Louroe Electronics MLA-6 Manuale utente
The MLA-6 and MLA-8 are microphone mixers with six and eight audio inputs and one audio output
respectively. They are designed to combine up to six and eight microphones (or up to four
speaker/microphones) to expand the listening area of an audio zone. The MLA-8 is located between the
microphones (or speaker/microphones) and the Louroe base station. In addition, it has a line driver amplifier
that allows for runs up to 5,000 ft. between the MLA-8 and the Louroe base station and up to 1,000 ft. between
the MLA-8 and the remote microphone (or speaker/microphone) for a total of 6,000 ft.

MODEL MLA-8
RCA CABLE
THIS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION APPLIES
TO BOTH MLA-6 AND MLA-8 (SHOWN). THE MLA-8
IS USED IN THIS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
INPUT CONNECTIONS TO MLA-8
MICROPHONE CONNECTION:
At the top part of the PC board are 8 Terminal blocks marked 1 through 8 (for 8 zones). Each terminal
block has 5 Pins marked - A, B, C, SP and G . Bring in wire from remote microphone (or
speaker/microphone) and connect as follows:
Pin A (12 Vdc) from remote microphone to Pin A of MIC 1 terminal block of MLA-8(red wire)
Pin B (audio) from remote microphone to Pin B of MIC 1 terminal block of MLA-8(black wire)
Pin C (ground) from remote microphone to Pin C of MIC 1 terminal block of MLA-8.(bare wire)
Repeat connections for ZONE 2 to ZONE 8.
Use 2 Cond Shielded cable (see page1) if only microphones are to be connected.
SPEAKER CONNECTION (used only if microphone/speaker units are being connected):
Green wire from speaker to Pin SP of MIC1 terminal block of MLA-8
White wire from speaker to Pin G of MIC 1 terminal block of MLA-8
Repeat this connections for the rest of the zones.
Use 4 Cond shielded cable such as West Penn 356 (see page1) if microphone/speaker units are used.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
For Cable runs 1,000’ and under
If the total distance from the remote microphone (or speaker/microphone) to the MLA-8 Mixer and on to the
Louroe Base Station is under 1,000 ft., the MLA-8 will receive 12Vdc power from the base station. No
power is required at the MLA-8.
For Cable runs 1,000 to 5,000’
If cable run between MLA-8 and Louroe Base Station is over 1,000 ft and up to 5,000 ft, 12 Vdc power is
required. An input jack for power is located on MLA-8 chassis. For this length of run, MLA-8 should be
mounted within 1,000’ of the microphone.
IMPORTANT NOTE
1. If Model MLA-8 Mixer is to be powered for a cable run between 1,000 ft. and 5,000 ft. from the Louroe base
station, do not use terminal “A” connection between the MLA-8 and the Louroe base station.
2For cable runs that exceed 1000 ft or up to 5,000 ft, MLA-8 Mixer should not be positioned more then 1,000
ft. from the Louroe microphone or speaker/microphone.
NOTE: If alternate power supply is
used, DO NOT USE POWER
SUPPLY IN BASE STATION

OUTPUT CONNECTION FROM MLA-8 MIXER TO LOUROE BASE STATION
(Note: Power supply of the MLA-8 must not be used when connecting to a Louroe base station if the
distance is less than 1000’.)
MICROPHONE CONNECTION:
Located at the bottom of the PC Board is a single 3-pin terminal block marked “AUDIO OUT” and
contains three pins marked A, B, C using the shielded portion of recommended cable connect as
follows:
Red wire goes to Pin “A” (12Vdc)
Black wire goes to Pin “B” (Audio Output)
Bare wire goes to Pin “C” (ground)
SPEAKER CONNECTION:
Applies only if speaker/microphones are being connected. If remote units are microphones only, skip
this step and use the recommended cable shown in page 1.
The speaker input connection utilizes the 2-pin terminal block marked “SPEAKER”.
Pin marked “SP” of MLA-8 (green wire) connects to Pin “SP” also of terminal block at the base
station
Pin marked “G” of MLA-8 (white wire) connects to Pin “G” of terminal block at the base station
For connections to the speaker inputs of the Louroe base station, please refer to the specific
installation instructions for that model.
OUTPUT CONNECTION FROM MLA-8 MIXER TO OTHER RECEIVING DEVICES SUCH AS
DVRS, ETC.
(Note: Power supply of the MLA-8 must be used when connecting to receivers other than Louroe base station
Using the recommended cable (2 Cond. Shielded 22 AWG) see page 2 for connecting the microphone
to the input terminal blocks (Zone 1 to 8) MLA-8, matching Pin A to A, B to B and C to C.
The MLA-8 has 2 types of audio outputs.
When using the 3-pin terminal block, connect 2 wires to Pin B and Pin C. Pin B is positive audio which
can be connected to the positive of the audio input of the receiving device. Pin C is ground and can be
connected to the ground of the audio input of the receiver.
The other output is an RCA jack which can be connected to an RCA type input of the receiving device.
Plug in power supply (included) to +12Vdc power jack.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MICROPHONE ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS
On MLA-8 PC board are eight potentiometers (marked 1 thru 8) and one MASTER CONTROL marked “MAIN”.
They are for controlling the microphone gain and have been pre-set at the factory. DO NOT MAKE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS ON THE MLA-8 UNTIL ALL MICROPHONE AND SPEAKER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN
MADE TO THE LOUROE BASE STATION OR OTHER RECEIVING DEVICE.
A. If connected to a sound activated ALARMING BASE STATION (Models DG-25III and DG-12II):
1. First set zone threshold following procedures outlined from base station installation instructions.
2. If the zone is too sensitive and goes into alarm unnecessarily, adjust MASTER CONTROL
potentiometer on MLA-8 board (marked “MAIN”) 1/8 of a turn counterclockwise. If still too
sensitive, decrease by 1/8 turn counterclockwise until desired sensitivity is attained. In the
event zone is not sensitive enough, adjust master control potentiometer 1/8 turn clockwise.
Repeat if necessary.
3. If it is determined that a particular microphone within the zone is too sensitive, adjust the correct
potentiometer (marked 1 thru 8) counterclockwise 1/8 turn. Repeat 1/8 turn as necessary.
B. If MLA-8 is connected to a NON-ALARMING LOUROE BASE STATION (APR-1, AP-2,
AP-4, AP-8, AP-12TB or AP-16TB). Potentiometer adjustment is usually unnecessary.
EXCEPTION: If microphones are overdriving DVR/VCR or other external equipment, adjust master control
potentiometer 1/8 turn counterclockwise to reduce microphone sensitivity. Repeat if necessary.
