17.VOX Mute Switch For Channels 2, 3, 4, and 6

Each 3-position switch sets the VOX mute status individually for Inputs 2, 3, 4, and 6. Note: All VOX

Mute settings are over ridden when the internal Remote Mute jumpers are installed and the contacts are connected together. Input 5 is shipped with an internal VOX Mute jumper installed and will be muted when any channel is set to Mute Send and signal is present at the corresponding input.

SEND - Sends a (VOX) Mute command when audio is present at the input to other channels set to (VOX) Mute RCV (Receive).

OFF - Bypasses the (VOX) Mute Send and RCV (Receive) functions.

RCV (VOX Receive) - Inputs will be Muted when other Input Channels are set to to the (VOX) Mute Send position and audio is present at the corresponding input.

18.Zone 2 And Zone 3 Level Controls

These rotary controls will vary the signal level at the Zone 2 and Zone 3 output terminals. Fully counter-clockwise (0) is off, fully clockwise (10) is the maximum output level. Both Zone 2 and 3 level controls are PRE channel level controls for Inputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Note: Zone 2 and 3 level controls function identically to their corresponding inputs. See number 28 for more details.

19.Input 6 Module Slot

The Module Slot accepts optional industry standard input modules from Atlas and other vendors. Contact Atlas Sound for a full list of module types.

20.Tape Out

Line level mono signals are available at this jack for connection to recording devices. The signal available here is PRE tone control and low cut filter and comes from the internal mix bus.

21.Line Out

The LINE OUT connector is useful for providing unbalanced line level signal to another amplifier or other external devices. Prior to using this feature one must understand where the internal signal pick up point is so you can decide if it is correct for your application. We suggest you refer to the block diagram of the AA120M to have a complete understanding of the signal flow.

Note the following conditions for LINE OUT

A.Pre Low Cut Filter

B.Post Tone Controls (meaning the settings for the Bass and Treble controls affect this signals output). Note: Refer to "Low Cut Filter Switch for complete understanding of the LCF feature."

C.Post Amp In (meaning any signal that is inserted into the Pre AMP In jack will be present at the Line Out).

AA120M specifications

The Atlas Sound AA120M is a versatile and powerful amplifier designed primarily for commercial and professional audio applications. This robust unit stands out due to its impressive features, advanced technologies, and impeccable sound characteristics, making it a popular choice for venues such as conference halls, schools, and places of worship.

At the heart of the AA120M is its 120-watt output, which ensures that audio distribution is both loud and clear, capable of powering a variety of speaker systems. Its high-efficiency design incorporates a Class D amplification technology that not only enhances sound quality but also minimizes power consumption. This efficient power management results in lower heat output, which prolongs the lifespan of the unit and reduces the need for extensive cooling systems.

The AA120M is equipped with multiple input options, including balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors, accommodating various audio sources. The microphone input features a priority mode, allowing announcements or important messages to override background music seamlessly. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where announcements are critical to safety and communication.

Sound quality is further enhanced by the built-in EQ controls, allowing users to shape the audio output to suit the acoustics of their environment or personal preferences. The amplifier also offers a low-impedance operation, which supports a wide range of speaker systems, enhancing compatibility across different setups.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the AA120M is its built-in limiter circuitry, designed to prevent audio peaks that could lead to distortion or damage to connected speakers. This protective feature makes it an ideal choice for public address systems where audio integrity is paramount.

Additionally, the amplifier includes a sleek, rack-mountable design, making it easy to integrate into existing audio setups. Its durability and reliability ensure that it can handle extended use without compromising performance.

In summary, the Atlas Sound AA120M is a multifunctional amplifier that combines power, efficiency, and flexibility. With its advanced features and technologies, it stands out as a compelling choice for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience in commercial or professional settings, delivering clear and powerful sound with every use.
