31.24VDC Terminals

24VDC is available on these terminals and can supply current up to 250mA. This DC output is useful for supplying DC voltage to trigger Atlas PA series attenuators.

Note: Do not short these terminals together or ground them.

32.Relay

The AA120M supplies contact points to trigger an external component. The SPDT (single pole double throw) set of relay contacts have (C) Common, (NO) Normally Open, and a (NC) Normally Closed contacts available on these terminals - 500mA Max. The relay can be activated via two methods, remote contact closure or VOX mute. Refer to Dipswitch #4 "Relay Act" for relay trigger selection.

The (CC) Contact Closure setting works in conjunction with the Remote Mute feature. Refer to section 27 "REMOTE MUTE" for detailed information.

The (VOX) setting works in conjunction with a Mute Send from an assigned Input channel. Refer to section 17 the "MUTE SWITCH" for detailed information. This feature is also known as VOX.

33.Loudspeaker Terminals

For loudspeaker connections, connect as follows or proceed to the setup section for typical wiring diagrams.

COM - Speaker common or negative connection

8 OHM - Connect to direct coupled loudspeakers

25V - Connect to transformer coupled, 25V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 5.2Ω

70V - Connect to transformer coupled, 70.7V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 41.6Ω

100V - Connect to transformer coupled, 100V loudspeakers with a total load impedance of no less than 83Ω

34.Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker is designed to trip and shut down the AA120M "Unswitched Outlet". After correcting the cause of the breaker tripping, reset the breaker by pushing in on the tab.

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.
