Determining the Control Voltage
The MLA-VC10 drives the amplifier's or mixer's remote control
port. Different models of amplifier or mixer may require a
different voltage to control the audio volume. You need to know
the specific voltage requirements of your equipment before you
can configure the MLA-VC10 to control it.
Sometimes the equipment's manual lists the required voltage,
but usually you will have to test the voltage yourself, using a
voltmeter. This section describes how to measure the control
voltage for some widely used amplifiers.
Most amplifiers come in one of two basic configurations:
two-terminal (control and ground)
three-terminal (reference, control, and ground)
N
The MLA-VC10 works with a wide range of amplifiers.
The models shown in this section are included as
examples only. The MLA-VC10 is not limited to
working with only the amplifiers shown in this manual.
The next two pages show how to measure control voltages
on "typical" amplifers: the Peavey UMA 35T II (page 2-4) and
Biamp Precedence CMA 60 (page 2-5).
Following that, two special case amplifiers are described: the
TOA 700 series (page 2-6) and 900 series (page 2-7).
