INTRODUCTION

The multi-zone, 6-zone powered mixers of the MZ series with FM radio, Keysol, USB, Micro SD and Bluetooth have a power of 120W (MZ6120BTK), 240W (MZ6240BTK), 350W (MZ6350BTK) or 500W (MZ6500BTK). They are to be used in environments
with a large number of loudspeakers, where the same music (sound system) is required with independent volume adjustment on the zones. For example restaurants, bars, offices, banks, places of worship, etc…
The multi-zone powered mixers of the MZ series are designed to offer maximum protection against overloads, short circuits and overheating to avoid any type of damage to people or things.
IMPORTANT: the sum of the powers of the 100V loudspeakers connected to the 6 amplifier outputs MUST NEVER EXCEED THE NOMINAL POWER OF THE AMPLIFIER ITSELF.
ATTENTION: this series of amplifiers only requires 100V audio speakers. Connecting 8 ohm audio speakers can cause serious damage.
Notes: Choose the amplifier according to the total power needed 120W (MZ6120BTK), 240W (MZ6240BTK), 350W (MZ6350BTK) or 500W (MZ6500BTK).
It should be noted that the total power of the amplifier is divided between the zones.
For example, if the 240W MZ6240BTK is chosen and nominal 200W loudspeakers are connected to ZONE 1, while nominal 40W loudspeakers are connected to ZONE 2, the power of the amplifier must be considered saturated. You will not be able to connect
other speakers to ZONE3/4/5/6.

**IMPORTANT: you cannot use this amplifier by simultaneously connecting low impedance speakers (4, 8, 16Ω) and 70/100V.
It is possible to simultaneously connect 100V speakers both on the general output sockets (19) and on the zone sockets (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17). It is recommended to connect as many audio speakers, as necessary, with a combined wattage not exceeding 90% of the rated power of the amplifier.
If you connect the GRM1 device to the EMC input to send alarm or evacuation messages, the MUTE potentiometer (5) must be adjusted to a minimum.
When connecting the GRM1 to the EMC input, use both the Left and Right outputs.
Clamp H for the hot pole and G for the screen. The C terminal must remain unconnected.

CONNECTION AUDIO SPEAKERS 100V

System with 100V line
Connect the speakers via a polarized cable, making a parallel connection, respecting the COM (-) and 100V (+) polarity.
A 100V speaker system can include many speakers connected to each other. The factor that determines how many speakers can be connected to a single amplifier is the rated power. The sum of the rated powers of the speakers must not exceed the total
power of the amplifier.
Inmost uses, it is recommended to connect all the necessary audio speakers, so that the sum of the powers does not exceed 90% of the nominal power of the amplifier.
For example:

• 108W MZ6120BTK
• 216WMZ6240BTK
• 315WMZ6350BTK
• 450WMZ6500BTK

The terminals of a 100V audio speaker are connected to a transformer. The transformer has several nominal power take-offs.
Power sockets can be used to choose the wattage (and output volume) of each speaker to get the correct total power (supported by the amplifier).
Amplifier output terminals for connecting audio speakers:

• 6 outputs at 100V

Audio speakers with different power ratings can be connected to each amplifier output (ZONE). The sum of the nominal watts of the speakers must not exceed the power of the amplifier.
Failure to comply with this may result in permanent damage to the amplifier.

MULTI-ZONE MICROPHONE BASE BM6

Multi-zone microphone base, paging, remote, tabletop, with buttons, for amplifiers MZ6120BTK, MZ6240BTK, MZ6350BTK , MZ6500BTK .
The base provides 6-zone calling, with a maximum distance of 300 meters via CAT6 cable. Each amplifier supports up to 6 microphone bases, connected in cascade (daisy chain). The microphone bases have rear dipswitches for setting address, priority and activating the chime tone.
The microphone base is powered directly by the amplifier.
Features:
6 zone selection buttons (ZONE1, ZONE2, ZONE3, ZONE4, ZONE5, ZONE6). – Gooseneck microphone connector.

• Power indicator.
• Communication indicator.
• Busy indicator .
• Speaker zone selectors 1-6.
• Call/talk button.
• Select button to all zones (1-6 selector).
• ON/OFF switch.
• RJ45 port to connect the next base in cascade.
• RJ45 port of communication with amplifier MZ6120BTK, MZ6240BTK, MZ6350BTK , MZ6500BTK.
• Microphone gain control.
• Local Aux input (switching with microphone).
• Dip switch setting switches.
• 41cm rod.
• Power supply via amplifier link with CAT6 cable RJ45 connector.
• Linkable in daisy chain (up to 6 bases) for a maximum length of 300mt.

2 Power indicator.| 9 ON/OFF switch.
3 Indicator (chime) tone playback.| 10 RJ45 port to connect the next base in cascade.

5 Speaker zone indicators 1-6.| 12 Microphone gain control.
6 Speaker zone selectors 1-6.| 13 Aux input (excludes microphone).
7 Call/talk button.| 14 Dip switch switches configuration (see page 8).

Up to 6 BM6 microphone bases can be connected to the MZ6xxxBT amplifier, cascading with each other.
The setting of the address and priority, through the rear dip switches (see table), must take place before turning on the amplifier, so that once turned on, the amplifier will detect the presence of the bases and their setting.
If the priority dipswitch is not set, all bases have the same priority, and the first one that makes the call, occupies the line.
If the priority dipswitch is set, the base station can interrupt ongoing communication and occupy the line.
In case of two or more bases with the same priority, the new call stops the current ones.
Making a microphone call, even in one area, still stops playing music in all other areas.

DIP1 – DIP4: microphone base address setting
DIP5 – DIP7: if set to “OFF” a press of the CALL button opens the communication and a subsequent press closes it. If set to the “ON” position, you must hold down the CALL button to make the call.
DIP8: enabling or disabling tone din don.
IMPORTANT: before speaking, wait until the red collar of the microphone is lit.

START-UP PROCEDURE

USING THE AMPLIFIER
After correctly connecting the audio speakers and any accessories (external sources, microphones, recorder / message generator,
etc.) proceed to start the device as follows:

1. Set the channel volume and general controls to 0 (zero).
2. Power the amplifier and turn it on.
3. Select the desired source with the 11 (MODE) button.
4. Increase the volume by holding down the 16 (+ volume) button until the threshold of 20 is exceeded.
5. Increase the overall volume with knob 2 (MASTER).

In the RJ45 input, connect the microphone base (e.g. BM6).
In the inputs MIC1 (front), MIC/LINE2, MIC/LINE3, MIC/LINE4 (back) connect external sources or microphone base, radio/wire microphones (e.g. BM1000D/WSH/WSL/PG).
Important:
The MIC1 input on the front is prioritized, automatically attenuates the volume of internal sources and MIC/LINE2, MIC/LINE3, MIC/LINE4 inputs (rear).
Adjust the desired MIC volume using knob 10 (MIC 1). The minimum level of background music is adjusted by the potentiometer (point 12 page 5).
To connect a GRM1 recorder, message generator (alert, service, advertising) use the EMC IN.
For any other sources use the available channels MIC / LINE2, MIC / LINE3, MIC / LINE4 (back), setting the relative DIP SWITCH in ON LINE position, adjusting the volumes through the knobs INPUT 2, INPUT 3, IMPUT 4.
If you use microphones that require Phantom power (+48V) activate it by putting the DIP SWITCHES in the OFF position.
In addition to the MASTER channel and volume controls, there are BASS (low frequencies) and TREBLE EQ (medium-high frequencies) controls.
Adjust these controls according to the type of audio signal, the desired sound and the volume used (avoiding distortion).
Notes:
when adjusting the volume with the zone controls (1-6) and the Master, be careful not to saturate the signal of the device.
Saturation can also be done by adjusting the volumes of the input channels MIC1, MIC/LINE2, MIC/LINE3, MIC/LINE4 (front).
Saturation can also occur by mistakenly connecting a line signal into a microphone input.
The device will signal the volume limit threshold by turning on the 0dB or CLIP LEDs, placed on the front, which indicate distortion or clipping of the output signal.
In case of prolonged lighting of the LEDs, immediately lower the MASTER, to avoid damaging the luminaire.
