Features
•Interfaces Crown
•Interface powers up to four mics via phantom power from mixer and provides four balanced
•Pluggable terminal block (Phoenix type) connectors
•MB-100 provides programmable mic switch- ing
•MB-200 also has remote switch sensing via optical coupler
anced outputs on the interface, and for remote switch sensing.
The interface is powered by 18 to 48V phantom power from a mixer or a phantom power supply.
Wiring Interface Mic Inputs
Before installing the mics, wire them to the included plug- gable terminal blocks (PTBs) as described below:

2.Wire the cables for two adjacent mics to the PTB as shown in Fig. 2.
If you do NOT want the LEDs to light, disconnect the leads from PTB terminals 2 and 5.
3.Similarly, wire MICS 3 and 4 (if used) to another

Please refer to Fig. 3. Repeat this wiring for another inter- face output (if used).
Wiring Mic On/Off Switches
As supplied from the factory, the mics are always on. For optional user control of each microphone, you can use either a momentary or a
1.Two switches connect to one pluggable terminal block (PTB). Run a twisted pair from each switch to a
