General Description

The 7 input channel mixer amplifier is designed for distributed paging and background music systems 
and in applications where music on hold (MOH) plus paging is required.

With 5 microphone/line inputs and 1 stereo input, the series mixer amplifiers will accommodate a 
variety of input sources including paging microphones, CD players, and digital music players. This 7 
input channel mixer amplifier features muting and output options along with a special bridge in/out 
feature to allow combining of multiple amplifiers in applications without the need for external relays. 
VCA remote level control circuitry is included which may be assigned to the background music input 
or globally for the entire amplifier.
