Question:   Can you tell me if the external speaker jack is configured so that the external speaker is wired in parallel or in series with the internal speaker?
Answer:   They are all wired the same way-in series to protect amplifier getting busted during low impedance.

Question:   How many extension speakers can I connect to an MA705PA, an MA707PA, or an MA808PA?
Answer:   You can only connect one extension speaker to PA's as there is no "loop through" connectors on the extension speakers.

Question:   Can I adjust the volume on the MA101 / MA101a / MA101c's line input?
Answer:   No. The line input is actually an "amp in" and will play at full volume.
Use a device with a variable audio out such as portable CD players or iPods to control the volume through the input.

Question:   My MA808PA sounds great when it’s used by itself, but when I connect my MA808EXP expansion speaker I lose the high or the low frequencies.
Answer:   Make certain that you are using the correct interconnecting cable. This is a biamped system. Two signals must be passed, "in series", from the main unit to the EXP speaker. This can only be accomplished if you have a straight through Speakon 4 conductor cable. Be certain that your pins are configured: 1+ to 1+, 1- to 1-, 2+ to 2+, 2- to 2-. Your connector may have 4 contacts in it, but may only be connected to a two conductor cable. This is quite common. S114NN10 and S114NN50 are common 4 conductor Speakon cables by ProCo (10ft and 50ft respectively).

Question:   Can I use my MIPRO VHF or UHF single channel / fixed frequency modular receivers in the MIPRO PA speakers?
Answer:   If you have a matched VHF or UHF single channel / fixed frequency transmitter / receiver, you can use it in the MA707PA. But they will not work in the other PA speakers. Instead look for the UHF MRM-70 UFH multi-channel receiver modules. These provide 16 user-selectable (auto-scanable) frequencies and will work in any of the current MIPRO PA speakers.

Question:   What size speaker mount hole is on the bottom of the Mipro PA Systems? And can I use any tripod speaker stand?
Answer:   The hole is 1-1/2" with ridges so a 1-1/8" standard tripod speaker stand work fine.
While many brands like Ultimate Support and more can be used, Starin offers a standard tripod speaker stand at a great price:
MS-70: Works on the MA705PA, MA705EXP, MA707PA, MA707EXP, MA708PA, MA708EXP, MA808PA and the MA808EXP models
MS-30: Works on the MA101a and MA101c

Question:   Are the MA705PA and MA707PA able to operate permanently on AC?
Answer:   The MA705 should be fine plugged in full time as it does have current sensing and will not over charge your batteries.

The MA707 would work plugged in permanently but you would need to unplug one lead of one of the batteries or they would get over-charged. Also, the MA707 uses the batteries even when the AC power is applied. It works fine when operated on the AC power and with the batteries out of the circuit, but if you are going to play it loudly, you may not have the extra amperage needed for the very loud portions as the batteries are capable of supplying more current than the power supply itself. A good analogy would be if you are familiar with car stereo installations, large 1farad capacitors are often connected directly across the power input to the power amps to supply adequate current during a peak volume spike. The batteries in the MA707 and MA705 provide the same backup peak current supply.

One other thing to consider is there are fans in the power supplies and if they are plugged in all of the time the fans will eventually get noisy and later on they would stop spinning and cooling. This could take years… or month's...

Bottom line is they will work but that is not what they are specifically designed for.
