CAM160

8 INPUT x 1 OUTPUT 160 W MIXER-AMPLIFIER

DESCRIPTION

The EAW Commercial CAM160 is an integrated audio mixer and power amplifier outfitted with comprehensive input/output facilities and feature sets to provide exceptional versatility from a highly cost- effective package. Designed for a wide range of fixed installation applications, the CAM160 offers “all in one” functionality without need for add-ons such as expansion modules.

The CAM160 is equipped with six actively balanced combination mic/line inputs as well as individual adjustable potentiometers for line level input, mic level input and mic level input with 24-volt DC phantom power. Input 1 also offers the flexibility of an integrated transformer for connection to telephone paging systems.

Inputs 1 and 2 are divided into four discrete input sections: a combination XLR/TRS connector, Phoenix connector, or terminal strip. Meanwhile, Inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 offer both Phoenix connectors and terminal strips. Two pairs of RCA connectors allow unbalanced auxiliary (Aux) signals to enter the amplifier via Aux 1 and Aux 2, both of which are attenuated by a potentiometer on the front of the amplifier.

Two levels of priority can be established on Inputs 1 and 2, initiated with external contact closures or adjustable signal threshold levels. External volume control is possible through a Phoenix connector and user supplied potentiometer. A two-position Phoenix connector allows the internal fault relay to be connected to redundant systems. And, an adjustable pre-announcement chime is also included.

Front panel controls include a level control for each input, a toggle switch for Aux 1 or Aux 2 selection, and one Aux master level control for the selected Aux. Low and high EQ controls offers 12 dB of boost or cut at 100 Hz and 10 kHz, respectively. A master volume control affords output volume control, while distinctive LEDs indicate power (green), signal (amber), overload (red), and fault (red).

The CAM160 provides 160 watts of output power at 100 volts,

70.7volts, 25 volts and 4 Ohms. An intelligent output stage is fully protected against permanent damage caused by overloading, shorts and thermal faults.

The CAM160 will operate on 100 volts to 240 volts AC power (50/60 Hz), and is supplied by a detachable IEC power cord. A combination banana plug/binding post connection is also provided for connecting an external 24-volt DCbackup battery.

CAM160 specifications

The EAW CAM160 is a remarkable addition to the Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) product line, particularly designed for modern sound reinforcement applications. This compact and versatile loudspeaker is an ideal choice for a range of venues, from small to medium-sized spaces, including corporate events, auditoriums, and live performances.

One of the standout features of the CAM160 is its coaxial design, which integrates a high-frequency driver into the middle of the low-frequency driver. This configuration results in a more coherent sound wave and allows for better control of the dispersion pattern. The coaxial setup enhances the overall audio experience by ensuring that the sound is more uniform throughout the listening area, reducing phase issues that can sometimes arise in standard loudspeaker configurations.

The CAM160 utilizes cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional sound quality. It boasts a power handling capacity of 300 watts continuous and 1200 watts peak, allowing it to deliver a high output level while minimizing distortion. The frequency response ranges from 95 Hz to 20 kHz, providing a clear and balanced sound across a wide spectrum. This frequency range is essential for capturing the nuances of various musical styles and spoken word presentations.

Another impressive feature is the integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processing), which allows users to fine-tune the loudspeaker’s performance to match the specific acoustics of the venue. This technology enables users to access various presets tailored for different applications, ensuring optimal performance whether for music playback, public speaking, or multimedia presentations. Additionally, the DSP provides advanced features such as EQ adjustments and delays, further enhancing the versatility of the CAM160.

The build quality of the EAW CAM160 is equally noteworthy. Constructed from durable materials, it is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and installation. The loudspeaker comes equipped with versatile mounting options, including rigging points and pole mounts, making it easy to integrate into various setups.

Overall, the EAW CAM160 stands out as a high-performance loudspeaker that excels in sound quality, flexibility, and durability. Its innovative design, advanced technologies, and robust construction make it a preferred choice for audio professionals looking to enhance their sound reinforcement capabilities in a variety of environments. Whether deployed in a live event or an installed audio system, the CAM160 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability.
