The FP-MPA2 is the ideal choice in any applications where phantom power needs to be provided to powered microphones.

Two identical circuits are provided, with connections through XLR jacks. The microphone is connected to the module through the female XLR jack. The selected phantom voltage is applied to this jack. The microphone signal output is available on a male XLR. Phantom is blocked from this output jack. The phantom voltage is individually selectable for each input. A three position switch is provided for choosing 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc or 48 Vdc. Some microphones operating on 24 Vdc phantom perform optimally with higher value buildout resistances. For these particular 24 Vdc powered microphones, a second switch is provided to select the optimum current. The appropriate voltages are generated through a low-noise dc-dc converter and regulator circuits. Each phantom output is short-circuit protected.

The FP-MPA2's low profile and compact size permit mounting in confined spaces and in various locations in equipment racks. The location of the input/output jacks permits high-density mounting against flat surfaces while maintaining accessibility to the connectors. Installations requiring multiple FP-MPA2s are ideally designed using FP-MPA2s affixed to rack sides, or by mounting them to either the front or rear rack rails using the RDL FP-RRA.

FLAT-PAK SERIES

FLAT-PAK products are high performance application-specific A/V, recording and broadcast modules constructed in compact, low-profile, shielded heavy duty metal chassis'. Module functions include pre-amplification, format conversion, line driving, power amplification, mixing, distribution, equalization, level control and more. The unique FLAT-PAK case can be directly screwed or bolted to cabinets or shelves. Rack mounting accessories permit mounting single or multiple FLAT-PAKs to front or rear rails. Adjacent mounting of FLAT-PAK modules is facilitated by daisy-chaining multiple modules from a single power supply using included power interconnect cables.

FLAT-PAK modules provide the most common connections in professional installations, including gold-plated jacks, detachable and fixed terminal blocks. Bold, high contrast labeling facilitates connection and adjustment in confined or dark locations. LED metering and indicators shorten setup and adjustment time. Signal connectors and switches are very high quality. Circuits are designed for studio quality performance and are engineered for extended service life.

A FLAT-PAK module may be mounted right where its function is needed. Multiple FLAT-PAK and other RDL modules can be used together to form all or part of an A/V system that precisely matches users’ needs. The high performance of these modules and the continuity in product offering and support makes FLAT-PAK modules a preferred long-term resource for system design solutions. FLAT-PAK SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
