wired to the mXa-1502 Euroblock VCA pins V+,

1, 2, or 3, and ground, then associated in Ashly

AquaControl

software with a VCA Gain block

placed anywhere in the signal chain.
If using a potentiometer other than the WR-1,

use 10k Ohm and wire the mXa V+ pin to the

potentiometer's clockwise terminal, GND to the

counter-clockwise terminal, and VCA pin 1-3

to the wiper.

Do not connect the WR-1 ground

connection to any external grounds.

WR-1.5

The WR-1.5 offers

a single rotary

potentiometer for DC

level control, plus with

a four-position rotary

switch for triggering

events using mXa-

1502 trigger inputs.

WR-2 Event

Trigger Switches

The WR-2 lockout

push-button remote

can trigger up to four

different events that

have been programmed

into the mXa-1502.

Each pushbutton switch

gets connected to a

trigger input pin. When

a switch is pressed,

it triggers the event

programmed for that

trigger input.

Amplifier Protection

Over Current Protection

- When the output

current exceeds the amplifier's safe operating

limits. This occurs in the amplifier output stage.

Thermal Protection

- The amplifier senses out-

put device temperature and adjusts fan speed
to keep the operating temperature within ac-
ceptable limits. If device temperatures exceed
that limit, the input level to that channel is first
reduced, and as a last resort the power supply
will be switched off while the fan continues to run.

Mains Protection

– Protection within the

power supply includes:

In-rush Current Limitation during power up

Mains Over Voltage Detection

Internal Mains Fuse Protection

To protect the Mains fuse against AC

overcurrent due to excessive audio output

current, there is a protection scheme indicated

on the front panel which reduces audio output

level until the overcurrent condition is no longer

present.

DC Output Protection

– If the amplifier senses

DC on an output it shuts down the power

supply.

Troubleshooting

No AC Power

Is the detachable AC power cord properly

installed? Is it plugged into a known live

outlet?

Has the power switch been disabled?

No Amplifier Output

Is the amplifier in protect or standby mode?

Is the input signal properly wired to either a

mic/line input or RCA line input?

Are remote control or software level controls

turned down?

Is the signal muted from DSP, remote

control, mixer, or a triggered/scheduled

event?

Are dynamics or gain tool settings in

the signal chain allowing signal to pass

properly?

Is signal routed to the correct output

channel in the mixer matrix?

Are level controls set properly in the mixer?

Has a scheduled or triggered event changed

settings?

Still Not Working?
