1 - Présentation
MicroPlayer MKII reads WAV and MP3 audio files. This standalone player can read files automatically
according to a broadcast schedule or upon triggering by external events (input dry contact, RS232,…).
Files are stored on a SD/SDHC memory card or on a USB flash drive.
MicroPlayer MKII broadcasts music, sounds or messages in many environments like museums,
showrooms, shop windows, attractions,touristic places, exhibitions..
2 - Functionalities
Interactivity: MicroPlayerMKII is an interactive player that reacts depending on events.
- Playback pattern is defined by the name of files or folders
- Electrical contacts: 4 inputs combinable up to 15 inputs to trigger files through sensors, push-
buttons,relays …
- 2 outputs can control Leds, relays, motors or any other external equipment thanks to Mosfet up to
500mA switch.
- Commands through the RS232 serial link. A simple protocol is used to send instructions to the player.
- Infrared sensor allows the use of a remote control.
Autoplay: MicroPlayer MKII starts automatically on powering on. This function is configurable and can
be disabled.
Playback: The audio files stored on a SD/SDHC memory card - USB flash drive can be organized in a
particular way to define playback pattern. The playback pattern is defined by the names of the files and
the folders, allowing a wide flexibility of use.
Audio output: 2 types of output are proposed.
- A line level stereo audio output on a RCA standard connector
- An amplified stereo output on a removable terminal block (RTB).
Power supply: A 12v external power supply is required.
The player is protected against polarity reversals and against usage, by mistake, of an alternative power
supply instead of the D.C. power supply provided.
Caution! The player can accept a tolerance of the power supply voltage between 10 & 15V. Apart from
this voltage range, the player can be damaged.
The input supply is transferred to the RS232 connector and the output terminal (RTB) to supply the
connected accessories.
The power of the PSU determines the output power of the amplifier. When a line level output is used , a
500mA (6w) power supply is adequate to run on the player. When the amplified output is used for large
powers, a supply of at least 3,45A(45w) is obligatory. If you use a PSU of an inferior power, you can
have a very poor sound and also a overheating PSU till broken down.
Serial link RS232: MicroPlayer MKII can be controlled by a PLC, a computer, a remote control using a
serial link. MicroPlayer MKII receives data on its Rx input and sends datas on its Tx output. A specific
protocol is described in this manual.

2 - Connect speakers or a sound system to the audio output and switch on the player thanks to the PSU
Power Supply Unit: We recommend you to use the PSU provided with the player. If you use another
PSU or a battery, you have to respect the 12V specified voltage although the player can be power
supplied between 10V and 15V. The power consumed depends on the power level of the amplifier.
Preparationof themedias:
Brand new SD/SDHC memory card and USB flash drive are usually "FAT" or "FAT32" formatted.
If you must format a card or a stick, select the FAT or FAT32 format depending on memory size. (FAT32
above 512Mb).Other types of formatting do not work.
If you use Windows PC computer, latest versions do not allow to format high capacity medias(>32Go)
system FAT. In this case you must obtain a formatting software. Many software are available , some free,
others paying that you will easily find on internet.
