INTRODUCTION

Permanent installations require solutions which offer a visually discrete design that blends into the background while still being flexible and versatile in their functions. You  need to be able to connect different audio sources and manage them, to mute non-priority signals during announcements or emergency calls. With IMA® 30, LD Systems  presents the first model of the new IMA® mixing amplifier-series, which leaves nothing to be desired in terms of design and flexibility.
Seamless integration with IMA® 30 is a sure thing in both industrial and commercial applications thanks to the compact 9.5-inch housing design, an array of connection  possibilities, including Bluetooth for wireless connection of Audio and a multistage priority circuit. IMA® 30 is equipped with four priority levels to manage all connected  audio signals during emergency or priority announcements. An automatic standby mode can also be activated to reduce power consumption during absence of audio signal.
The mixing amplifier features two priority contact closures: one for emergency input to mute both Mic/Line and music sources, and one for Mic/ Line Channels to mute  music sources only. The outputs provide 30 W of power at 4 Ohm, a two-band equalizer for bass and trebles as well as 70 V/100 V tap settings. The Hi-Z and Lo-Z selector  switch lets you separate the output signal completely from the output transformer to ensure an optimal frequency response for low impedance applications. The built-in aux output can be used to add external power amplifiers, active subwoofers or on-hold music systems to the IMA® 30. You can also choose to send the entire mix or only the  selected music signal source to the aux output using the music-mix selector switch.

FEATURES

  • Line input for emergency signal with contact closure
  • 2 microphone/line input sockets with microphone/line switch and switchable 24 V phantom power

CONNECTIONS, OPERATING AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

LD systems LD IMA 30 Mixing Amplifier - DISPLAY
ELEMENTS

  1. POWER SOCKET
    IEC power socket for supplying power to the device. A suitable power cable is included.

  2. FUSE
    Fuse holder for 250 V micro fuses (5 x 20 mm). IMPORTANT: Replace the fuse only with a fuse of the same type. Follow the instructions printed on the housing. In the event of repeated fuse failure, please contact an authorised service centre.

  3. ON/OFF
    Rocker switch for switching the device on and off.

  4. EMERGENCY
    Five-pin terminal block connection for installing an acoustic emergency system. The pins +, – and G form the balanced line in. Pins C and + the connection are for a separate mute switch (terminal block included). The VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) control allows users to set an audio threshold for the emergency input to trigger  an automatic mute circuit. When the emergency input level reaches that threshold, all other microphones and line channels are muted to ensure that the emergency signal can be clearly and distinctly heard The EMERG display field on the front of the device is also lit. As soon as the emergency signal level drops below the defined  threshold, the other channels are unmuted and the EMERG display field turns OFF. When set accordingly, the EMERGENCY channel has the highest priority among  all channels. The emergency signal is sent directly to the internal amplifier and to the loudspeaker output. The master volume control has no influence over the emergency signal. The emergency signal volume is set using the GAIN control. The Emergency contact closure (pins C and +) allows muting of all other input channels,  independently from the VOX setup. If the VOX control is set to minimum (all the way left), the muting feature via the VOX circuit is deactivated and the  EMERGENCY channel can be used as a extra line channel.

  5. MIC/LINE 1
    Microphone/line channel with switchable chime feature. Both the combined XLR/jack combo socket or the terminal block connection can be used as signal input. The pins +, – and G of the terminal block connection form the balanced input. Pins C and + the connection are for an external mute button or switch (terminal block included). If a line signal is present at the combined XLR/jack combo socket or at the terminal block connector, switch the MIC/LINE 1 channel to line sensitivity by depressing the corresponding MIC/LINE switch into the LINE position. If a microphone is attached, set it in the non- depressed MIC position. When using a condenser microphone, also switch the 24 V phantom power on (switch PHANTOM ON/ OFF to the depressed ON position). Ensure that the microphone is already connected and that the channel’s volume is set to minimum before switching the phantom power on. Before disconnecting the microphone, ensure that the phantom power is already switched off and that the channel’s volume is set to minimum. The chime signal’s volume is set using the CHIME control. If the internal chime is triggered, channels MIC/LINE 1, MIC/LINE 2, and MUSIC are muted during the duration of the chime signal. The VOX control allows to set an audio threshold for MIC/LINE 1 input, to trigger an automatic mute circuit that mutes MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC channels as soon as the input level reaches the defined threshold. The VOX control allows to set an audio threshold for MIC/LINE 1 input, to trigger an automatic mute circuit that mutes MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC channels as soon as the input level reaches the defined threshold. The PRIO LED in the front panel is turned ON when both the contact closure or the VOX circuit are triggered. When the input signal level drops below the defined threshold, the channels are unmuted, and PRIO LED is turned OFF. When set accordingly, the MIC/LINE 1 has priority over MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC. Set the channel’s volume using control 1 on the front of the device.

  6. MIC/LINE 2
    Microphone/line channel. Either the RCA (cinch) sockets or the terminal block connection can be used as signal input. The pins +, – and G of the terminal block connection form the balanced input (terminal block included). If a line level signal is present at the terminal block connection, switch the MIC/LINE 2 channel to line sensitivity by depressing the corresponding MIC/LINE switch into the LINE position. If a microphone is attached to the terminal block connection, set it to the non-depressed MIC position. When using a condenser microphone, also switch the 24 V phantom power on (switch PHANTOM ON/OFF in the depressed ON position). Ensure that the microphone is already connected and that the channel’s volume is set to minimum before switching the phantom power on. Before disconnecting the microphone, ensure that the phantom power is already switched off and that the channel’s volume is set to minimum. Tip: Use the contact closure (pins C and +) on MIC/LINE 1 channel to also give MIC/LINE 2 channel priority over MUSIC. External switches for both MIC/ LINE 1 and MIC/LINE 2 can be connected in parallel to the contact closure input.

  7. MUSIC
    Line channel for connecting additional playback devices such as a CD or MP3 player. A Bluetooth module is also built into the MUSIC channel. Two stereo line input  signals can be connected to the RCA (cinch) sockets available in the rear panel. One with a CD icon, and other with a cable icon. Use the touch-sensitive control on the front panel to select the desired signal source. Any stereo signals that are present are internally summed to mono.

  8. AUX OUT
    The AUX OUT line output with terminal block connection can be used, for example, to send a signal to an external amplifier, an active subwoofer or a MOH (Music On Hold) telephone system (terminal block included). The MUSIC-MIX switch allows sending of only the selected signal source from the music channel (MUSIC position), or the full mix of all channels (MIX position).
    Please note: The factory setting is that the EMERGENCY channel signal is routed to the AUX OUT line output with an internal jumper. To modify this setting, the  device must be opened and the corresponding jumper removed. To do so, please read the information found under “JUMPER FOR EMERGENCY SIGNAL ON AUX OUT” in these instructions.

  9. SPEAKER OUTPUT
    The loudspeaker output with terminal block connection (terminal block included) offers the option to connect either a low impedance loudspeaker with a total  impedance of at least 4 ohm (switch LO-Z HI-Z to position LO-Z) or a 70 V/100 V loudspeaker (switch LO-Z HI-Z to position HI-Z). Please use the corresponding  pin assignment illustrated below the terminal block connection. Adjust the sound of the loudspeaker’s signal to your needs by using the tone controls BASS and  TREBLE. Please ensure that the total output of the connected loudspeaker roughly corresponds to the amplifier performance.

  10. STANDBY ON/OFF
    When the standby switch is activated (STANDBY in position ON), the amplifier automatically goes into standby mode after 20 minutes of no audio signal, thereby  reducing power consumption. When an audio signal becomes present, standby mode is automatically ended and the amplifier is once again operational after around 3  seconds (the standby LED blinks white during this startup time). The STANDBY LED on the front of the device is continuously white when in normal operation. It is  red when in standby mode. IMA30 can be manually set into standby mode by pressing the standby button on its front panel. In that case, the auto-standby mode is disabled, and the unit won’t wake up automatically.
    Please note: The auto-standby mode switch analyses the connection status of the Bluetooth unit. If it identifies a Bluetooth connection to a playback device (e.g. smartphone or tablet), and Bluetooth is selected as a signal source, the device will not automatically go into standby mode.LD systems LD
IMA 30 Mixing Amplifier - STANDBY ON

  11. CHANNEL 1
    Volume control for channel 1 with white SIG (signal) LED and red CLIP LED. If an audio signal is present on channel 1 and the volume is accordingly increased using  volume control 1, the white Signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, signal distortion may result. Reduce the output level of the playback device or the  volume using volume control 1.

  12. CHANNEL 2
    Volume control for channel 2 with white SIG (signal) LED and red CLIP LED. If an audio signal is present on channel 2 and the volume is accordingly increased using  volume control 2, the white Signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, signal distortion may result. Reduce the output level of the playback device or the volume using volume control 2.

  13. Touch-sensitive control button for selecting the MUSIC channel signal source (Bluetooth module, input with CD icon, input with cable icon). Switch the signal source by touching the control panel for at least half a second. Activating the respective signal source occurs in a clockwise fashion.

  14. Touch-sensitive control button for activating the Bluetooth pairing mode. Pair a Bluetooth playback device (e.g. smartphone, tablet etc.) with the Bluetooth module by  selecting Bluetooth as the signal source (see Item 13). If no playback device is paired or connected to the Bluetooth module, the Bluetooth icon flashes slowly. Pair a  device by pressing the Bluetooth control panel for around 2 seconds, until the Bluetooth icon flashes faster. The Bluetooth ID is now visible to other Bluetooth devices.  Activate Bluetooth on your playback device and search for nearby Bluetooth devices from its Bluetooth menu. When LD IMA 30 appears under “available devices”,  select it to automatically pair. When pairing is complete, the Bluetooth icon on the front of the devices will light up and remain on. The Bluetooth ID is no longer visible  to other devices to prevent unauthorised pairing with the Bluetooth module. Playback on the device can now be started. To disconnect a currently paired Bluetooth  device and to set the Bluetooth module ready to pair again, press the Bluetooth icon for around 2 seconds. Pair the playback device and connect it again by selecting LD  IMA 30 from “paired devices” in the Bluetooth menu of the playback device.

  15. MUSIC
    Volume control for the MUSIC channel with white SIG (signal) LED and red CLIP LED. If an audio signal is present on channel MUSIC and the volume is accordingly  increased using volume control MUSIC, the white Signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, signal distortion may result. Reduce the output level of the playback device or the volume using MUSIC volume control.

  16. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL
    The master volume control is used for adjusting the volume of the summed signal of all channels, excluding the EMERGENCY channel. The EMERGENCY channel bypasses the master volume control and its signal is sent directly to the internal amplifier and loudspeaker output. The master volume control features a display ring with  tricolor LEDs. The LED ring is dark when no signal or when only a very weak signal is present at the output. It lights up white when a signal with a sufficient level is  present. When the internal limiter acts, the ring becomes yellow. When the ring becomes red, protection mode is activated due to a technical problem (e.g. short circuit in speaker cable). The output is muted in protection mode. Switch the device off. If the technical problem cannot be rectified, please contact an authorised service centre.

  17. PRIO
    Display field for the indication of an active priority mode related to MIC/LINE channels (levels 2, 3 and 4). Three situations cause the priority feature of the MIC/LINE channels to engage, thereby causing the PRIO display field on the front of the device to light up yellow:
    1. The VOX switching circuit is active (input signal level from channel MIC/LINE 1 exceeds the VOX threshold).
    2. Contact between C and + in the terminal block connection of channel MIC/LINE1 is closed using a mute button or switch.
    3. Chime tone is being played.
    Further information about channel priorities and the display fields EMERG and PRIO, on the front of the device, can be found in the table PRIORITY LEVELS in these instructions.

  18. EMERG
    Display field for the priority feature of the Emergency channel. The display field EMERG will light up yellow when priority level 1 is activated by an emergency VOX  circuit or by using an attached mute switch (contact closure). In that moment, all other input channels will be muted. As soon as the contact closure is  opened/disconnected, and when the emergency signal level falls below the set VOX threshold, all channels will be unmuted, and the EMERG display will be turned off.

  19. STANDBY BUTTON
    The amplifier can be set to standby mode with a short push of the standby button. This also mutes the loudspeaker outputs. Bring the device out of standby and back  into normal operation by briefly pressing the button again. When standby mode is activated by pressing the standby button, the amplifier’s standby mode cannot be  ended by the automatic standby feature, even when an audio signal is present.

  20. STANDBY LED
    Bicolor LED for displaying operational status. The standby LED lights up white when the device is operational. In standby mode it lights up red.
