Step 4  
Attach inputs to the MPA 122 unit and the audio source and/or  
projector. Ensure that the projector’s audio output is set to variable  
out. Multiple input options (RCA, 3.5 mm stereo input, or captive  
screw) can be used simultaneously; this will result in audio mixing.  
See Inputs in chapter 2 for more information on these audio  
connections.

Introduction  
Volume and mute remote control — The MPA 122 can be  
remotely controlled for volume adjustment and muting  
via connectivity to a rear panel, captive screw “Remote”  
input connector.  
About this Manual  
This manual contains information about the Extron MPA 122  
Mini Power Amplifier with instructions on how to mount and  
operate the unit.  
Flexible mounting options — The MPA 122 can be mounted on  
a rack, projector, or under furniture.  
About the MPA 122  
External international power supply — The autoswitchable,  
12 VDC, 3 A external power supply provides worldwide  
power compatibility (part #70-380-01).  
The Extron MPA 122 Mini Power Amplifier provides 2-channel  
power amplification for speaker systems in applications  
requiring compact, economical audio solutions. The MPA 122  
delivers 11 watts (rms) per channel into 4 ohms and  
7 watts (rms) into 8 ohms. It is optimized for driving four 8  
ohm ceiling speakers, two in parallel, per channel.  
The MPA 122 accepts balanced and unbalanced stereo inputs,  
and provides outputs as stereo or dual mono audio signals.  
Front panel controls are provided for input level, bass, and  
treble. The front panel also features switches for stereo/dual  
mono operation and a limiter switch which automatically  
reduces the gain to prevent distortion (amplifier clipping). The  
MPA 122 features remote control capability for volume  
adjustment and muting. As part of the VersaTools® line, the  
MPA 122 can be housed in a 1U, quarter rack width metal  
enclosure, mounted under a desk, or mounted on a projector.  
Features  
Digital audio amplifier — The MPA 122 features improved,  
class D technology for high efficiency and low distortion.  
Compact size — The MPA 122 is housed in a 1U high, 1/4 rack  
width, 3" deep, metal enclosure, making this amplifier a  
powerful product for many unique applications.  
Balanced and unbalanced audio inputs — Balanced or  
unbalanced stereo input is on a captive screw connector.  
The MPA 122 also includes RCA connectors and a 3.5 mm  
stereo mini jack for unbalanced input.  
Quick plug speaker outputs — Speaker output is on a captive  
screw connector for quick installation.  
Front panel controls — Input level, bass, and treble can be  
easily adjusted from the front panel.  
Limiter switch — The limiter switch prevents output distortion  
(clipping) and potential damage to speakers.  
Stereo/dual mono switch — Fits applications for both stereo  
program speakers or mono ceiling speakers.

2.  
3.  
Attach the mounting brackets to the amplifier with the  
machine screws provided (figure 2-3).  
2.  
Mount the MPA 122 to one of the bracket’s three mounting  
plates. The device can be vertically mounted facing either  
up or down, whichever is most convenient. See the  
illustration below.  
If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the  
interface, remove them.  
Hold the amplifier with the attached brackets against the  
underside of the table or other furniture. Mark the  
location of the screw holes of the bracket on the mounting  
surface.  
Use two supplied 4-40 x 3/16 screws in opposite  
(diagonal) corners to secure the device to the bracket.

Installation and operation, cont’d  
Power input  
On the side mounting plates, devices are typically  
mounted on the outside of the bracket. On the front  
mounting plate, devices are typically mounted on the  
inside of the bracket.  
Power connection — Plug the external 12 VDC power  
supply into this connector. The power supply is included  
with the unit.  
1
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power  
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.  
The front mounting plate is 1/4" taller than the side  
plates. This size helps ensure the accessibility of buttons  
or connectors.  
When connecting the power supply, voltage polarity  
is extremely important. Applying power with  
incorrect voltage polarity could damage the power  
supply and the interface. Identify the power cord  
negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord.  
CAUTION

4.  
Affix the black rubber pad to the mounting plate.  
Place the U-bolt around the ceiling pole and insert the two  
legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes on the  
bracket’s mounting plate and then through the slotted  
holes on the backing brace.

Setting Up the MPA 122 Amplifier  
Audio output  
The following steps ensure optimal sound by adjusting the  
projector volume to match the level, bass, and treble of the  
MPA 122 amplifier.  
Speaker connector — Marked “L” and “R”, this 4-pin, 5 mm  
captive screw connector is used to connect the amplifier to the  
speakers.  
6
When setting up volume control, ensure that the projector  
output is set to variable out. Consult the projector’s user  
manual for detailed instructions on its calibration.  
The recommended MPA 122 output set-up includes 4  
ceiling speakers of 8 ohm impedance, (2 sets in parallel  
with each other), so that each output drives a maximum  
of 4 ohm loads.  
To adjust the MPA 122 input level, bass, and treble, do the  
following:  
Do not tie both L and R outputs to each other and/  
or to input ground. Doing so will short out the  
outputs and damage the amplifier.  
1.  
If connecting to a projector, ensure that the volume on the  
device is at its lowest point, then adjust the level of the  
MPA 122 fully counterclockwise.  
2.  
3.  
Set the projector volume to its maximum volume level.  
No sound should come out.  
Front Panel Features  
Return to the MPA and raise the level until sound  
distortion occurs, then lower the level slightly until any  
distortion disappears. This setting ensures that, whatever  
the projector volume setting may be, no clipping occurs.
