DMPA series devices have three audio outputs for different impedance speakers
and audio lines: 4Ω, 70V, and 100V. Only one output can be used at a time.
Operating amplifiers with more than one output may cause damage to the
amplifier or connected speakers.
AMPLIFIER OUTPUT IMPEDANCE SWITCH
Switch amplifier between 4Ω and 70V / 100V output impedance modes,
corresponding to the connected output.
LINE LEVEL AUDIO OUTPUT
RCA stereo output for connecting the device to an external audio amplifier or
other equipment.
AUX INPUT
RCA stereo input for connecting external audio sources.
MIC INPUTS
Two microphones can be connected to the device: MIC 1 using a phoenix
