INTRODUCTION
MPAGE1r is a real-time desktop (“paging ”) station. Connecting the paging station to equipment with a microphone input such as the SAM/eSAM series, DAM614, MIMO/MIMOSG series, CA series, HMA/eHMA series, etc., you can send voice messages in real-time.
Main Features
- 1 voice message activation key (PAGE)
- Gooseneck microphone
- Euroblock type balanced audio connector
- Euroblock type TRIGGER connector for remote control of external equipment (N.O./N.C internally selectable)
INSTALLATION and CONNECTION
Installing an MPAGE1r unit consists of the following steps:
-
1. Installation of audio wiring: remove the screw in the bottom of the device, and slide the bottom plate to access the connectors. Hole the rubber grommet and pass the audio cable through it. Cable balancing between the MICR connection of the MPAGE1r and the audio input of the receiving equipment (mixer, audio matrix, etc.):
Live or direct signal > Terminal +
Cold or inverted signal > Terminal –
Ground > Terminal ⊥ -
The audio cable also delivers the phantom power required for the MPAGE1r unit to operate and which must be supplied remotely by the receiver.
-
Installation of TRIGGER control wiring (optional): the status of the control signal of the TRIGGER connector can be selected by means of an internal jumper –Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.). When N.O. is selected, control signal will be active while the PAGE key is pressed. When N.C. is selected, control signal will be inactive while the PAGE key is pressed. The control signal is used for the remote control of certain functions of external equipment, such as to enable the MUTE function of a MIMO88 unit using one of its GPI inputs, a MUTE input on a SAM mixer, etc.
Note:
the TRIGGER control signal is not a power-free contact closure; rather, it operates thanks to a circuit based on MOSFET devices. For more information, consult the technical features of the equipment. -
Adjust the microphone level of the receiver equipment
Note:
The console microphone is a non-extractable electret cardioid type mounted on a flexo. It is supplied with an “anti-pop” foam windshield.
OPERATION
Once the MPAGE1r unit is connected to the receiver, messages are sent by pressing the PAGE key and keeping it pressed while the voice message plays. If the receiver has a “talkover ” function that works by automatically detecting the signal delivered by the microphone or by closing the external contact using the TRIGGER connector, the sound in the areas where the message is being received will be attenuated or muted
- While the message is being delivered if there is automatic level detection (PAGE key pressed + message playing) or
- as long as the PAGE key is pressed if activated by closing the contact
CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
- PAGE key
- Gooseneck microphone
- Rubber grommet
