135MA and 160MA are high-
value mixer-amplifi ers for commercial audio. 
They provide 8-ohm and constant-voltage 
outputs (70V and 100V). Typical uses are paging, 
background music, and music-on-hold.
The 135MA provides 3 inputs (each with a volume 
control) and a 35W amplifi er output. The 160MA 
provides 4 inputs (each with a volume control) 
and a 60W amplifi er output.
Other features include priority muting, voice-
activated muting, phantom power, and Bass and 
Treble controls.
Specifi cations
Performance
Frequency Response (at 1 watt from line out): 
50 Hz to 20 kHz ± 1 dB.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Power Switch: Pushbutton on-off switch.
Input Volume Controls: Four controls, one per 
input. Detented potentiometers with knobs. 
Tone Controls: Bass and Treble non-detented 
recessed potentiometers under master output 
volume control. Bass ±10 dB at 100 Hz, Treble 
±10 dB at 10 kHz. 
Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates power on.
Input Signal Presence Indicators: Green LED, 
one above each channel's input attenuator, illumi-
nates when input signal exceeds –40 dBu.  
Input Signal Clip Indicators: Green LED, one 
above each channel's input attenuator, fl ashes 
brightly at threshold of audible distortion. 
Output Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED 
above master output volume control illuminates 
when any input signal exceeds –40 dBu.
Output Signal Clip Indicators: Red LED above 
master output volume control fl ashes brightly at 
threshold of audible distortion. 
Master Output Volume Control: Detented potenti-
ometer with knob.
Back Panel Controls, Connectors and 
Indicators
AC Power Inlet: Detachable IEC accepts US or 
Euro style power cords.
Amplifi er Output Connector: 4-position terminal 
barrier block with COM (Common), 8 ohms, 70V 
and 100V terminals. Accepts up to 10 AWG termi-
nal forks. Non-touch cover included.
Preamp Line Out Connector: 3-pin balanced 
Phoenix-type for connection to external amplifi -
ers. Level independent of master volume control.
Input Connector 1: 5-terminal Phoenix connector. 
3 terminals for balanced signal, 2 terminals for 
priority contact closure, which mutes other chan-
nels when DIP switch 3 is on.
Input Connector 2: Unbalanced line-level RCA-
type connectors.
Input Connector 3: Unbalanced line-level RCA-
type connectors.
Input Connector 4 (160MA only): Unbalanced 
line-level RCA-type connectors.
Telephone (MOH) Output Connector: 4-terminal 
Phoenix connector (2 terminals for 1W output to 
8-ohm speaker, 2 terminals for 600-ohm output to 
PBX music-on-hold port). 
MOH Level Control: Trim pot adjusts level for 
Music-On-Hold output from Telephone (MOH) 
Output Connector.
Amp Confi guration DIP Switch: DIP switch selec-
tion for multiple functions.
1. On: Sets CH1 to Mic Input. Off: Sets CH1 to 
Line Input.
2. On: Sets CH1 to Normal mode (no priority). 
3. On: CH1 priority contact closure mutes other 
channels.  
4. On: CH1 VOX mutes other channels by sensing 
signal through Input 1.
5. On: Routes CH1 to MOH output.
6. On: Routes CH2 to MOH output.
7. On: Routes CH3 to MOH output.
8. On: 15V phantom power.
