Peavey MPE-S2 User manual

MPE™-S2 MA Series Mic Pre-Amp Module
DESCRIPTION:
The MPE-S2 is an electronically balanced microphone pre-amp module for the MMA Series of Peavey Architectural
Acoustics mixer/amplifiers. t has screwdriver-adjustable pre-amp gain and low-cut filter, Phoenix-style connector for permanent
installation wiring, switchable phantom power, three muting options, and an inverting mute function that mutes the master mic when
no signal is present. The electronic balancing affords a good Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) at a low cost for short to
medium mic-level cable runs. For extremely long runs, use the MPT Series of transformer-coupled mic pre-amp modules.

MUTE FEATURES:
An important feature of the MMA Series of mixers/package amps is simultaneous operation of two
separate mute buses. The MPE-S2 has been designed to take full advantage of both mute buses
with a wide variety of programming options.
PHAN (Phantom Power):
With jumper means 24 VDC at both the + and - signal input terminals.
MASTER:
The MPE-S2 can be “master” on Mute 1 and/or Mute 2. Being assigned “master” means that the
MPE-S2 would have muting control of the selected bus. For example, three modules used for music
or speech are assigned as slaves on the Mute 1 bus. The MPE-S2 is assigned as master on Mute
1 as an emergency signal source. When the emergency signal is activated, the slave modules are
muted and only the MPE-S2 is heard. To assign the MPE-S2 as master on Mute 1 or Mute 2, simply
install the supplied jumper on the two pins labeled MAS 1 or MAS 2.
SLAVE:
The MPE-S2 can be “slave” on Mute 1 and/or Mute 2. Being assigned “slave” means that any
signal from a master source on the corresponding bus would mute the MPE-S2. To assign the
MPE-S2 as a slave on Mute 1 and/or Mute 2, simply install a supplied jumper on the two pin labeled
SLV 1 and/or SLV 2. The MPE-S2 slave function can operate in one of the two modes: as a normal
non-inverting slave or as an inverting slave.
Non-In erting Sla e:
This is the normal slave mode of the MPE-S2. When a jumper is on this position’s pins, a
signal from a master source on the selected mute bus will mute the MPE-S2. nstall a jumper
on the two pins labeled N NV to activate this mode for either mute bus (or both, if both are
selected).
In erting Sla e Mode*:
A new feature of the MPE-S2 is its ability to invert the slave operation. This simply means
that instead of muting when a mute signal is on the bus, the module is muted when the mute
signal is absent. This can be used to set up a MMA system for automatic or push-button
activated paging.
Automatic: To use the module in this way, it must be assigned as a master and a slave
on the same bus. Other modules on the bus must be assigned as non-inverting slaves. n this
mode, the master module used to page would normally be muted, while all other modules
would be un-muted. When signal is applied to the master module, it un-mutes and all of the
other slave modules would mute.
Push-Button: n the push-button mode, the settings are identical to those of the
automatic mode with two exceptions: (1) The module does not have to be assigned as a
master to the bus, and (2) A push-button would be wired across the external mute terminal of
the mixer/package amp to ground. Rather than the signal source triggering the mute and page,
the push-button does the activation. This would be a more reliable method if a soft-talker were
using the system. *NOTE: The module must be assigned as either inverting or non-inverting for
proper operation even if it is not assigned as a slave.
