Mic Gain — A recessed, adjustable potentiometer defines the amount of input signal (between 25 and 72 dB) allowed into the preamp.

This potentiometer is covered by a plastic cap to avoid tampering. To adjust the potentiometer, use a small screwdriver to remove the covering, make adjustments, then replace the cap.

Active and Mute LEDs — The active LED lights green to indicate active sound. The mute LED lights red to indicate mute.

d Mute button — Toggles between active sound and mute (indicated by its LEDs). When used with an optional Extron VCM 100 controller, the two controllers are synchronized.

Adjusting the MP 101 AAP

Most adjustment options for the MP 101 AAP are located on its rear panel (see “Rear Panel Features” in this chapter for an illustration of each option). Therefore, you must perform these adjustments prior to final mounting into a wall or a piece of furniture.

To adjust the MP 101 AAP, do the following:

1.If using a condenser microphone, flip the Phantom power switch to the “on” position.

If using a dynamic microphone, flip the Phantom power switch to the “off” position.

2.When using the microphone for voice audio, flip the Low Cut switch to “on” to reduce wind and “table rumble” noise.

When using the microphone for music audio, flip the Low Cut switch to “off” to preserve the optimum sound quality.

3.Set the Mic Gain potentiometer by saying a few words into the microphone and adjusting for the maximum sound
