PAGE 7AMIS MP8 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

The SIGNAL PRESENT LEDs give a continuous indication of the signal from

each of the eight connected ampliﬁers. Note that very low levels may not be

detected.

To monitor a particular ampliﬁer, SELECT the desired ampliﬁer. The listening

level may be adjusted using the MONITOR SPEAKER VOLUME. The PROGRAM

LEVEL meter gives accurate indication of signal from the selected ampliﬁer.

NOTE About Monitoring: It should be noted that adjusting the monitor

speaker level control does not effect the sound level in the selected zone

and nor do the level indications indicate the SPL of the speakers in any zone.

The MP8 should be used to monitor an ampliﬁers output signal quality and

presence only and as such, it does not reﬂect the condition of the actual

sound output in any speaker zone.

Setting The Level

The monitor speaker level has been designed to accept a wide range of

program levels. Distortion may occur in the MP8 if the speaker volume control

is set too high while the ampliﬁer is producing a high output, as indicated by

the program level meter. Check the setting of the level control and reduce

if necessary. If distortion is still present, then check ampliﬁer operation and

affected speaker lines.

Switching The Monitored Zone

It is possible to select 2 ampliﬁers at once and monitor them simultaneously,

however, this is not recommended. Fusible isolation protection exists to protect

both the external ampliﬁers and the MP8.
