1 Control Elements and
Connections
1.1 Front side of the PA-6040MPX
1 Tone controls BASS and TREBLE, each for
the input channels CH1 to CH6
2 Switches to assign the input to the outputs Z1
to Z4, each for input channels CH1 to CH6
3 Signal level indicators 0/−3/−8/−13 dB for the
outputs Z1 to Z4
CLIP will light up when the output is over-
loaded. In this case, reduce the volume of the
output with the control (9) or reduce the vol-
ume of the inputs with the controls LEVEL
(8).
4 Switches PAGING / PTT Z1 to Z4 to select the
outputs for an announcement via the desktop
microphone PA-4000PTT or via the input
PAGING (26)
5 Rotary switch REC / MONITOR to select a
zone output signal for the outputs REC (19)
and MONITOR (20); position OFF = off
6 Volume control LEVEL for the outputs REC
(19) and MONITOR (20)
7 LED indicators SIG will light up when a signal
is available at the input, each for input chan-
nels CH1 to CH6
8 Volume controls LEVEL, each for input chan-
nels CH1 to CH6
9 Controls LEVEL for the overall volume, each
for zone outputs Z1 to Z4
10 Volume control LEVEL for an announcement
via the desktop microphone PA-4000PTT or
via the input PAGING (26)
11 Power indicator
12 POWER switch
Note: The mixer cannot be switched off when
the voltage of an emergency power supply is
available at the terminals 24 V
(15).
1.2 Rear side of the PA-6040MPX
13 Mains jack for connection to a socket
(230 V~/ 50 Hz) via the mains cable supplied
14 Support for the mains fuse
Always replace a blown fuse by one of the
same type.
15 Screw terminals for an emergency power
supply (24 V
)
16 Outputs Z1 to Z4 via balanced XLR connec-
tions, for connection to the amplifiers
17 Inputs LOCAL INPUT for signals that are
directly routed to the respective zone output,
as balanced 6.3 mm jacks, each for zones Z1
to Z4
18 RCA jacks, each for input channels CH5 and
CH6; LEFT and RIGHT RCA jacks are pro-
vided for stereo signal sources. The mixer is
monophonic; therefore, the stereo signals are
internally transformed into a mono signal.
19 RCA outputs REC to record an output signal
selected with the selector switch REC/
MONITOR (5); LEFT and RIGHT RCA jacks
are provided for stereo recorders. The mixer
is monophonic; therefore, the signals at the
two jacks are identical.
20 Output MONITOR as 2-pole 6.3 mm jack to
connect a monitoring system for checking the
outputs; the jack will receive the signal
selected with the switch REC / MONITOR (5)
21 Switches PHANTOM, each for input chan-
nels CH1 to CH4; when the switch is
engaged, a voltage of 15 V
for phantom-
powered microphones will be available at the
XLR contacts of the input jack (22)
Make absolutely sure to observe the
notes in chapter 5.1!
22 Inputs as combined XLR / 6.3 mm jacks, bal-
anced, each for input channels CH1 to CH4
Make absolutely sure to observe the
notes in chapter 5.1!
23 Controls GAIN to match the input sensitivity
to the signal source (microphone level to line
level), each for input channels CH1 to CH4
24 RJ45 jack to connect the desktop micro-
phone PA-4000PTT
25 Plug-in screw terminals (removable) to con-
nect the pushbuttons for chime triggering,
each for input channels CH1 to CH4
26 Plug-in screw terminals PAGING (removable)
to connect a signal source with line level out-
put, as an alternative to the desktop micro-
phone PA-4000PTT, for announcements of
highest priority
1.2.1 Connection module for the zone
paging microphone PA-4000RC
(supplied with PA-4000RC)
27 RJ45 input jacks INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 to
connect up to 32 zone paging microphones
PA-4000RC; when making the connections,
observe the correct line termination
(
chapter 5.5.2)
28 Indicator DATA for the existing connection to
a zone paging microphone PA-4000RC
1.3 Desktop microphone PA-4000PTT
(separately available accessory)
29 Microphone cartridge with windshield
30 LED indicator, will light up when the talk but-
ton (31) is pressed
31 Button TALK; to make an announcement,
keep the button pressed and, if applicable,
wait for the chime
32 Jacks for connection to the mixer; for con-
nection to the PA-6040MPX, the RJ45 jack
(left) is required
33 Switch for priority feature and chime
PRIORITY – for usage at the PA-6040MPX,
leave this switch in the upper position,
because the priority of this microphone is
defined in the mixer (when an announcement
is made or the chime sounds, the other input
signals will be muted so that the announce-
ment is easier to understand)
CHIME – in the position ON, a chime will first
sound when the button TALK (31) is pressed
