5. BACK PANEL
The back panel features the following connections:
Mains, fuse and power switch
Due to the switched mode power supply, the operating voltage range is 90V – 264V AC, with a
frequency between 47Hz and 63Hz. Before powering up the unit, make sure that the DAM514 is
correctly connected to ground in a facility that complies with local regulations.
Input and output connectors
The DAM514 has the following audio input connections:
INPUT1 to INPUT3: unbalanced stereo connection, with 1/8" jack on the front panel (only
INPUT1) and dual RCA on the rear panel. They're designed for -6 dBV and 0 dBV nominal
signals, an internal jumper allowing to adjust the sensitivity (see section 12. SETUP
DIAGRAM). They can receive signals from CD players, radio tuners, mixing consoles, media
players, audio outputs of computers and tablets, etc.
INPUT 4 & 5 (MIC): dual (MIC/LINE) balanced Euroblock type connections on back panel,
designed for a signal level between 30 dBV and 0 dBV (LINE level), or between 20 dBV and -50
dBV (MIC level), with an ADJ control to adjust the sensitivity. They can operate independently
(mono) or be linked as a fourth stereo input for the unit, depending on the operating template or
preset selected from the unit's preset recall menu, EclerCOMM Manager application software, a
wall panel remote control, etc.
Note: turntables CAN'T BE DIRECTLY CONNECTED to this unit because none of the inputs has
a RIAA preamplifier.
The DAM514 signal output is performed through four balanced 3-pin Euroblock connectors
(ZONE A, B, C and D).
PAGER connector
Allows the connection of a MPAGE4 console (optional) to send voice messages with zone
selection in real time (paging).
The connected console will use the INPUT5 channel, in LINE mode, for the management of the
PAGER function (see the MPAGE4 console manual for more details).
You need to correctly setup the PAGER mode for Input 5 to enable this feature, from the device
setup menu (front keys and LCD display) or from EclerCOMM Manager application software (see
chapter 7 for more information).
REMOTE connectors
The REMOTE connectors 1 to 4 allow you to control, from a WPm series wall panel or similar (0-
10VDC), the volume of one or several inputs, or the volume of one or several outputs simultaneously, to
select sources or presets, etc. The inputs or outputs controlled by each REMOTE port are selected using
either the device setup menu (front keys and LCD display) or EclerCOMM Manager application software
(see chapter 9 for more information).
The WPm series wall panels must be configured with their internal jumpers in 10V / LIN position.
