Page |2 SAFETY Installation. Unless otherwise stated TSL equipment may be installed at any angle or position within an operating temperature range of 5 - 30C. All TSL equipment conforms to the EC Low Voltage Directive: EC Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)(OJ L76 26.3.73)(LVD). Amendment: (93/68/EEC) (OJ L220 30.8.93). In all cases the frame of the equipment must be earthed on installation. Where appropriate, the earth pin on the IEC mains inlet connector is connected to the metal frame of the equipment, to 0 volts on the internal DC PSU and to signal ground unless otherwise stated. All metal panels are bonded together. Check that the voltage selector setting (if fitted) and the fuse rating is correct for the local mains supply. Due consideration for cooling requirements must be given when mounting the equipment. It is recommended that a 1RU of rack space, or a vent panel, should be left above and below the unit.
WARRANTY, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR MPA1 New Model (ASB+, ASC+ and 3G)
User Handbook One Issue 2b
Page |3 All TSL products have a one year warranty period starting from the date it leaves the factory. A repair warranty is to apply. That is, the product is to be returned for repair with no replacement and an exchange shipping policy is also to apply. TSL offers a seven day DOA policy together with an exchange shipping policy. That is, if a product has been declared ‘dead on arrival’ within a seven day period a warranty replacement will be shipped. A temporary replacement may be available where, for operational reasons, it is imperative that service is continued. The customer will be asked to enter into a ‘loan agreement’ for the duration of repair. All faulty equipment returned to TSL for repair will, where possible, be returned to the customer within seven working days.
TSL Returns Procedure Please telephone +44 (0)1628 676221 (Fax: +44 (0)1682 676299) and ask for Customer Support, detailing the model and serial number of the equipment, who will provide a Returns Number. This will enable us to track the unit effectively and will provide some information prior to the unit arriving. For each item, this unique Returns Number must be included with the Fault Report sent with the unit. A contact name and telephone number are also required with the Fault Report sent with the unit. Fault report details required.
Company: Name: Address: Contact Name: Telephone number: Fax number: Email address: Returns Number: Symptoms of the fault (to include switch setting positions, input signals etc):
Packing Please ensure that the unit is well packed as all mechanical damage is chargeable. TSL recommends that you insure your equipment for transit damage. The original packaging, when available, should always be used when returning equipment. If returned equipment is received in a damaged condition, the damage should be reported both to TSL and the carrier immediately.

Introduction
The Monitor Plus Audio (MPA) series of confidence monitoring units from TSL Products is designed to meet the exacting demands of the modern broadcaster or sound professional without compromising quality and performance at the expense of value for money. Designed for use throughout the entire broadcast facility, the latest addition to the MPA family comprise four different Analogue models as well as the benchmark setting MPA1 3G, the world’s most cost effective de-embedding confidence monitor. All five products are based around the same common hardware platform with similar functionality, form factor and high quality loudspeaker / amplifier combination. If you need to monitor analogue signal or check embedded audio for compliance and quality, MPA1 provides solutions which will not let you down. As with any new product which relies on complex software, it is possible that you may find minor bugs or perhaps think of enhancements which would improve the operation of your MPA1. In the event of either scenario, please feel free to contact TSL via your local reseller or directly on +44 1628-676221, asking for the MPA Product Manager. The new MPA1 products covered by this handbook comprise the following; MPA1 ASC+
2 channel stereo analogue audio without bargraph indication
MPA1 ASC-8
8 channel stereo analogue audio without bargraph indication
MPA1 ASB+
2 channel stereo analogue audio with bargraph indication
MPA1 ASB-8
8 channel stereo analogue audio with bargraph indication
MPA1 3G
16 channel de-embedded audio with bargraph indication

Multi-function encoder operation
The ‘pair’ selector performs a number of functions as well as simply selecting the input pair you wish to listen to. By the varied use of the push function the following functions can be actioned.
Rotate – Select the audio pair you wish to listen to (last position selected upon fast rotate)
Short Push (< 3 seconds) – The audio outputs are muted (loudspeaker, variable line and headphones). This function is signalled by a flashing power indicator (illuminated TSL logo)
Long Push (>3 seconds <6 seconds) – This toggles between Fixed and Variable line out (XLR connectors). The decimal point adjacent to the seven segment channel indicator displays the current mode ‘On’ = Fixed ‘Off’ = Variable IMPORTANT NOTE- Internal loudspeakers are automatically muted when the MPA1 XLR outputs are set to variable mode
Long Push (> 6 seconds) This action enters a calibration mode which allows the user to select their bargraph reference level. There are 13 settings providing a range from 12dbFS to -24dbFS with display settings denoting the following reference selections Seven Segment Display 0 = -12dBFS Seven Segment Display 1 = -13dBFS Seven Segment Display 2 = -14dBFS Seven Segment Display 3 = -15dBFS Seven Segment Display 4 = -16dBFS Seven Segment Display 5 = -17dBFS Seven Segment Display 6 = -18dBFS Seven Segment Display 7 = -19dBFS Seven Segment Display 8 = -20dBFS Seven Segment Display 9 = -21dBFS Seven Segment Display A = -22dBFS Seven Segment Display b = -23dBFS Seven Segment Display C = -24dBFS
