WPA-50x
Although there are four I/O connections, there are only
two usable I/O ports. Each of the two I/O ports can be
configured, via software, to be either an Input or an
Output. Each I/O port has two connection pins. One pin
is optimized to work as an Input and the other pin is
optimized to work as an Output.
Example One: I/O #1 is assigned as an Input. Connect
to I/O In #1 and Gnd. Nothing would be
connected to I/O Out #1.
Example Two: I/O #2 is assigned as an Output.Connect
to I/O Out #2 and Gnd. Nothing would
be connected to I/O In #2.
The I/O Ports are shared between the WPA-50x
connector and the Input/Output connector. When a
WPA-50x is in use, either one or both of the I/O pins are
not available for use.
REMINDER
The MS-300 Network Interface comes equipped with two ports to handle input and output
from other Audio Enhancement®devices such as WPA-500 series wallplates and SAFE System
(Signal Alert For Education)® devices through a CAT6 cable connection.
The WPA-50x port is designed
specifically for connection to
the following devices:
• WPA-501
• WPA-502
• WPA-504
• WPA-505

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
REMINDER
Speaker wire with tinned leads can be used on the
spring loaded terminals on the speaker. However,
ensure that the tinned portion of the leads are cut o
before being inserted into the green terminal blocks on
the amplifier so that bare copper is being captured by
the screw compression terminals.
Speaker End
Amplifier End
When using 4 speakers, wire ceiling
speakers parallel in the ceiling—
bringing one speaker wire per pair
to the MS-300 amplifier channel.
