Wiring the MLA’s Amp/Mixer Control connector

In some applications the amplifier’s front panel volume control knob may be disabled when the MLA is attached to the amplifier’s control port.

See the illustration on page 2-9 for power wiring instructions. The Configuration DIP switches must also be set to select the outgoing voltage. See pages 2-7 to 2-9.
