Description
C-TEC APXM/M Dual Input XLR Microphone & Dual Phono Input Plate – Outreach Series
The C-TEC APXM/M is a dual-function audio input wall plate that integrates the capabilities of both an XLR microphone input and a dual phono line-level input into a single double gang unit. Designed as part of C-TEC’s patented Outreach Plate audio input extension system, this plate is ideal for expanding the audio input flexibility of induction loop or professional audio systems.
Key Features:
- Combined Input Support: Features both a 3-pin XLR microphone input (accepts balanced/unbalanced microphones) and dual phono (RCA) line-level inputs in one plate.
- Dual-Gang Design: Provides a cleaner, space-saving installation compared to separate single-gang plates.
- System Compatibility: Works with all C-TEC PDA series induction loop amplifiers, including PDA102, 200E, Pro-Range, and ML1 models.
- Third-Party Integration: Can interface with non-C-TEC audio or loop systems using the APV 24V 250mA DC power supply.
- Outreach Plate Network: Supports daisy-chaining up to 10 Outreach plates on a single balanced line-level input. Typical cable runs of up to 100m are achievable using two-pair audio cable (e.g., Belden 8723).
- Technical Design: Each plate includes a built-in mixer, preamplifier, input level control, and balanced output.
- Mounting Compatibility: Fits standard UK 25mm deep double-gang back boxes.
Wiring Requirements:
Requires four connections – Line/A +, Line/A –, Ground (GND), and Power (V+ = 12–32V DC).
For systems without native Outreach compatibility, an APXO 3-pin XLR balanced output plate can be used in conjunction with an APV power supply for seamless integration.
