Volume Control Unit
The Volume Control Unit (VCU), a Rowelink module, should be mounted remotely (behind
bar, etc.). The 100-foot modular cable (included) can be connected between the unit and
P5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 on the Rowelink Controller. It displays and controls the volume of the
amplifier channels and microphones. If an existing 100 foot cable is already in place, you
can use the 3-wire or 4-wire (see Figure 3-7) alternate wiring.
• The POWER button turns the NiteHAWK Jukebox lights, touch-screen monitor and Bill
Acceptor ON or OFF.
• The REJECT button rejects the selection playing.
• The FUTURE button adds credits toward selections (See “Credit Management” in the
Operator Setup Screens Manual).
• The MODE key toggles between channels and microphones.
• The VCU also raises or lowers the volume of the channel(s) or microphone using the UP
DOWN keys. The volume range is 0 to 63. Channel Volume is displayed when the
mode LED is off, and microphone volume is displayed when the mode LED is on.
The CH, MIC, and SINGER LEDs indicate what volume is being displayed. When
adjusting channel volume, if more than one LED is on, it means those channels have the
same volume. All four channels have the same volume when shipped from the factory
(see Section 3 of the included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup
Screens” manual for other possible configurations).
4 Channel Preamplifier
This Rowelink module transforms audio signals from the core computer, microphones, and
other sound processors/equipment/systems into signals for the Power Amplifier. It also
contains Automatic Volume Control (AVC) to adjust for varying recording levels and tone
controls, via 5-band equalizers. All adjustments and options are programmable via the
touch-screen and are retained on the Core Computer hard drive (see Section 3 of the
included “Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator Setup Screens” manual for setup
information).
1000-Watt Audio Digital Power Amplifier
The 2-channel digital audio power amplifier is rated 1000 watts RMS (500 per channel) into
a 2-ohm load. The full volume output voltage is 32 volts.
The amplifier is protected against overloads and short circuits. Continuous severe
overloads or shorts may shut down the amplifier (or a channel) but will not damage it. If the
overload is removed a signal will reset the amplifier when the next selection plays.
Audio Output Transformers
The output transformers “step up” the power amplifiers output voltage for 70-volt extension
speakers. They also provide screw connections for selecting different power levels for
extension speakers.
