*Selective paging without any background music in any zone is possible using the MA246(R)(MR)
only, however, in this case, you will have to turn the zone 2 to 6 front volume control to the off
position. In case a zone is being paged, the MA246(R)(MR) will bypass the volume control, causing
the paging message to be heard in the selected zone(s).
If you want background music and selective paging without music interruption in the non paged
zones, please use an external paging amp (PA240P, PA2240P…).
From the factory, there is no wire bridge as shown in the picture. That's because we want to
encourage you to use the MA246 as a switching centre in high quality background music and
paging systems where all zones are individually pageable without interrupting the music in the non
paged zones. Most mixing amps from other brands don't offer you this luxury!
wire bridge in case of standalone use.
