4.2 PA systems
PA is short for "public address" and includes all applications
that involve a larger audience. This example uses a mixing
console as its central unit for system operation and connections.
All microphones, feeding and effects devices, etc. are connected
to the mixing console, which is then linked to the B1520DSP.

Connecting a mixing console:
= Turn the LEVEL controls ( 3 ) fully to the left.
= Connect the left output of the mixing console to the MIC/

Instead of a mixing console, you can also connect a stereo signal
source, e.g. a CD player. In this case, one B1520DSP is
connected to each of the outputs of the signal source.

Linking several B1520DSP:
If you need more sound pressure, for example in larger rooms,
simply increase the number of loudspeakers on each stereo
side. You could place two B1520DSP on each stereo side and
interconnect them (see Fig. 4.3). The loudspeakers can be
stacked or placed one beside the other. When you stack the
speakers, the carrying recesses built into the cabinets ensure
the stability of the stack. You can connect a microphone, a mixing
console or stereo signal source.

+ With several B1520DSP speakers connected to each
other, their input impedance will be reduced by half
(two B1520DSPs), or to one third (three B1520DSPs),
etc. Always use the output impedance of the mixing
console as a basis for your calculations!
