*The actual maximum control voltage depends on the

Configuration DIP switch settings, but the maximum power output will not be reached if the amplifier's control port voltage measures more than 10VDC.

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.
