1. Power Indicator
The distinctive Blue Power™ LED indicates when the
MVXA Series monitor is on.
2. Rack Mount Brackets
Install flush to front of unit for use in a standard 19"
EIA rack or cabinet
3. Output Amplifier
The MVXA Series uses a 3 Watt amplifier to drive the
internal speaker, headphone jack, and/or an external
speaker
4. Internal Speaker
The internal speaker provides built-in audio
monitoring capability. It must be used in conjunction
with other monitoring methods or bypassed (see
examples).
Examples:
a) Headphones may be used to monitor the audio
signal. When headphones are connected to the
mini headphone jack; the internal speaker is
bypassed.
b) An external speaker may be connected to the
speaker out terminals for local or remote
monitoring. When an external speaker is
connected, both internal and external speakers
will be active. To bypass the internal speaker,
the speaker/headphone disconnect jumper
must be moved to the "off" position. Note: This
also bypasses the headphone jack.
c) An external line level device may be connected
to the line out terminals. When connected, both the
internal speaker and the line level device will be
active. To bypass the internal speaker, the speaker
headphone disconnect jumper must be moved to the
"off" position. Note: This will also bypass the
headphone jack. (The line level device is not affected
by the unit's volume control).
5. Headphone Monitoring
When the mini headphone jack is utilized, the internal
speaker is automatically bypassed.
Caution: Turn volume level completely down before
plugging in headphones. High sound pressure levels
are possible
6. Visual Monitoring LEDs
Monitor panels have eight (MVXS-2008) or sixteen
(MVXA-2016) bargraph displays; one for each
channel. Each display uses twelve, high-quality and
oversized LEDs to provide clear identification and
easy readability from a distance. The meter's
dynamic range is from -30dB to +3dB.
The bottom ten LEDs are green and have VU
ballistics similar to a typical analog meter. These
monitor the range from -30dB to -2dB.
The top two LEDs are red to indicate peak response.
They correspond to 0dB and +3dB to indicate short
input levels that are above the specified reference
level. This provides immediate visual warning if signal
peaks are above the reference level.
