Built into the 180MAx is an XM Radio that receives
satellite radio stations with digital sound quality. A
front-panel LCD screen displays XM channel data
(channel number, channel name, artist name, song
title), 16 station presets and signal strength.
The unit also accepts signals from line, telephone,
or microphone (phantom power included). Bass
and treble controls allow the user to tailor the tone
quality of the sound system. The priority ducking
feature drops the volume of the background music
when a microphone is used. A VOX threshold
set ting controls how loud the voice must be before
ducking occurs.
Units can be linked to increase the number of input
and output channels.
The built-in power amplifi er provides 80 watts into
4-ohm outputs for 4-ohm or 8-ohm loudspeakers,
and 80 watts into 25V/70V outputs. Current and
thermal limiting protect the amplifi er and
loud speakers from accidental overload.
