About the MP 101, MP 101 AAP, and
MP 101 D
The Extron MP 101, MP 101 AAP, and MP 101 D (the
MP 101 Series) are high quality microphone to line level audio
preamplifi ers. These products can add microphone capability to
most Extron audio and switcher systems.
The MP 101 is rack-mountable, while the MP 101 AAP is an
AAP plate option for easy integration into Extron architectural
products. The MP 101 D works similarly to the other two units,
but features a Decora
® wallplate mounting option. Information
on its installation and operation are found in chapter 4, “The
MP 101 D”.
Each model features a recessed Mic Gain potentiometer that
provides a 25 to 72 dB adjustment range, compensating for
different microphone sensitivities. Each model also features an
on/off switch for 48 volt phantom power and low cut fi ltering.
Remote control is available through optional Extron VCM 100
AAP/MAAP panels, which control volume and muting.
