Ampetronic MLD5

Input

Power

85W 230V AC nominal, 45-65Hz. Power switch and led indicator on front panel

Input 1 & 2
Programmable Microphone / Line

XLR balanced input with programmable 15dB gain boost switchable between microphone and line on the rear panel.
Microphone specification; 200 – 600?, sensitivity -55dBu. Selectable 12V phantom power on microphone only. Line sensitivity; -30dBu. Screwdriver adjustable front panel recessed gain control

Output

Loop Output Drive Voltage

10.2Vrms (14.5Vpk)  at maximum output current per channel

Loop Output

5Arms (7Apk) continuous 1kHz sine wave peak >7A per channel

Drive Current

• Cont. pink noise 2.5Arms short term peaks >10A per channel
• Front panel recessed controls
• Drive current indicated on two 6-LED displays in 3dB increments

Loop Connectors

Neutrik NL4 Speakons (supplied) for each output

Loop Monitor

Provides access to monitor actual loop current via a 3.5mm stereo headphone connector on front panel. Channel A on left, channel B on right

Status

A pair of isolated relay contacts to indicate system status; fault = open circuit: system O.K. = short circuit

DC Output

Resettable, fuse protected 12V 0.1A.

Audio System

Frequency Response

80Hz to 6.5kHz

Distortion

THD+N

Automatic Gain Control

The AGC is optimised for speech. Dynamic range >36dB

Metal Loss Correction

Corrects system frequency response due to metal structures in a building. Gain constant at 1kHz, adjustable gain slope from 0 to 3dB per octave. This does not compensate for signal loss from metal structures which can be significant.

Phase Shift

User selectable at 0° or 90° between outputs

Additional Functions

Fault Monitoring

Fault indicators on the front panel;
• Clipping – delivering over the rated voltage (per channel)
• Temp – unit is too hot (temporarily mutes output signal)
• Loop error – short circuit / open circuit error (per channel)

Status Contact

A pair of relay contacts are provided for remote fault monitoring

Cooling

Twin variable speed fan cooled. Front inlet, rear exhaust.
