Connection of stations
With the amplifiers of the AX6000 range, connecting a PMB106-G mi-
crophone station, so as to enable messages to be sent to one or more
receiving zones is simple and quickly done. It is essential to use SFTP
CAT.5E shielded cables (IN UNITS input), and it is possible to connect
up to 16 stations in cascade fashion over a maximum distance of up
to 1 km. If necessary, the bases can be powered by means of their
rear-panel sockets. The output level is adjustable by means of the ap-
propriate front-panel control (MIC/UNITS).
BACKGROUND MUSIC
This equipment enables activation/de-activation of BACKGROUND
MUSIC in the chosen zone by means of the switches provided for this
purpose on the front panel. The appropriate LED will light up to confirm
that the music has been activated in the zone in question.
Configuration micro-switches
The main feature of the AX6000 range is the presence of micro-
switches on the rear panel enabling the settings of all the operational
parameters of the equipment to be checked and/or changed. Speci-
fically, it is possible to manage priorities among the various different
audio inputs, to enable a warning signal, to enable VOX (automatic
activation) of the MIC1 input and to programme the zones for calls by
means of a precedence contact and from the telephone/emergency
input.
Telephone/Emergency Input
There is a special audio input (TEL/EMERG) on the rear terminal block,
balanced with a transformer and with automatic activation of prece-
dence (VOX). Controls for adjusting the level and the activation th-
reshold are provided on the rear panel. This input can be used for

AWF/HV and AXF/HV range | Industrial amplifiers
4 kV insulation
The peculiarity of these amplifiers is that they are able to withstand high voltages between the mains
power supply/loudspeaker outputs and the frame, even reaching up to 4 kV. This feature increases
the safety of the system, preventing possible discharges on the mains or on the loudspeakers con-
nections from passing along the audio chain thus causing serious damage or personal injury.
This built-in amplifier has a standard format that enables it to be mounted also inside telephone type
cabinets. The fact that it can be directly wall-mounted using the special backplate enables it to be
used in all situations in which there is little room available.
The input of the amplifier is electronically balanced. For special needs, for example in case of particu-
larly long connecting lines or lines prone to interference, it is possible to isolate the input galvanically
by means of an optional TM92 card equipped with a line transformer.
Each amplifier is equipped with a diagnostics card able to provide a high number of additional fun-
ctions (line impedance measurements, amplifier diagnostics, check of integrity of the loudspeaker
line, volume control, selection of two inputs, failure-signalling relay control, possibility of including a
‘LOW CUT’ filter, operation in the ‘LOW POWER’ energy-saving mode).
In addition to all the operations and/or checks set locally by means of the micro-switches, it will also
be possible to alter all the parameters via the TS485 serial interface.
Models AXF120-HV and AXF240-HV have four inputs with RJ45 sockets on the lower panel: one
input for a B711-G microphone station (BASE) and three auxiliary inputs (AUX1, AUX2 and AUX3).
These inputs, which are electronically balanced, are switched to one another and have their own
order of priority: the BASE input has priority over inputs AUX1/2/3, input AUX1 over AUX2/3 and input AUX2 over AUX3. On each of them, switching
of the inputs takes place by means of a positive power supply from outside. There is a voltage on sockets AUX1/2/3 that is cut off in the event of
failure of the amplifier or if it is switched off. This enables operation of the amplifier to be monitored from a remote station. There is a ‘busy’ signal on
sockets AUX 2 and AUX 3 when the BASE input or the AUX 1 input are active.

systems for hearing-aid wearers. Most modern hearing aids have a
two-position switch, the positions being marked “M” and “T”. Position LAX800 Current amplifier up to 800 mq
“M” is for “normal” listening through the microphone. Position “T” (Te-
lecoil) is for inductive sound reception, through a special coil built into
the hearing aid.
LAX50 Current amplifier up to 50 mq
The output from the current amplifier feeds a loop made of suitably
insulated normal copper wire positioned on the perimeter within which
to broadcast sound. The current running through the loop generates
a variable magnetic field in the room that is “induced” in the coil of
the hearing aid. As a rule, this magnetic field is sufficiently strong to
enable the person to move about freely, still enjoying a comfortable
level of reception.

PA6000 range | CMDS (Compact Music Distribution System)
Amplified Sinto-CD/mp3 and USB/SD Card player • 6 output zones
Connection of stations
With the compact systems of the PA6000 range, connecting a
PMB106-G microphone station, so as to enable messages to be sent
to one or more receiving zones is simple and quickly done. It is es-
sential to use SFTP CAT.5E shielded cables (IN UNITS input), and it is
possible to connect up to 16 stations in cascade fashion over a maxi-
mum distance of up to 1 km. If necessary, the bases can be powered
by means of their rear-panel sockets. The output level is adjustable by
means of the appropriate front-panel control (MIC/UNITS).
Configuration micro-switches
The main feature of the PA6000 range is the presence of micro-
switches on the rear panel enabling the settings of all the operational
parameters of the equipment to be checked and/or changed. Speci-
fically, it is possible to manage priorities among the various different
audio inputs, to enable a warning signal, to enable VOX (automatic
activation) of the MIC1 input and to programme the zones for calls by
means of a precedence contact and from the telephone/emergency
input.
Telephone/Emergency Input
There is a special audio input (TEL/EMERG) on the rear terminal block,
balanced with a transformer and with automatic activation of prece-
dence (VOX). Controls for adjusting the level and the activation th-
reshold are provided on the rear panel. This input can be used for
connecting the appropriate audio output of a telephone switchboard.
Multi-function module
Each unit of the PA6000 range has a multi-function module with a
tuner/ CD/MP3 player that also enables external devices such as SD/
MMC cards to be played and an USB storage unit.
The module has a display for indicating the presence or lack of CD/
SD/MMC/USB media, the chosen functions, information about the
tracks and the type of tuning selected. All the keys needed for control
of the module are accessible on the front panel: selection of the device
to be used, controls for playing out the tracks in the normal module,
programming functions for listening to the pieces of music, repeating
them or playing them out in random order. The AM/FM tuner can be
used for automatic or hand tuning and for storage of 10 programmes
in both bands.
