2. MOUNTING THE MPA400 SYSTEM
2.1 Mounting
The MPA400 uses a NEMA 1 housing and is to be located indoors in a climate-controlled building. When
mounting the housing, note the CCA orientation in the housing. It is recommended that the housing is
mounted such that connections are made on the same end as the connectors on the CCA. Fasten the
MPA400 to the wall surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall. Always follow local codes and safety
practices. Wall fasteners not included.

3. MAKING CONNECTIONS
The MPA400 system is configured such that connections are made through the conduit knockouts. It is
recommended that connections are made on the same end as the connectors on the CCA. See Figure 4
for reference. Although connections can be made in other locations, appropriate space and wire routing
mechanisms are not provided when routing into other locations.
Figure 4 - Recommended Connection Locations
CAUTION
When making outside connections, ensure proper protection and damage prevention actions are
taken to avoid impacting internal components. Tools making inadvertent impact with internal
component or metal shavings could result in functional issues void of product warranty.
MISE EN GARDE
Lors de l'établissement de connexions à l'extérieur, assurez-vous que des mesures de protection
et de prévention des dégâts soient prises pour éviter d’endommager les composants internes.
Des outils ayant un impact accidentel avec des composants internes ou des copeaux métalliques
pourraient entraîner des problèmes fonctionnels qui ne seraient pas sous garantie.

3.1 Connecting HyperSpike®Speakers
The MPA400 includes a 4-position output connector that will accept 16-26 AWG wire. See Figure 5 for
speaker output connections. Install positive (+) speaker wire(s) in pin 3 (red wire shown) and negative
speaker wire(s) in pin 4 (black wire shown).
Note: Wire colors are for reference only, see speaker manual for wire color and polarity.
Figure 5 - Speaker Connection
IMPORTANT
Ensure wires are installed with proper polarity. Improper polarity between various channels will
negatively impact speaker performance.
