1. INTRODUCTION The Australian Monitor Installation Series MP8 is a 2 RU monitoring panel that allows you to monitor any of up to 8, constant voltage or low impedance speaker lines. This can be done via the on-board 2.5" monitor speaker or via the 8 segment VU meter. The MP8 also provides signal present LED’s for each amplifier as well as LED’s to indicate which amplifier is currently selected for monitoring. The MP8 operates from either an AC/DC 12V-24V plug pack or via 24 VDC & boasts ample label space.
