4.3 Connection for
emergency announcements
For emergency announcements or other impor-
tant announcements, the PA-4040MPX is
equipped with the input TEL. PAGING (17).
Input and switch for emer-
gency announcements
Feed the signal (line level, 40 mV – 1.5 V) via a
screened audio cable to the terminal “R”. Con-
nect the ground and screening to the terminal
“G”. Connect a switch to the terminals “T” and
“G”. The switch allows to release the announce-
ment, i. e. the announcement signal may always
be present at the terminal “R” but it can only be
heard with the switch closed.
Set the DIP switches ZONE (18) of the
zones to the lower position ON to hear the emer-
gency announcements in these zones. The vol-
ume for these announcements is separately
adjusted with the control VOLUME (19) on the
rear side.
4.4 Switch for muting
the inputs CH 2 to CH 5
The inputs CH 2 to CH 5 can be muted together
with a single switch, e. g. for making an important
announcement via the input CH 1. For this pur-
pose connect a switch to the terminals PRIOR-
ITY (16).
4.5 Power amplifiers for the speakers
Connect the power amplifiers for the speakers in
the different PA zones to the balanced outputs
LINE OUT (26). If the input of the amplifier to be
connected is unbalanced, only connect the input
to the terminals “+” (signal) and “G” (ground).
When connecting, the terminals can be
removed from their plug-in connections for eas-
ier handling.
4.6 Monitoring speaker
and headphones
To be able to monitor the signals of the PA
zones, it is possible to connect an 8 Ω speaker to
the terminals MONITOR OUT (15) and head-
phones to the jack PHONES (9).
4.7 Line output for another amplifier
or a recorder
For connecting another amplifier or a recorder,
the line output MIX OUT (14) is provided. Here
the signal of the PA zone is present whose but-
ton MON (12) is pressed. If several zones are
selected at the same time, the corresponding
zone controls LEVEL (13) define the mixing ratio
of the zone signals. Use this output:
1. To connect an amplifier if e. g. several moni-
toring speakers are required.
2. To connect a recorder for recording the sig-
nals of a zone or several zones.
4.8 Power supply
Finally connect the supplied mains cable to the
mains jack (22) first and then to a socket
(230 V~ / 50 Hz).
For continuous operation of the mixer in
case of mains failure connect a 24 V emergency
power supply unit (e. g. PA-24ESP from
MONACOR) to the screw terminals 24 V (23).
Note: If the 24 V voltage from the emergency power
supply unit is present at the screw terminals 24 V , the
mixer cannot be switched off with the POWER switch
(5). In case of mains failure or switched-off condition it
is automatically switched to emergency power supply.
5 Operation
1) Prior to switching on the mixer for the first
time, set the four zone controls LEVEL (13) to
zero to prevent an excessive volume at the
beginning. Then switch on the unit with the
POWER switch (5). The POWER indication
(4) lights up.
2) For a basic setting of the input channels
a) turn all controls GAIN (2), TREBLE and
BASS (1) to mid-position,
b) turn all controls LEVEL (6) to zero,
c) disengage all buttons ZONE SELECTOR
Z 1 to Z 4 (7).
3) Turn up the control LEVEL (6) of the input
which is to be heard at highest volume (e. g.
for announcements) to approx.
2
⁄3 . With the
buttons ZONE SELECTOR (7) switch the
input signal to the zones where it should be
heard.
4) Switch on the power amplifiers for the speak-
ers and adjust the desired volume for each
zone with the zone controls LEVEL (13). The
level indications (11) show the signals of the
outputs LINE OUT (26) for each zone. The
top red LED should light up with passages of
highest volume for a short time only. If it lights
up for a longer time, turn back the correspon-
ding zone control LEVEL.
If the volume of the zones cannot be
adjusted in an optimum way because the
input signal is too low or too high, readjust the
input level with the corresponding control
GAIN (2) or LEVEL (6).
5) Adjust the sound with the corresponding con-
trols TREBLE and BASS (1). If required, re -
adjust the volume with the control LEVEL (6).
6) For feeding further input signals to the zones,
press the corresponding buttons ZONE
SELECTOR (7). These buttons allow to con-
figure the zones differently. Example:
– The announcements of input CH 1 should
be heard in all zones.
Press the buttons Z 1 to Z 4 of CH 1.
– The announcements of input CH 2 are
determined for zones 1 and 4 only.
Press the buttons Z 1 and Z 4 of CH 2.
– The background music of CH 4 should be
heard in zones 1 and 2.
Press the buttons Z 1 and Z 2 of CH 4.
– The background music of CH 5 should be
heard in zones 3 and 4.
Press the buttons Z 3 and Z 4 of CH 5.
7) Adjust the volume and the sound of further
input signals with the controls LEVEL (6),
TREBLE and BASS (1). Turn to zero the con-
trols LEVEL of the inputs not used.
5.1 Muting the inputs CH 2 to CH 5
for an announcement
If a switch is connected to the terminals PRIOR-
ITY (16), the inputs CH 2 to CH 5 can be muted
at the same time by closing the switch. Thus,
e. g. an important announcement can be heard
via the input CH 1 without being interfered with
other input signals.
5.2 Monitoring the zone signals
Press down the button MON (12) of the PA zone
whose signal is to be monitored. Adjust the vol-
ume for the monitoring speaker connected to the
terminals MONITOR (15) with the control MONI-
TOR (10) and the volume for the headphones
with the control PHONES (8). The level indica-
tion (3) shows the signal for the monitoring
speaker.
Notes:
1. The volume for the headphones and the monitoring
speaker also depends on the zone controls LEVEL
(13). If a control is set to zero, the signal of the corre-
sponding zone cannot be monitored in spite of button
MON pressed.
2. With the buttons MON also the zone signals are
switched to the output MIX OUT (14) – see chap-
ter 4.7.
