CONNECTING OUTPUTS.

Connect the VARIABLE OUT sockets (6) of each channel to the appropriate power amplifier and speaker system. The power amplifiers and loud- speakers should be matched with respect to power and quality. NAD supplies a range of power and inte- grated amplifiers suitable for use in these types of installations.

SETTING THE MUSIC LEVEL.

Set the hi-fi preamplifier volume control to mini- mum. Set the NAD-911 MICROPHONE LEVEL con- trol (5) to minimum and the rest of the Channel LEVEL controls (3) to the 12 O’clock position. Switch the system on.

With a music source playing (preferably a CD) turn the preamplifier volume control up until the music reaches a generally acceptable level. Now adjust each of the individual speaker volumes to exactly the required level by adjusting each of the NAD-911 channel LEVEL controls (3).

INSERT SIGNAL TO ALL CHANNELS

In a simple installation, where all the channels are linked together, press the INSERT (4) button on all channels. Announcements will be fed to all speakers whenever the microphone is used and the MASTER INSERT button is pressed.

INSERT SIGNAL ONLY ON SELECTED CHANNELS

Press the INSERT buttons (4) only on the channels where announcements are required. Announcements will be fed to those speakers whenever the micro- phone is used and the MASTER INSERT button is pressed.

Only the channels with the INSERT buttons depressed will be fed with the announcements when the microphone is used and the MASTER INSERT button is pressed. If announcements are to be fed only to specific channels then press the INSERT (4) buttons on only those channels which need announcements.

Speak into the microphone whilst slowly turning up the MICRO- PHONE LEVEL control (5) until the announcement level is about right. Switch the music source on and fine adjust the MICROPHONE LEVEL. Switch out the MICROPHONE MASTER INSERT button when fin- ished.

NOTE:

The microphone Insert signal can be configured internally to be disabled, inserted before or after either one of the six channel level controls. The facto- ry default setting inserts the signal before the level control for all channels. Changing the configuration must be left to qualified personnel.
