AMP1A-10S

Features

The

AMP-1A Series

 of audio monitors provides self-powered, full-fidelity stereo monitoring in the smallest rack space possible. All

models in the 

AMP1A Series

 contain five high performance transducers driven by three power amplifiers: two amplifier/driver

combinations handle midrange and high frequency information in stereo, while the third center channel reproduces information
below the 500 Hz crossover point.

All

AMP-1A

 models come equipped with a ganged stereo volume control and balance pot, power indication LED, and headphone

output.  Output limiter circuits are incorporated to protect the speakers, and extensive magnetic shielding allows placement
immediately adjacent to video monitors with no color impurities.

The

AMP1A-4S

 model features four pairs (8 channels) of balanced  inputs on Phoenix connectors and the 

AMP1A-10S

 features ten

pairs (20 channels) of these inputs.  Any pair of inputs is selectable for monitoring via a rotary source select switch on the front
panel. An additional pair of XLR connectors output the selected audio signals for connecting to downstream equipment.

The

AMP1A-LP4S

 and 

AMP1A-LP10S

 models offer the same input features as the 

-4S

 and 

-10S

 models with the addition of dual 10-

segment tri-color LED bargraph level meters and Wohlers' proprietary three-LED stereo phase indication feature.
