All-in-One Mixer and Amp
From the simplest to the most complex public address needs, 
the WA-MA120N and WA-MA240N have what it takes. These 
mixing power amplifiers combine multiple inputs with assigned priorities 
and call signs to provide the flexibility required 
for applications ranging from schools and business facilities, 
factory, office and religious buildings. To ensure more 
efficient and reliable communication, options including 
program broadcasting and troubleshooting.

OTHER FEATURES
The Public Address System Made it Easy. 
• 
High impedance speaker output can be 
switched easily between 100V and 70V 
to adapt to system size.
 Fully equipped with recording output, line 
output, insertion input, through, and 
regular output.
 OPERATE ON/OFF allows remote 
control from an external source.
 Simultaneous broadcast can bypass an 
external attenuator. Emergency 
broadcasts can thus be heard even when 
transmission to a particular area is 
restricted by an attenuator.
 Connecting the 24V battery allows 
broadcasts to continue during power 
outages.
Energy Saving Design
This mixing power amplifier uses Class-H 
amplifier technology developed by RAMSA, 
the Panasonic Professional Audio Group, to 
minimize power consumption. 
Reliable Cooling
Cooling fan control is provided by two 
thermal sensors monitoring temperatures 
inside the case.
Priority Broadcast Feature Priorities are as 
follows.
(1) Emergency announcement
(2) Telephone paging, input 1, message
     from Sound Message Unit
(3) Remote microphone
(4) input 2, 3 and Line 1, 2
 
Higher priority broadcasts preempt lower 
priority broadcasts.
 
*When (2) and (4) occur simultaneously and inputs 
compete, mixing occurs. Sound level can be adjusted. 
2 line inputs, 3 mic/line inputs, 1 remote mic input, 1 telephone paging input, and 1 emergency broadcast input allow 
connection to all of the equipment a public address system or emergency broadcast system requires.
