1 INTRODUCTION As you read this manual, you’ll find figur es and diagrams to help you understand and visualize what you’re r eading. Y ou’ll also find numerous icons that serve as cues to flag important information or warn you against improper or potentially harmful activities. These icons include: A NOTE identifies an important or usefu[...]

2 INTRODUCTION The MM-4CEU is specifically designed and requir ed for use in an MM-4 loudspeaker system. In conjunction with professional grade amplifiers, the MM-4CEU pr otects your MM-4 loudspeakers against damaging overload conditions, while ensuring that they meet their published specifications.[...]

3 CHAPTER 1 The following MM-4 mounting options accoommodate a variety of differ ent installation r equirements:   The MUB-MM4 U-bracket, which allows the MM-4 to be mounted on virtually any flat surface and enables you to change the angle of the MM-4 with respect to the mounting surface.   The MFMA-MM4 flush mount adapter , which fi[...]

4 CHAPTER 1 Standard Connector A Phoenix-style keyed connector is fitted to the indoor version of the MM-4 (Figure 1.3). The connector is wir ed with the left terminal as negative (-) and the right terminal as positive (+), when viewing the loudspeaker from the r ear . The Phoenix cable mount connector accepts conductors up to 12 AWG ( Ameri can W[...]

5 CHAPTER 2 The MM-4CEU is a requir ed component for every MM-4 installation. It performs a number of important signal- processing functions to ensur e that the MM-4 meets its published specifications and is protected against damaging overload conditions. The MM-4CEU mounts in a standard 19-inch r elay rack and occupies a single rack space (1.75 i[...]

6 CHAPTER 2 AC POWER The MM-4CEU accommodates international power standards in two ranges: 90 to 130 V AC and 180 to 260 V AC, 50/60 Hz. A rear -panel switch selects between the two. ! CAUTION: Be sure to select the corr ect range for your local power standard befor e connecting and operating the MM-4CEU. Use the AC cable wiring diagram, illustrate[...]

7 CHAPTER 2 NOTE: Most source equipment is safe for driving loads no smaller than 10 times the source’ s output impedance. For source equipment with driving capability of 600 ohms, 16 MM-4CEUs could be safely driven in parallel (10 kOhms divided by 16 equals 625). ! CAUTION: Shorting any input connector pin to the chassis can create a gr ound loo[...]

9 CHAPTER 3 The MM-4 is designed for high-quality distributed sound systems. T o realize the MM-4’ s full capabilities, a direct- drive power amplifier capable of 49 volts rms (70 volts peak) at the rated load impedance presented by the line configuration is requir ed. The MM-4 pr esents a nominal load of 16 ohms, and each unit must be wired in[...]

10 CHAPTER 3 POWER SUPPL Y Some amplifiers are designed so that the internal power supply rails sag as the load current incr eases. While the amplifier’ s rated continuous output at a given load may appear high, its peak output voltage varies with the load impedance. Because a loudspeaker’ s impedance changes with frequency , such an amplifi[...]
