2. Power Switch
Switches amplier power ON or OFF.
WARNING: Ensure the Master Volume controls is set to minimum
when switching on and off.
3. Ground Connection Point
Connect this terminal to the earthing system for safety reasons and to avoid
problems in case of short circuits or amplier malfunctions.
4.1 Amplier Output (HPMA-30/60 PLAY)
Audio outputs for low impedance (4Ω) and Hi-Z (100V) speakers. Use the DIP
switch located in the rear next to microphone input - point 8 in section “4.3. Rear
panel” on page 11 - to enable amplier’s output type suitable for your instal-
lation. Only one output can be used at a time. Especially for small background
music systems, we recommend using 4Ω output in order to perform the best
audio quality and frequency reproduction. Low Z output allows connecting in
parallel 4x16Ω or 2x8Ω loudspeakers. Amplier’s 4Ω output is designed without
output transformer and has 20Hz-20kHz frequency response to ensure the best
possible audio quality for background.
4.2 Amplier Output (HPMA-120/240 PLAY)
Audio outputs for low impedance (2Ω) and Hi-Z (100V) speakers. Be sure that
correct speaker output is enabled by using the DIP switch located in the rear next
to the microphone input - point 8 in section “4.3. Rear panel” on page 11 - to
enable amplier’s output type suitable for your installation Only one output can
be used at a time. Especially for small background music systems, we recom-
mend using 2Ω output in order to perform the best audio quality and frequency
reproduction. Low Z output allows connecting in parallel 8x16Ω loudspeakers or
4x8Ω loudspeakers. Amplier’s 2Ω output is designed without output transformer
and has traditional 20Hz-20kHz frequency response to ensure the best possible
audio quality for background.
WARNING: Pay attention to wiring on low-Z output! Please use a
minimum of 1.5mm² cables to connect speakers to a short distance.
Depending on audio line length, cable diameter must be increased in
order to minimize voltage drop on cable.

5. DC Power supply Input
The amplier can be powered using an external power source that provides
voltage from 24V to 36V DC power (see “6. SPECIFICATIONs” on page 22 for
details). This is useful for emergency situations or when AC mains power is not
available. Voltage in DC input aects the maximum amplier’s power. Please
check the table above. It shows the relation between the amplier’s output power
and the DC input voltage.
6. RCA Line Output
RCA stereo output for connecting device to external audio amplier or other
equipment.
7. RCA Aux Input
RCA stereo input for connecting external audio source. Once connected, control
Play/Pause, Skip forward and Skip backward functions from your device. Volume
is controlled with the “AUX” level control knob on the front panel, or from the
connected device.
8. Phantom Power, Input Priority and Output Impedance Selector
MIC input can provide 48V phantom power for condenser microphones. This
input can also have a priority over other inputs.
The Output Impedance selector sets up the amplier outputs depending on the
audio system type. 100V mode enables the output transformer and sets up the
amplier circuits to adjust and amplify audio optimized for 100V speaker lines. 4Ω
(HPMA-30/60) and 2Ω (HPMA-120/240) modes turn o the 100V output trans-
former, in order to connect speaker lines directly from the power amplier stage.
This mode ensures the best amplier performance and also enables 20Hz-20kHz
frequency reproduction in order to force low impedance loudspeakers to sound
as best as they can.
