DATA SHEET

General Description

The 100 watt per channel, four-channel MA 4 amplifier achieves 

unparalleled power density, reliability and features in a space 

saving 1U, 19 inch rack mount chassis weighing only eight 

pounds (3.6 kg). A universal-voltage switching power supply 

provides near perfect Power-Factor, reducing peak currents to 

⅓ compared to non power-factor-corrected supplies. A long list 

of unique features ranging from constant load power to built in 

automatic redundancy switching to advanced dynamics control, 

qualify the MA 4 for the most demanding fixed installation 

applications. The MA 4 excels in music & paging systems, small 

conference rooms and speech reinforcement applications requir-

ing multiple amplifiers. Advanced dynamics control algorithms 

adapt to changes in temperature, load impedance and sensitivity 

setting. 

The result is a truly plug-and-play amplifier that ensures 

excellent signal integrity at all times.
