Introduction:

Congratulations on purchasing the Media Center by OWI.

The OWI MEDIA CENTER is a 50-Watt (25 x 2) High Fidelity Amplifier, Mixer, and Room- Combiner all in a small package that fits into a double gang box. This high quality durable unit is capable of powering up to 4 speakers per side for voice, music and paging. The Media Center has 3 independent inputs that can be used for Line or Mic input.

The MEDIA CENTER is meant to replace bulky racks, amps, and mixers. OWI made to fit into a double gang box where space is limited.

Assembly Steps:

Please note that the GANGBOX SHOULD BE cut into the wall and all wires are best to be run in the wall.

Mark the wall were you will be cutting and make sure that nothing is behind the wall before you cut. Be sure that nothing is going to disturb the placement of the INWALL AMPLIFIER.

Please note that this is a digital amplifier. This amplifier is small enough for it to fit into a double gang box, and gives off very little heat.

Important!

All connections should be made with the power turned OFF!

Note: Strip all wires 3/16” and place the wires in the connector and tighten screw to the right.

Note: this must be done for each input.

1)Disconnect the Green Phoenix connector and connect the wires for your line source/s to the Green Phoenix connector. Then Plug this into the MEDIA CENTER to the desired input (1, 2, or 3) be sure that the RED jumper is in the Line spot.

2)Disconnect the Green Phoenix connector and connect all the microphone/s to the MEDIA CENTER to the desired input (1, 2, or 3) be sure that the RED jumper is in the Mic spot.

3)Disconnect the Green Phoenix connector and connect the speaker wires to the SPKR CH1 (Red to +, Black to -) phoenix connectors SPKR CH 2(Red to +, Black to -) phoenix connectors. These are both 25 watts each.

4)Connect the UL listed 15-Volt transformer (supplied) to input the amplifier. The wires must not be crossed
