4 Connecting the Unit

Switch off the MPA-202 and the units to be con-
nected before the connections are made or
changed.
Hints
1. The XLR inputs and outputs should be con-
nected in a balanced way because this way
interference (caused by a long cable) can
better be suppressed than with unbalanced
connection.
2. With unbalanced connection, the contacts 1
(ground) and 3 (negative signal) of the XLR
plugs should be short-circuited. By the ser-
vobal anced circuit the 6 dB level loss will
then automatically be equalized which oth-
erwise occurs with unbalanced connection.
Connection
1) Connect the microphones to the inputs BAL.
INPUT (10). The XLR jacks have a latching.
To pull out a plug, press the PUSH lever.
2) Connect the line inputs of the subsequent
unit (e. g. amplifier, mixer) to the XLR out-
puts (12) and / or the phono inputs (11).
3) Finally connect the low voltage plug of the
supplied plug-in transformer to the jack
"15 V~" (7) and the transformer to a socket
(230 V~ / 50 Hz).

5 Operation

1) When using phantom-powered microphones,
the phantom power (+12 V) must be switched
on. For this purpose press down the button
PHANTOM (9).
Attention!
If the phantom power is switched on, no
microphones with unbalanced output must
be connected as they may be damaged.
2) Do not switch on the unit with the POWER
switch (8) before activating the phantom
power. The green LED ON (6) lights up.
Then switch on the following unit.
3) With the rotary switch GAIN (5) adapt the
amplification of the microphone signal to the
required input level of the following unit. For
fine adjustment actuate the control FINE
TUNE (2). The LED PK (4) for peak value in-
dication must shortly light up with music
