2.4 Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Amplifier Output Connections: Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You may use crimp-on spade lugs for your output connectors. Slip the cable lugs under the output screw terminals and tighten (Figure 2.7). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insu late exposed loudspeaker cable connectors. Cover the output connections with the supplied non-touch cover.

Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker. The wire sizes apply to the 4-ohm tap.

Distance up to 25 ft.	Wire Size 16 AWG
25-40 ft.	14 AWG
41-60 ft.	12 AWG
61-100 ft.	10 AWG
101-150 ft.	8 AWG
151-250 ft.	6 AWG

NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel. Class 2 wiring is required.

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output power wiring.

Use 2-conductor shielded cable and a 3-pin Phoenix-type connector for Preamp Line Output (Figure 2.7), and for MOH 1V or 1W output (Figure 2.8).

Use 1-conductor shielded cable and RCA plugs for the Stereo Line Out connector and the MOH 1V Line Output RCA Connector (Figure 2.9).

Figure 2.9 Connections to the Stereo Line Out Connector and the MOH Stereo Line Out Connector

2 Setup

2.5 Wire Your System

Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure 2.11.

INPUTS: Connect microphones or balanced line-level sources to mixer-amplifier balanced inputs. Set Mic/Line switches accordingly. Connect unbalanced line-level signals to RCA input connectors.

OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/-) on amplifier output connectors.

Connect the Amplifier or Output screw terminals to loudspeakers. Use terminals marked COM and 25V or 70V for constant-voltage loudspeaker loads, such as the JBL Control 1ST speaker included with the 180MAX Pack. Use terminals marked 4-ohms for one 4-ohm speaker or two 8-ohm speakers in parallel. Connect 70V speakers or 4-8 ohm speakers to the 180MAX, but not both, as this would over drive the amplifier.

Connect the COM terminal to speaker negative (−) lead; connect one of the other terminals to speaker positive (+) lead.

2.6 Phantom Power

Condenser mics require phantom power to operate. If you are using a condenser microphone with the 180MAx on input 1, turn on the Phantom Power Switch on the back of the mixer-amplifier. The microphone must be able to work on 15V phantom power, which the 180MAx mic input connector provides.

2.7 Link In/Out Switch

This switch (Figure 2.11) affects which signals are heard when another mixer is wired to the mixer-amplifier.

IN: Any signal applied to the AMP INPUT connector will be mixed with the input signal(s).

OUT: Only the signal from the AMP INPUT connector will appear at the amplifier output.

How to link another mixer to your mixer-amplifier:

Connect the extra mixer's LINE OUT connector to the mixer-amplifier's AMP INPUT connector. Set the Link switch to IN.

How to set up Music-On-Hold output:

Connect mixer-amp LINE OUT to Music-On-Hold input on telephone system Interface/PBX. Set the LINK SWITCH to IN.

How to set up a processing loop:

4 Troubleshooting

CONDITION: No power.

POSSIBLE REASON:

• The mixer-amplifier's Power switch is off.
- The mixer-amplifier is not plugged into the power receptacle.
- The mixer-amplifier's high-voltage power supply circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that the AC mains voltage is correct, then press the Reset button on the back panel.

CONDITION: Distorted sound.

POSSIBLE REASON:

• Input signal level is too high. Turn down your input volume controls. NOTE: Your mixer-amplifi or should never be operated at a level which causes the Clip LED to illuminate constantly.
  • Master volume level is too high. Turn it down to about 3/4 of maximum level.

CONDITION: No sound.

POSSIBLE REASON:

- The amplifier or is in "fault" mode. A Fault status can be triggered when one of the amplifier's protection circuits is activated. First disconnect your speakers from the affected channel(s) one by one to determine if one of the loads is shorted. If an amplifier channel has a thermal fault, there will be no indication on the front panel, but the amp will recover after cooling. If operation does not return to normal after restarting your amp, press the Reset button on the back panel, or return mixer-amp to Crown or an authorized Crown Service Center for servicing.

• No input signal.
  • Input signal level is very low.
