Accessories: 30WK (wall mounting kit), 30RK (rack kit), and 30HRK (half-rack kit) are sold separately.
Note: The MOH output is only
fed by the AUX 1, AUX 2, and
AUX 3 input signals. The MIC/
TEL and PROG RAM inputs are
NOT fed t o the MO H output. No
front panel controls aff ect the
MOH output.
Amplifier Muting-Priority Scheme
The amplifier includes unique voice-activated (VOX) ducking/muting circuitry. The mute circuit is only active when
the “MUTE” switch on the rear panel has been turned “ON”. When a page is made into the microphone or
telephone input (Channel MIC/TEL), the PROGRAM, Aux 1, and Aux 3 music inputs will duck in volume (not be
completely muted). If the incoming page is strong enough in level, the music volume will be completely muted.
When the page has been completed, the volume of the music will return to its normal level. Note that AUX 2 is not
involved in the muting circuit, because when the Mic/Tel
–Aux 2 switch is in the Aux 2 position, the Aux 2 input is
active but the MIC/TEL input is defeated so muting by the MIC/TEL input is not an issue.
