USE INSTRUCTIONS
M-62 MICROPHONE CONNECTION
This system allows you to connect a maximum of 6 M-62 microphones in total, with a maximum of 3
microphones on each line.
Each microphone must be assigned an ID when it is connected for the first time. Please note that this ID
cannot be repeated within the same system.
To assign an ID to M-62, microphone, with the microphone turned off, press and hold one of the ZONE
buttons on the microphone itself while turning the microphone on (switch located on the back of the M-62).
You can be certain that the ID configuration is correct when the LED zone being pressed flashes several
times and finally remains lit, at which point you can stop pressing the ZONE button. Each ZONE button
identifies a different ID: ID: ZONE 1 equals ID 1, ZONE 2 equals ID 2, etc. The microphone identified by ID 1
will have priority to send messages over any other mics.
Connect the LINK output of the M-62 microphone to the REMOTE MIC input of amplifier MPZ-6241 using
the supplied data cable. Interconnect M-62 microphones using the LINK connectors..

PAGING WITH THE M-62 MICROPHONE
Press the TALK button on M-62, microphone to begin an announcement, press the TALK button again to end
the announcement.
If there is no other microphone emitting a message, the TALK and microphone LEDs will be green. If, on the
other hand, the TALK indicator light turns red, this indicates that there is another microphone sending a
message at that moment. The system will create a waiting queue for all microphones requesting to send a
message (the TALK indicator will appear as a red light) and will activate them in the same order in which the
requests were made.
If the message is interrupted by the microphone with ID 1 (priority), the system will wait to re-activate the
microphone that was interrupted until the ID1 (priority) microphone has completed its announcement.
CONNECTION
The amplifier and all system components should be disconnected from the power supply before making any
connections.
Connect microphone or line-level sound sources via INPUT 1 to INPUT 6, ensuring that input gain is
regulated. If a condenser microphone is connected, select phantom power (48 V) on the rear panel of the
amplifier.
If your system consists of M-62, microphones, connect these via the REMOTE MIC port. The maximum
number of M-62 microphones is 6 with a cascade connection.
Use the 4 Ω low impedance output or the 100 or 70 V high impedance line output, depending on the type of
speakers you are connecting. Do not use both output types at the same time.
To connect low-impedance speakers, you must make serial/parallel connections so that the load impedance
of the speakers equals the output impedance of the amplifier and the power supplied by the amplifier does
not exceed the power supported by the speakers.
To connect 100V line speakers, you must make parallel connections. The MPZ-6241 amplifier has several
100V line output zones with independent volume control.
NOTE: The maximum power of each zone is 50 W RMS and the total sum of the power of all speakers must
not exceed the maximum power supplied by the amplifier, 240 W RMS.
Once the connections have been made according to your needs, connect the devices to the power outlet and
turn them on. After use, do not forget to turn off and disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
