AMIS MP8 INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL PAGE 7
OPERATION
The SIGNAL PRESENT LED’s 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.
A 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.
