To regulate multiple amplifiers with a single volume controller, follow these instructions:

1.

Attach all three pins of the volume controller to the corresponding pins on the first
MPA 152 unit only (ground to ground; Vol/Mute to Vol/Mute; and 10 V to 10 V).

2.

Use jumper wires to connect the Vol/Mute pins of the first amplifier and each successive
amplifier.

3.

Use jumper wires to connect the ground pins of the first amplifier and each successive
amplifier.

Regulating Multiple Amplifiers with a Single Volume Controller

NOTE: The 10V pin of the volume controller connects to the first MPA 152 only.

There are no jumper wires linking it to subsequent amplifiers.

f

Speaker connector — This 4-pole, 5 mm captive screw
connector is used to connect the amplifier to the speakers.
All right channel input signals are summed to produce a
single, right channel output; likewise, all left channel input
signals are summed to produce a single, left channel output
If the front panel switch (see

figure 7

on page 9) is set to stereo, the output will be

stereo; if the front panel switch is set to dual mono, the right and left channels will be
mixed (summed and divided by two) for a dual mono output.
With an 8 ohm load, the amplifier produces up to 8 watts per channel. With a 4 ohm
load, the amplifier produces up to 15 watts per channel.
See the

note

on page 5 for important information about connecting

wires to captive screw connectors.

ATTENTION: Do not short the + and – outputs to each other, as this will damage

the amplifier.
