MPA 152 Features
Class D digital audio amplifier — For high efciency and less
heat production.
Ripple Steering technology — Produces cleaner, low-emission,
audio output signals.
Fixed switching frequency — Switches at a frequency below the
AM band, which reduces the chance of radio interference.
Three audio inputs — Accepts 1 balanced/unbalanced input
pair (captive screw) and 2 unbalanced pairs (RCA and
TRS), providing up to three right and three left channel
inputs. All three right inputs are mixed to produce a
single right output; all three left outputs are mixed to
produce a single left output.
Stereo/Dual Mono toggle switch — Allows the user to choose
between stereo output or to sum the left and right outputs
and produce dual mono outputs.
Up to 15 watts (rms)/channel stereo output — Delivers up to
15 watts (rms)/channel, stereo or dual mono, into a 4 ohm
speaker system or up to 8 watts (rms)/channel into an
8 ohm system.
Front panel controls — Input level, bass and treble are easily
adjusted from the front panel.
Quick-plug speaker outputs — Speaker output is on a captive
screw connector for quick installation.
Volume and mute remote control — A rear panel, three-pin
captive screw remote input connector allows remote
adjustment of volume and muting.
Always-on clip limiting — Reduces gain automatically to
prevent amplier clipping.
Compact size — The ampliers are housed in a 1U high, quarter
rack 3" deep, metal enclosure, which offers exible
mounting options.
UL 2043 plenum rated — The MPA 152 meets UL 2043
requirements for heat and smoke release and is suitable
for in-the-ceiling installations, allowing the unit to be
stored out of sight, with reduced risk of theft.
