Whirlwind MIPAID 2 Gang Media Input Active Wall Plate without Power Supply, White

Make your audio installations seamless and professional with the Whirlwind MIPAID 2 Gang Media Input Active Wall Plate. This sophisticated device is engineered to effortlessly blend line and microphone input sources into a pristine line-level balanced output. Ideal for environments such as gymnasiums, banquet halls, and conference centers, the MIPAID wall plate ensures local volume control is always at your fingertips for source material.

Crafted for versatility, the MIPAID comes in a sleek two-gang white decor insert, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. Each unit operates as an independent two-channel mixer, featuring a balanced mic level input through a 3-pin female XLR and a stereo auxiliary input via a 3.5mm TRS unbalanced jack, which is intelligently summed to mono. Separate level controls for each input allow for precise sound customization, providing ample gain to drive even the most powerful amplifiers to their full potential.

To enhance audio clarity, the MIPAID includes a bass cut switch on the microphone input to minimize rumble and handling noise, ensuring your audio remains crisp and clear. The rear panel hosts additional line input screw terminals, facilitating the connection of multiple MIPAID plates in a daisy-chain configuration. This allows for the summing of inputs across three plates, with six level controls to manage the inputs, maintaining a maximum output drive level of +22dB.

When utilizing multiple MIPAID plates simultaneously, it's crucial to monitor the total summed output level to prevent sum bus clipping. The unit's dual LED indicators provide visual feedback for signal levels at -10dB and +10dB, allowing for easy monitoring of audio levels. The last MIPAID in the chain will display the signal level on its LEDs, even without an active input to that specific plate.

For added convenience, all connected MIPAID plates can be powered from a single power supply located in the equipment rack, eliminating the need for multiple power sources. The Whirlwind MIPAO or MIPAT output termination boxes can be used for a seamless connection to processing electronics. The audio output is accessible via a 3-pin male XLR or screw terminals, while a 2.1mm power input jack provides a pass-through for wall power supply to the MIPAID screw terminal connections.

Installation is made easy with a recommended electrical backbox depth of 2.5 inches for gangable box types and 2.125 inches for utility box types. The output connections on the rear circuit board are 8 position, 3.5mm screw type, removable plugs, compatible with Phoenix 1984073 or equivalent. The rear panel line input comes with a shorting jumper termination, which can be removed to connect additional MIPAID plates.

The Whirlwind MIPAID 2 Gang Media Input Active Wall Plate is the perfect integration of functionality and style for any professional audio setup, ensuring that your installations are not only efficient but also aesthetically pleasing.
