INTRODUCTION

 

 
The 

TMA120

 commercial mixer/amplifier combines a versatile 6-

input mic/line mixer with 120 Watt amplification.  Mixing
functions include mic/line/telephone inputs, selectable automatic
& manual channel muting, channel priority assignment, remote 
level control, tone control, a built-in compressor, an internal 
chime, phantom power, and extensive output patching.  The
amplifier includes an output transformer, and provides rated
power into direct or distributed speaker systems.

• 

+24 Volt phantom power selectable on each input channel 

• 

input isolation transformer option on mic/line input channels 

• 

automatic muting of selected channels (-10, -20, or -40dB) 

•
