To remotely trigger ALL CALL on MA2000 series mixer amps
from another device we can externally install a pair of diodes to
the AC ( ALL CALL ) and PR ( PRIORITY ) ports of the mixer
amp. The diodes are then connected to the dry contact of an
external device. In the left figure, the diodes are linked to
RELAY CONTACT of an Emergency Paging Panel, EP1200.
When the EP1200 siren / message trigger is activated, it will
activate ALL CALL on the mixer amp.

Connecting BGM Sources
Use the right connector for the appropriate
BGM source. At any one time, only one jack
shall be connected to the inputs of the
same channel to avoid interference. Also,
please switch to the right input level
position for the correspondence input
source.
Very often BGM source shall have stereo
outputs whereas the mixer amp has only
mono input. Therefore, use either one
output of the BGM source to connect to the
input. To obtain better result of music
stereo effect, use a combiner jack (stereo
to mono) before inserting to the mixer
amplifier.
Switch to the appropriate
input level attenuator. ie.
LINE for BGM source.
