Default 100volt line system

Apologies to the group if this is off topic--any suggestions if it is??

I bought a second hand power amp and mixer amp on e-bay. The intention was
to use the 100volt line to run a number of speakers around my arena, where I
ride my horses, to practice my dressage to music. I know next to nothing
about 100v systems and I have now found that the company who made the amps
has ceased trading! Does anyone know ANYTHING about "Modular Communications
Ltd" of Telford Road, Bicester, Oxon, UK, or their products. I don't know
how to connect up the amps, either to each other or to speakers. There is a
number of 5-pin DIN plugs on the back of the main amp, but not on the mixer
amp

Any help of any sort would be greatly appreciated. I have all the model
numbers and serial numbers, if this is useful.

Cheers

Steve

Speaker connection is simple, but you must use speaker units designed for
100 volt line as they incorporate a transformer. They are simply wired in
parallel. You can buy the transformers separately to allow the use of
'normal' speakers, though.

I'm not sure what all the 5 pin DINs would be for on the amp - but I
sincerely hope they're not used as 100 volt line connectors.
