signed for paging and public address applications.
They enable microphone and line-level source
inputs to be integrated into a Nyquist system. The
NQ-PA120 and
NQ-PA240 public
address ampliers
are each a half-rack
1RU high enclosure.
The NQ-PA-600
public address amplier is a half-rack 2RU high en-
closure.
Each enclosure contains a Class D audio power
amplier, a universal switched-mode power supply,
an RJ45 network jack, a USB port, and pluggable
Phoenix style terminals for Mic/line inputs, and
loudspeaker and Line-Out connections.

Notice
The minimum impedance of this 70V/8Ω
High Impedance system should not be less
than 8Ω.
The combined total power of each speaker
tap must not exceed 80% of the rated
amplier power.
Failure to observe minimum speaker
impedance will cause the amplier to self
protect until the speaker conguration is
corrected.
5. If using Mic/Line Input, route the input.
This amplier uses a balanced analog audio
input. You can use either XLR or Phoenix (but
not both) as the input.
6. Plug the power line cord into the power
source.
7. Toggle the Power switch to the On position.
