OPERATION
Thank you for choosing the Clear-Com AMS-1027 Amplified Speaker Station.
For optimum results, please read this entire manual before installing your
AMS-1027 station.
The AMS-1027 is a bi-amplified, self-contained, rack-mountable audio monitor
speaker that occupies only a single rack space.
This amplified speaker station features exceptional audio quality, very low
distortion, and high output power. It provides convenient, powerful,
high-quality audio monitoring capability in locations where few other monitor
speakers can fit. The specially designed 2-way speaker system will reach output
levels of 96 dB SPL at 2 feet (0.6m) without audible distortion.
The steel enclosure is magnetically shielded, allowing the speaker station to be
placed above or below a television monitor without affecting the monitor’s color
balance. Equipped with electronically balanced 3-pin XLR inputs or unbalanced
line-level RCA inputs, the AMS-1027 enables you to easily monitor a variety of
audio sources. Its input limiter minimizes speaker distortion, and separate
channel volume controls allow easy adjustment of stereo signals or two discrete
monophonic signals. The AMS-1027 has two multi-segment, LED bar-type level
displays, adjustable from the rear panel.
To achieve the extended bass response produced by the AMS-1027, the
low-frequency signals from both channels are summed into a single bass
amplifier. This amplifier drives a specially developed, baffled loudspeaker, which
is centered in the unit. The mid/high frequency drivers are mounted at opposite
ends of the AMS-1027, providing the maximum amount of stereo image
separation possible.
The Clear-Com AMS-1027 Amplified Speaker Station is a valuable accessory in
a wide variety of facilities and installations, particularly where rack space is at a
premium.
DESCRIPTION
The single-rackspace AMS-1027 permits convenient monitoring of one stereo or
two monophonic (“mono”) analog input sources, with excellent full-range
fidelity.
Two front-firing midrange-tweeter speakers and a compact high-performance
woofer are arranged in an efficient bi-amp design. The summed bass feature is
important for audible detection of “out of phase” conditions. Speaker amp
limiters prevent accidental damage to speakers from high input levels.
Front-panel volume and balance controls are standard, but can be re-configured
in the field as A volume/B volume. Ten-segment LED bargraph meters with
rear-panel input calibration provide an indication of input levels. Balanced
The AMS-1027’s design
provides high-quality audio
monitoring, even in
high-noise environments.
