5 Speaker wiring.
5.1 Low impedance speaker connection. 4 Ω
In order to connect conventional 4 Ω speaker systems, connect positive terminal of
the speaker (+) to 4Ω terminal. Connect the negative side (-) to COM terminal.
5.2 High impedance speaker connection. 70/100V
In order to parallel connect high impedance speaker systems (70/100V), connect the
positive side of the speaker (+) to 70/100V terminal. Connect the negative side (-) to
COM terminal.

6 Operating Overview
1. ower On:
The computer is connected to the 230V AC. ress the ON/OFF switch on the front panel.
2. Manual alarm/message broadcasting:
To activate the warning tone, or alarm you must press the button on the front panel.
3. hantom ower:
This unit allows phantom power for all microphones inputs. To activate it you must activate
the corresponding switch on the rear panel.
4. Gain control input:
To adjust the gain of the inputs, the QX series features a potentiometer per input channel,
located on the rear panel. This potentiometer allows a dynamic range of 44dB.
5. riority control:
riority adjustment of the sources can be done by using the switches on the rear panel for
channels 1 and 2 "Talkover". QX240 has three priority levels :
(1) riority input (Tele- aging)
