All-in-One Mixer and Amp

From the simplest to the most complex public address needs, the WA-MA120N 
and WA-MA240N have what it takes. These mixing power amplifiers 
combine multiple inputs with assigned priorities and call 
signs to provide the flexibility required for applications 
ranging from schools and business facilities, factory, 
office and religious buildings. To ensure more 
efficient and reliable communication, options including 
program broadcasting and troubleshooting.

The Public Address System Made it Easy.

2-channel Broadcast

Background music and announcement transmission can be 
transmitted independently to any of three zones, with
background music transmitted to one zone and
announcements transmitted to another zone.

*2-channel broadcast requires the optional WA-BA240N Booster Power Amplifier

Up To Four Remote Microphones

Up to four (4) WR-210AE remote microphones can be used 
to broadcast from remote locations. These remote
microphones can be used for individual, group, all-at-once or
simultaneous broadcast.

Add Up To 30 Zones

Depending on scale of application systems may include up to 
ten (10) WA-MA120N or WA-MA240N mixing power
amplifiers for expansion to up to 30 zones.

Broadcast Simultaneously To 
Multiple Remote Areas

For example, facilities with multiple buildings can have a 
WA-MA120N or WA-MA240N installed in each building. Via
the simultaneous broadcast BUS I/O connector, broadcasts
can be directed to selected all buildings at once. 

Program Broadcast

With the optional WU-ZM001E Sound Message Unit, an 
SD memory card can be used to store MP3 data to be
broadcast for a week at specified days and times. The SD
memory card holds 100 messages.

Troubleshooting

The optional WU-ZS001E Surveillance Unit checks at 
preset intervals (or 24-hours a day) for overheating and
sound and speaker irregularities. 

Reliable Cooling

Cooling fan control is provided by two thermal sensors 
monitoring temperatures inside the case. 

Energy Saving Design

This mixing power amplifier uses Class-H amplifier 
technology developed by RAMSA, the Panasonic
Professional Audio Group, to minimize power consumption. 

Message for ZONE 1 only,
and BGM continues for 
ZONE 2 and 3.

Priority Broadcast Feature Priorities are as follows.

(1) Emergency announcement

(2) Telephone paging, input 1, message from

Sound Message Unit

(3) Remote microphone

(4) input 2, 3 and Line 1, 2

Higher priority broadcasts preempt lower 
priority broadcasts.

*When (2) and (4) occur simultaneously and inputs compete, mixing occurs. 

Sound level can be adjusted.

Cable Extension

* While there are no restrictions on attaching a WA-BA240N to your
   network, sound quality may deteriorate at distant locations.

When you need to broadcast to distant locations, the optional Booster Power Amplifier allows you to extend the speaker cable as far as necessary.
