Please read and follow all safety instructions carefully to prevent injury or damage to the amplifier. Conservare questo manuale per future consultazioni.
- Fonte di energia: Collegare il amplifier solo al volume di alimentazione specificatotage. Assicurarsi che il cavo di alimentazione non sia danneggiato o schiacciato.
- Ventilazione: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit.
- Acqua e umidità: Non esporre l'apparecchio a pioggia o umidità. Non posizionare oggetti contenenti liquidi, come vasi, sull'apparecchio.
- Calore: Non installare vicino a fonti di calore come radiatori, bocchette di riscaldamento, stufe o altri apparecchi (inclusi amplificatori) che producono calore.
- Manutenzione: Non tentare di riparare questo prodotto da soli. Affidare qualsiasi intervento di assistenza a personale qualificato. L'assistenza è necessaria quando l'apparecchio ha subito danni di qualsiasi tipo, ad esempio se il cavo di alimentazione o la spina sono danneggiati, se è stato versato del liquido o sono caduti oggetti al suo interno, se l'apparecchio è stato esposto a pioggia o umidità, se non funziona normalmente o se è caduto.
- Pulizia: Scollegare il prodotto dalla presa a muro prima di pulirlo. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o spray. Utilizzare adamp panno per la pulizia.
4. Configurazione e connessioni
Prima di collegare qualsiasi componente, assicurarsi che amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the mains supply. Refer to the diagram below for a visual guide to the front panel controls.

4.1 Collegamenti di ingresso
- Microphone/Auxiliary Inputs: IL amplifier accepts inputs from two sound sources. Connect your microphones or auxiliary devices (e.g., CD player, media player) to the designated input jacks on the rear panel. Ensure proper cable types (e.g., XLR for microphones, RCA for auxiliary) are used.
- Telephone Line Input: Connect a 600 ohm telephone line to the dedicated input. This input has its own level control for adjusting the volume of telephone audio.
4.2 Collegamenti di uscita
- Uscite altoparlanti: Connect your speakers to the appropriate output terminals on the rear panel. The amplifier supports 4, 8, and 16 ohm speaker loads. Ensure the impedance of your speakers matches the selected output terminals.
- Volume costantetage Uscite: For distributed audio systems, connect speakers to the 70 volt or 25 volt line outputs as required. Ensure all speakers in a constant voltage system are compatible with the chosen voltage.
- Music on Hold Output: Connect your music on hold system to this output. It provides both a 600 ohm line output and a one watt 8 ohm output, each with separate level control.
4.3 Collegamento di alimentazione
Once all audio connections are made, connect the amplifier's power cord to a suitable AC power outlet. Ensure the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position before plugging in.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
This section details the functions of the front panel controls and key features of the PBM-30 amppiù vivace.
5.1 Controlli del pannello frontale
- Interruttore di ALIMENTAZIONE: This is the main power switch for the amplifier. Press to turn the unit ON or OFF. The indicator light will illuminate when the unit is powered on.
- MIC 1 Control: Adjusts the volume level for the microphone connected to Input 1.
- MIC 2/AUX Control: Adjusts the volume level for the microphone connected to Input 2 or the auxiliary audio source.
- Controllo BASSI: Adjusts the low-frequency (bass) response of the audio output. Turn clockwise to increase bass, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Controllo ALTI: Adjusts the high-frequency (treble) response of the audio output. Turn clockwise to increase treble, counter-clockwise to decrease.
5.2 Auto Mute Function
The auto-mute function automatically mutes background music or other audio when a signal is detected on a priority input (e.g., a microphone input for announcements). This ensures that announcements are clear and audible without interference from other audio sources. The sensitivity and priority of the auto-mute function may be configured via internal jumpers or rear panel controls, if available (refer to detailed wiring diagrams for specific setup).
5.3 Manual Muting Contacts
IL amplifier includes manual muting contacts, allowing for external control of the muting function. These contacts can be wired to an external switch or control system to manually mute audio output when activated. Consult the wiring diagram in the full technical manual for proper connection of these contacts.
5.4 Music on Hold (MOH) Output
The dedicated Music on Hold output allows you to feed background music to a telephone system's MOH input. Use the separate level control to adjust the volume of the music being sent to the telephone system.
6. Manutenzione
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Speco PBM-30 amppiù vivace.
- Pulizia: Pulire regolarmente l'esterno del amplifier with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents.
- Ventilazione: Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris. Periodically check that nothing is obstructing the airflow around the unit.
- Magazzinaggio: Se si memorizza il amplificatore per un periodo prolungato, scollegarlo dall'alimentazione, pulirlo e conservarlo in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
- Ispezione: Periodically inspect power cords and audio cables for any signs of damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Se riscontri problemi con il tuo amplifier, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps. If the problem persists, contact qualified service personnel.
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessun potere | Power cord unplugged; Power switch off; Blown fuse; Power outlet fault. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in; Turn power switch ON; Check and replace fuse if necessary (refer to service manual); Test power outlet with another device. |
| Nessuna uscita audio | Volume controls too low; Incorrect input selected; Speaker connections loose or incorrect; Mute function active. | Increase MIC/AUX volume controls; Verify input source is active; Check all speaker wiring for secure and correct connections; Check manual muting contacts or auto-mute settings. |
| Suono distorto | Input signal too high (clipping); Speaker impedance mismatch; Damaged speaker or cable. | Ridurre il livello del segnale di ingresso; Assicurarsi che l'impedenza degli altoparlanti corrisponda amplifier output; Test with different speakers or cables to isolate the issue. |
| Ronzio/ronzio | Loop di terra; Collegamenti allentati; Interferenze da altri dispositivi elettronici. | Ensure all equipment is on the same electrical circuit; Check all audio cable connections; Move amplifier lontano da altri dispositivi elettronici. |
