Unpacking

Although your A-60/A-120 is neither complicated nor difficult to operate, we recommend

you take a few minutes to read this brief manual and familiarize yourself with the

important information regarding product features, setup and operation.

As with most electronic devices, we strongly recommend you retain the original

packaging. In the unlikely event the product must be returned for servicing, the original

packaging (or reasonable equivalent) is required.

Warnings

Environment

Never place this product in an environment that could alter its performance or reduce its

service life. Such environments are usually characterized by high levels of heat, dust,

moisture, or vibration.

Safety

1. Read these instructions carefully.

2. Follow all instructions.

3. Keep all warnings.

4. Do not operate this apparatus near water.

5. Clean only with a damp cloth.

6. Do not block any of the ventilation openings.

7. Install only in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for

your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where it is attached to the apparatus.

11. Use only the attachments/accessories specified.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid overturning.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

Operation

Make certain that speakers and input sources are properly connected before switching

on.

Keep volume levels at minimum gain before switching on.

NOTE: The system’s operation is delayed by approximately three seconds after pressing

the AC Mains power switch. This is due to the built-in protection circuitry, designed to

protect speakers and other system components.

Front Panel Controls

1. Power Switch

Pressing this switch switches the unit on, as indicated by the Power LED above the

switch. Pressing it again switches the unit off.

2. Master Volume

This knob controls the overall volume of the A-60/120 output.

3. Bass and Treble Controls

These knobs control the high and low frequency response, by adding up to 12dB

of cut (decrease) or boost (increase).

4. Aux Volume 1-2

These knobs control the volume of Aux Inputs 1 and 2.

5. Mic Volumes 1-3

These knobs control the volume of Mic Inputs 1-3.

6. Protection Indicator

This LED indicates the state of the amplifier’s protection circuitry. When the

Protection LED is on (illuminated), the protection circuitry is active, indicating that

the unit is not operating normally. This is typically due to overheating or power

limiting. Please check the Input and Output condition of the amplifier.

7. Output Level Display

This six-segment LED meter indicates the amplifier’s output level in RMS.

Rear Panel Controls

1. Priority Mute Level

When Mic Input 1 is active, it mutes all other input signals (priority muting). When

priority muting is in effect, this control is used to set the amount of attenuation

(how much muting) is applied to the other inputs when a signal is present on Mic

Input 1. The amount of attenuation can range from very little to complete muting.

2. Mic 1,2,3 Inputs

These 1/4" phone jacks accept a standard mic-level input. Input impedance is

600Ω, and input sensitivity is 0.6mV.

3. Aux Inputs 1-2

These inputs are used for connecting line-level sources, such as CD, tuner or

cassette deck.

4. Speaker Output Terminals

These terminals are used to connect speakers to the unit. You may select either

4conventional operation, or High Impedance operation at either 70V or 100V.

5. AC Power Cable

Connect this cable to your AC outlet.

A-60/A-120 Public Address Amplifier

Connecting Speakers

Before connecting speakers to your A-60/120 unit, be sure to disconnect the AC power

cable. Make certain that the total impedance is not less than the rated impedance

indicated.

For 4speakers, connect in parallel, with the positive (+) connectors to the 4terminal

and the negative (-) connectors to the COM terminal. See Figure below.

For high-voltage distibuted systems, connect with matching transformer to either 70V or

100V terminals, as per Figures below. Be certain that the total impedance does not equal

less than the rated impedance.
