41. IMPORTANT REMARKWe thank you for trusting on us and choosing our eHMA powered mixer. In order to get the most inoperation and efficiency from your mixing unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT for you - before you plug anything -to read this manual very carefully and take seriously into account all considerations specified within it.In order to guarantee the optimum operation of this unit, we strongly recommend that itsmaintenance be carried out by our Authorised Technical Services.1.1. Safety PrecautionsThis apparatus must be earthed through its mains cable.Do not expose the unit to rain or water splashes, and do not place liquid containers orincandescent objects like candles on top of the unit.Any change in the configuration of the unit must be carried out by a qualified technician.Should any connection / disconnection task be done, always disconnect the unit from the mainssupply.Failure to do so may result in malfunction of the device and may even damage the device:1. Avoid turning on the device without speakers connected to its outputs and withoutsetting the volume / gain controls to the minimum.2. Always use shielded cables to make the connections between devices.There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.2. INTRODUCTIONeHMA is an easy-to-use series of professional powered mixers designed for PA applications. Itsmain features are:• Amplified mono output for 70/100V line and low impedance (4Ω), 60 W (eHMA60), 120W(eHMA120) or 240W (eHMA240)• Audio input channels:o eHMA60: 2 MIC/LINE inputs (1 of them with talkover function) + 1 MIC inputo eHMA120: 3 MIC/LINE inputs (all 3 with talkover function) + 1 LINE inputo eHMA240: 2 MIC/LINE inputs (both with talkover function) + 2 LINE inputs + 2 MIC input(both with talkover function)• Input sensitivity level control (GAIN) on the rear panel.• +24 V DC phantom power available for all MIC and MIC/LINE inputs (eHMA60 and eHMA120). +18VDC available in eHMA240.• Talkover function (audio priority over existing audio) operating on compatible inputs (dependingon models – Talkover can be simultaneously assigned to multiple inputs).• Global 2-band tone controls for mixing bus.• LED level indicators for level (SP) and clipping (CLIP) of the mixing signal.• Main output level control.• Recording / auxiliary output (eHMA120 and eHMA240).• The "MUTE" remote control input and the front panel status indicator allow connection of externaldry contact closures (fire detection systems and other safety devices that have to mute the mixersignal by activating the "NO" (normally open) control signal).• Chime sound, enabled by external dry contact closure, available on eHMA120 and eHMA240,compatible with paging stations.
