A-1803/A-1806/A-1812 Mixer Power Amplifiers
Versatility plus
The A-1800 Series amplifiers are distinctive for their input versatility. Each has three mic inputs, three auxiliary inputs, an emergency input as well as a telephone paging input. Paging can be initiated and the chime function can also be set to automatically output to two zones.
Each A-1700 Series amplifier has 2 speaker output zones which can be independently selected or used together for enhanced PA applications.
2 Zone Capability
A-1800 Series amplifiers feature 2 speaker zones to which broadcasts can be sent independently or combined as desired. Emergency broadcasts will be heard in both zones. Even when the amplifier power is switched off, an emergency broadcast will be initiated to both zones.
Phantom Power Provided
The A-1800 Series of amplifiers provide phantom power to all connected microphones. Phantom power can be switched on or off as needed. The microphone inputs feature a balanced configuration with XLR connectors, allowing long cable runs without any problems.
Equipment For more sophisticated equalization such as minimizing feedback, a parametric equalizer or other gearcan be patched in before the power amplification stage. Other equipment such as a delay unit can also be connected if required. Alternately, to extend sound coverage, and additional power is needed to power other speakers, the line out terminal can be used to send the mix output to another power amplifier.
Chime on input
The Mic 1 input incorporates chime on capability when the optional PM-660D Paging Microphone is used. Chime on can also be activated for the telephone paging. A selection of chime tones are available such as single, two-tone and four-tones which can either be in ascending or descending order.
Equalization
Each amplifier allows easy tonal adjustment of all output signals with bass and treble controls.
Line output
A line output is useful for adding more power in a particular zone by providing the input signal for a booster amplifier such as the P-1812.
Remote control
In an expanded system with the P-1812 amplifier, an emergency will activate the P-1812, even if had not be switched on to enable the broadcast.
Record Output
The back panel includes a record output for connecting an external recorder to archive or back up broadcasts.
Input priority override and muting
Each input can be set for priority override as well as mute. This facilitates making emergency announcements and messages as well as paging. Priority is in order starting with emergency, telephone paging, Mic 1* input.
* Mic 1 has priority by default unless switched or when the optional PM-660D Paging Microphone is used. Priority will also automatically decrease the levels of other inputs.
Dual power supply
A-1800 Series amplifiers can conveniently be operated on AC or on DC24V to suit installation requirements.
Music On Hold (MOH) output-equipped
For adding convenient music or messages when telephone call waiting, music from a CD or cassette player connected to the Aux 1 input will activate MOH to fill the silence.
