PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Page Input Connections The PAGE INPUT is a mic/line input with a trigger contact closure. This input signal is routed to all outputs (including AUX OUT) when the trigger is detected. This is designed for push-to-talk paging microphones and telephone paging systems. See the diagrams below for input wiring configurations.
