9.4. Remote Control Equipment Connections
Use the supplied Small type removable terminal plug (5 pins) for connection.
9.4.1. Manual muting terminal connections
If a no-voltage contact is connected, closing the contact allows the pre-determined input channel volume to be
reduced by a preset level of attenuation.
If a microphone with a contact is connected as shown in Connection Example 2 (p. 12), the audio of other
channels will be muted for as long as the microphone’s talk switch is pressed.
Use the A-5000 PC Software to enable or disable this function, select the input channel, and set the attenuation.
For details, please read the software instruction manual on the supplied CD.
