ticonductor cables (such as Belden

®

1502 or equivalent)

allows a single cable to carry both audio and DC power from
the MPS-488HP to the loudspeakers. Longer cable lengths
are possible for moderate applications that don't drive the
loudspeakers to maximum output, as well as for installations
with heavier wire gauges.

The MPS-488HP front panel has two LEDs per Channel Out-
put that provide useful feedback on the status of the sys-
tem. The Voltage LEDs indicate when voltage is present for
each Channel Output. The Load Current LEDs indicate when
a loudspeaker is connected to a Channel Output, glow
brighter as the signal level increases, and flash when a short
circuit is encountered.

NOTE:

The MPS-488HP external power supply

replaces the MPS-488 model, which was origi-

nally designed for use with MM-4XP loudspeakers.
The MPS-488 is also compatible with the UP-4XP,
HMS-10, and MM-10XP, but can only power a maxi-
mum of four of these loudspeakers; when powering
these loudspeakers with the MPS-488, they should
only be connected to Channel Outputs 1, 3, 5, and 7
(do not use the even-numbered Channel Outputs).
