take priority over the channels CH5 and CH6
but will be interrupted by announcements
that are made via the zone paging micro-
phones PA-4000RC or the desktop micro-
phone PA-4000PTT .
For input signals requiring the highest
priority, use the input PAGING (26) with
plug-in screw terminals (e . g . for a micro-
phone with preamplifier or for the line level
output of a telephone system) .
2) Connect units with a stereo output (e . g . CD
player) to the RCA jacks (18) of the input
CH5 or CH6 . In the PA-6040MPX, the two
stereo channels are mixed to a mono signal .
These inputs have the lowest priority and
will automatically be muted by a signal at
an input of higher priority (
in chapter 3) .

5.3 Direct inputs

When a signal with line level is to be heard in
one zone only, connect the signal source to the
jack LOCAL INPUT of the zone desired . The jacks
are designed for balanced signals . Audio sources
with unbalanced signals can be connected via
2-pole 6 .3 mm plugs . The control LEVEL of the
zone will have no effect on the volume of this
input signal; the volume must be adjusted via
the output level of the signal source .
5.3.1 Setting the priority for the direct inputs
Jumpers are used to define for each direct input
if its signal shall take priority over other signals or
not ( ☞ table fig . 5 in chapter 3: LOCAL INPUT
PRIORITY/ SLAVE) .
WARNING The mixer must be opened for
this operation; therefore, it must
be performed by skilled person-
nel only! Prior to opening the
mixer, disconnect the mains plug from the
socket; otherwise, there will be risk of electric
shock!
1) Remove the housing cover from the mixer .
2) The jumpers are located on the front circuit
board behind the controls for the inputs CH1
to CH4:
⑥ Selecting the priority of a direct input
Rearrange the respective jumpers as required .
3) Close the housing again .

5.4 Desktop microphone PA-4000PTT

With this desktop microphone (separate acces-
sory), announcements of the highest priority
can be made . The PA zones where the an-
nouncements are to be heard are selected at the
PA-6040MPX .
Connect the PA-4000PTT to the RJ45 jack
"PA-4000PTT" (24) by means of the cable sup-
plied, for example . The length of the connection
line must not exceed 30 m .

5.5 Zone paging microphone
PA-4000RC
With this zone paging microphone (separate
accessory), announcements of high priority can
be made . The PA zone where the announce-
ments are to be heard can be selected at the
respective PA-4000RC . Up to 32 PA-4000RC can
be connected to a single PA-6040MPX .
5.5.1 Installing the connection module
First, install the connection module supplied with
the PA-4000RC in the mixer . Figure 2 shows the
mixer with the module installed . The connec-
tion module is equipped with two RJ45 jacks
(27); a PA-4000RC can be connected to each of
these jacks . An additional zone paging micro-
phone can be connected to each zone paging
☞ table fig . 5
microphone until a maximum of 32 zone page
microphones and the mixer are connected with
each other .
1) Screw off the two screws of the cover plate
(located to the right on the rear side of the
mixer) and remove the plate .
2) If only jack INPUT 1 of the two connection
jacks (27) is used, rearrange the jumper on
the circuit board of the connection module
to the position ON for a correct line termi-
nation; when both jacks are used, rearrange
the jumper to the position OFF:

3) Slide the module into the opening on the
rear side of the mixer, making sure that the
connector on the module fits into the socket
of the mixer . Fasten the module with the two
screws .
5.5.2 Connecting zone paging microphones
1) Connect a jack of the connection mod-
High priority
ule to the RJ45 jack LINK (45) of the (first)
(PRIORITY)
PA-4000RC by means of the cable sup-
plied, for example . If required, connect the
jack INPUT (46) to the jack LINK of another
Low priority
PA-4000RC etc . until all units are connected
(SLAVE)
in a chain . The total line length must not
exceed 1000 m .
2) To prevent interference in signal transmission,
make sure that the line is correctly termi-
nated: At the final unit in the chain (or at
the final two units if INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 at
the module are used), set the switch TERMI-
NATION of the DIP switch block (38) to the
lower position (ON) . At all other units, the
switch must remain in the upper position .
3) The power supply via the PA-6040MPX will
not suffice when the total line length exceeds
500 m (for each input at the connection
module) or when more than 10 PA-4000RC
are connected . In this case, connect an ad-
ditional power supply unit with ⎓ 24 V to
the 11th PA-4000RC or to the zone paging
microphone with a connection line length of
more than 500 m to the PA-6040MPX .
Connect the power supply unit to the
jack ⎓ 24 V (37) . The required dimensions
of the low-voltage plug are 5 .5 / 2 .1 mm
(exterior / interior diameter) . The polarity is
as desired .
The supply voltage will be routed to the
zone paging microphones that are connected
to the jack INPUT (46) . Thus, these zone pag-
ing microphones do not require a power
supply unit of their own if the power supply
unit connected to the jack ⎓ 24 V provides
sufficient current (current consumption of
each PA-4000RC: 63 mA) .
5.5.3 Address assignment
To enable communication between the mixer
and the zone paging microphones, the PA-
4000RC connected must have different data bus
addresses . To assign the addresses, use the first 5
switches of the DIP switch block (38) located on
the rear side of the zone paging microphones .
Set the addresses continuously according to the
table in figure 8 .
Note: Always switch off the mixer prior to address
assignment; any address changes made during op-
eration will not be recognised .

5.6 Recorder, monitoring system

A recorder or another audio unit with line input
(e . g . a monitoring system for checking the out-
puts) can be connected to the RCA jacks REC
(19) or to the 6 .3 mm jack MONITOR (20) . LEFT
and RIGHT RCA jacks are provided for stereo
recorders . The mixer is monophonic; therefore,
the signals at the two jacks are identical .
The setting of the selector switch REC /
MONITOR (5) located on the front side of the
unit will determine the output signal for this
output .
