You can also use a MPAGE4 console (optional) and, simultaneously, leave some zones
permanently selected as paging destination with front panel ZONE switch. These zones (permanently
selected) always receive voice messages sent from MPAGE4 unit, regardless of whether they are
selected or not by their keys.
If you want to work in Priority mode with activation by external contact closure, connect this external
contact to PRIO terminals on the back panel. Please also refer to section 9. CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM
for information about internal jumpers’ set-up associated to this mode.
NOTE: remember that in the other operating mode for input # 5 (Evacuation / Emergency), the
ZONE paging selector and zones selected in a MPAGE4 unit are disabled, since in this mode program
signal is always muted in ALL zone outputs of this unit and replaced by input #5 signal.
6.4. Equalization
Tone controls (7-8) provide a gain/attenuation of ±15 dB for each one of the BASS and TREBLE
bands. Because of the intended applications of this unit, it has a tone control system adjustable by
screwdriver, thus preventing unauthorised or unintentional use during its normal operation.
6.5. Output volume adjustments
Output volume can be adjusted for each zone by two controls:
 The VOL rotary knob on the front panel (one per output zone) when the associated
REM/LOC switch is in LOCal position (released)
 The LEVEL rotary knob on the remote wall panel (if installed) when the associated
REM/LOC switch is in REMote position (engaged)
The active source can be selected for each zone by two controls:
 The SOURCE rotary selector on the front panel (one per output zone) to select one
equipment input (1 to 4) or none (OFF)
 The INPUT rotary selector on the wall remote panel (if installed) when the front panel
associated rotary selector (SOURCE) is on REMote position. Available options are also
input sources 1 to 4, or none (OFF)
Finally, with Input #5 in Evacuation/Emergency mode, back panel EVAC terminals are
momentarily shorted while an evacuation message is sent to Input 5 and its volume is adjusted with the
VOL rotary knob located next to these terminals.
ATTENTION: use special care when setting the general output level for each zone, so that CLIP
indicators never remain permanently lit (saturation or clipping), neither MIMO54 zone outputs nor power
stages to which it is connected, but only (and at the most) at the rhythm of low frequencies in the sound
sequence. Otherwise the signal feeding the power stages would suffer high distortion levels and have
low acoustic quality and intelligibility.
6.6. Wall remote control connection and MPAGE4 console
The wall remote controls are connected to MIMO54 by means of a standard CAT5 cable
terminated on both ends with RJ-45 connectors: insert one of them in a REMOTE port on the back panel
(ZONE 1, ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 4) and the other in the RJ-45 port of the remote control.
