Use only one of these parallel wired inputs at the time! To the XLR3 balanced input
you can connect any microphone using a balanced, two wire shielded cable. (1=earth / 2 =hot / 3=cold). For using
condenser microphones see 41. The Microphone 4 input is a XLR3/combo jack, which will accept a normal XLR3
male plug or a ¼” TRS phone jack.
Line 4 is more sensitive than the other line (music) inputs, therefore ideal to connect wireless microphone receivers.

28. Mic 1 XLR / DIN5 / Euro block. Use only one of these parallel wired balanced inputs at the time! See wiring
diagram at the back. These three inputs have been wired in parallel with the balanced jack input at the front. When
you use the APart MICPAT or MICPACB paging microphones, connected directly to the DIN5 input, the signals fed into
the line inputs are muted automatically while paging. The same kind of connection can be made using the euro block
connector. To use “vox mute” see 29.

29. Vox mutes all. When you activate “vox mute” by turning this trimmer clockwise to the desired threshold level, the
signal of any Mic1 input has priority. When you don't need “vox mute”, turn this trimmer fully counter-clockwise to the
“OFF” position.

“OFF” position.
30. Priority over music contact. By closing the contact of the euro block connector or contacts 4 and 5 of the DIN5
connector, the signal of microphone 1 only has priority over the music sources (TUNER, CD and AUX). All other
microphones will remain active. The contact closure of the contacts mentioned can give priority to the other
microphone inputs as well. At the same time 24 V DC will be available at terminal 20. This is very useful when using
up to 4 microphones in supermarkets, etc…

32. Emergency / telephone input. Here you can feed the audio source for paging emergency messages, etc.. This
input, at line level, has automatic activation above 200mV and has a line transformer to avoid ground loops (useful for
telephone). Please use a balanced, shielded line cable. Connect the HOT signal to +, the COLD to and the shield to
G (when connecting the shield only at the MA200CDR side, you might avoid a ground loop, which creates hum and
buzz). This signal is directly fed into the main amplifier.
No microphones should be connected directly to this input without using a mic to line pre-amplifier.

34. FM antenna. This socket has to be used to connect your 75 ohm FM antenna. You can use the shipped indoor
“wire” antenna, but to improve the reception, we advise to install an outdoor FM antenna or to connect the MA200CDR
to the cable radio network.
Important notice: In case you connect to the cable radio network, we recommend a ground isolator HF transformer in
order to avoid hum (ground loops) or wire only connecting the HOT pin.

36. Airflow output. This airflow output should be kept free at all times! To give the fan a longer life time, he only
starts running when the heatsink reaches a certain temperature.

Now you are ready to get the best result on distributing your music and messages to your audience.
Your little giant is like a Swiss knife which will astonish you and many others!
In fact working with 100V loudspeakers is rather simple, when done in the right way.
Each 100V loudspeaker has a 100V transformer which can be set to a certain power,
for example: 1,5 3 or 6W. As the example shows, the sum of all loudspeaker settings should never
exceed the amplifier's power specifications.
Never use low impedance (= 8 ohm) loudspeakers on a 100Volt system, even not one.

Never use low impedance (= 8 ohm) loudspeakers on a 100Volt system, even not one.
More technically: When your paging amp has a maximum output of 200 watts at 100V,
this means that the minimum impedance connected should be at least 50 ohm (100x100/200).
To check your loudspeaker lines use a decent impedance checker (example AP WM100).
