Introduction

Thank you for purchasing TAGA Harmony amplifier.

 

 

The TCA series amplifiers are perfect solution for commercial installations in restaurants, pubs, 

shops, conferencing rooms, fitness clubs for both background music playback and paging (voice 

announcement) systems.

 

 

This amplifier allows to build a cost-effective multi-zone installation and mix music from analog 

inputs with voice announcements.

 

 

A variety of features and wired connections makes this amplifier a very versatile device with ability 

to work in different applications:

• 

Multi-zone mono amplification for 100V speaker lines to deliver sound to many rooms (zones); 

with an independent volume level. 

• 

Multiple analog LINE inputs mixing.

• 

Compatibility with low-impedance speakers (selected models).

• 

Microphone input(s) with mixing for voice paging and broadcasting.

• 

Microphone input with priority (selected models).

• 

Chime to notify that a voice announcement is to be broadcasted (selected models).

• 

Treble / Bass regulation (one for all zones).

• 

Mono output to connect additional power amplifier, subwoofer or powered speakers (selected 

models).

• 

Signal and overload indicators.

• 

Cooling fan allows long time operation.

• 

Screw-in Speaker Connectors.

IMPORTANT REMARKS

 

Please read this instruction manual carefully before installation and keep it for future 

reference.

• 

This amplifier is intended for indoor use only.

• 

Because the 70V/100V technology requires adequate technical knowledge we 

recommend having a licensed professional engineer or designer reviewed the design 

and installation of the system focusing on safety and performance of the application.

• 

Model name coding TCA-###V.

◊ 

TCA

 - is the series name

◊ 

###

 - is a number representing amplifier total output power in watts

◊ 

– means high voltage technology

For instance: TCA-240V is a high-voltage amplifier with the total output power of 240 

watts.

• 

This amplifier is equipped in a ventilation fan which can generate noise – this is 

normal operation.

• 

When switching on and off your audio equipment, turn down the volume to avoid 

strong electrical impact to be delivered to the speaker.

 

Cleaning

Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
