Alternatively, the UM series amplifiers can be powered by a 24Vdc power supply, such as a truck or boat battery, by connecting the "+" and "-" of the battery to the 24Vdc INPUT (15) on the rear panel. Ensure that DC cables are capable of handling the current (4A or higher recommended) (Note: For UM90 operating from 24Vdc power, the output is reduced to 80Wrms) Connect a microphone (if required) to the front panel jack input (9). Connect any line level audio inputs to the LINE IN connectors (17) on the rear panel using good quality RCA leads. An additional 3.5mm AUX line input (1) is provided on the front panel for connecting a playback device such as a smart phone or MP3 player. Further amplifiers can be connected from the rear LINE OUT sockets (16) For stable FM radio reception, connect the Antenna `F' type socket (18) to a suitable FM antenna. The UM series amplifiers can be used either as 100V line amplifiers or standard low impedance power amplifiers. These 2 configurations cannot be used together, so it is important to decide which method will be used at the start. 100V line systems For 100V line systems, connect the amplifier to the first speaker in the system using double-insulated speaker wire which has adequate current rating to handle the total output of the amplifier. Connect the "100V" output terminal to the positive (+) connection of the speaker and "COM" output to the negative (-) connection of the speaker (14). Connect further speakers in parallel to the first speaker with all positive terminals connected together and all negative terminals connected together as shown below. A 100V line speaker system can comprise of many speakers connected together. The determining factor for how many speakers can be used on a single amplifier is the power rating. For most purposes, it is advised to connect as many speakers as needed with a combined wattage of no more than 90% of the amplifier's output power rating. The terminals of a 100V speaker are connected to a transformer and in some cases, this transformer may be "tapped" for different power ratings. These tappings can be used to adjust the wattage (and output volume) of each speaker in the system to help achieve the ideal total power of the system for the amplifier. Low impedance systems The UM30/60 amplifiers can alternatively provide an output for a single 8 speaker by connecting the "8" output to the positive (+) speaker connection and "COM" output to the negative (-) speaker connection. It is important to ensure that the speaker load is no lower than 8 and that the power handling of the speaker is equal to or greater than the output power of the amplifier. UM30, UM60, UM90 User Manual Operation When all connections to the amplifier are made, turn all rotary controls down and switch on the power (13) and a power LED will illuminate. Ensure a signal is being fed to the LINE IN connection and gradually increase the MASTER rotary control (6) part way for testing. Increase the LINE IN rotary (4) until the output is heard through the speakers. Turn up the MASTER to the maximum required volume level and reduce the LINE IN control if necessary. Note: If a line input is not connected to a UM series mixer-amplifier, the initial test can be made using the built-in Media audio player. See section below for instructions. If a microphone is connected, make sure it is switched on and gradually increase the MIC control (3) whilst speaking into the microphone until the required volume level is reached. The microphone should not be able to "hear" the speakers, which can cause feedback (squealing or howling noise). Media player 20. AUX input 3.5mm jack 21. USB port 22. SOURCE select button 23.
