Turn On Selector Switch
This switch allows you to select how the
amplier will turn on and o.
In the ON (Up) position, the switch on the
front of the amplier is the method you
will use to power up and power down the
amplier. Please note that in this congu-
ration, you must manually power up and
power down the amplier each time you
use it or it will have unnecessary standby
current draw.
In the SIGNAL (Middle) position, the am-
plier automatically turns on whenever it
senses an audio signal on any one of the
seven amplier channels. The circuit stays
active for a full minute after the absence of
any audio signal to account for quiet pas-
sages of music or dialogue.
In the TRIGGER (Down) position, the ampli-
er’s ON and OFF functions are controlled
by a trigger from a source or preamplier
device. The trigger accepts 12 VDC and will
turn the amplier on whenever a trigger is
present (See #5). When there is no trigger,
the amplier goes into standby mode. This
is the preferred method for activating the
MPS-1.
External Trigger Connection
This external trigger connection allows
the amplier to be turned ON and OFF by
a control device such as a source unit or
preamplier. It can also be used with most
home automation controllers. The trigger
requires a 12 VDC trigger. This is the pre-
ferred method of activating the MPS-1. See
page 23 for connection details.
Fuse #1
This fuse is for the power supply of the MPS-
1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated a 15A, 250
V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure to replace it
with the same type and rated fuse.
Fuse #2
This fuse is also for the power supply of
the MPS-1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated
a 15A, 250 V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure
to replace it with the same type and rated
fuse.
IEC Line Cord Socket
The MPS-1 comes with a detachable line
cord which connects here. Plug the line
cord into an AC wall socket which is cor-
rectly configured with the voltage and
current supply specied for the MPS-1. Do
not plug this line cord into a power strip,
it must plug directly into a wall socket. For
more details on AC power considerations,
see page 19.
