Australian monitor ACM60 User Manual

ACM60

60W, 4 Channel Mixer Amplifier

Description

The ACM60 is a 4 channel, 60 watt mixer amplifier suitable for rack or desk mounting. The

amplifier is a self contained compact unit of solid steel construction.

Inputs

The ACM60 has four universal input channels with separate level controls. Each channel will

accept balanced or unbalanced microphone, line and auxiliary inputs. The unit has industry

standard XLR microphone sockets and dual RCA auxiliary sockets for each channel. Line input

4 has a lower input sensitivity and is suitable for high level CD players.

Outputs

The ACM60 features 100 volt, 70 volt and 8 ohm isolated transformer outputs, plus a tape

recorder output by means of dual RCA sockets. A balanced 700mV XLR output is also provid-

ed to feed up to 6 power amplifiers.

Speaker Zone Selector

A six position push button speaker zone selector with overriding “all call” is located on the

front panel. Each of the six zone selectors switch the 100 volt speaker line output to 6 sepa-

rate speaker zones. The “all call” selector overrides all 6 zones regardless of their on/off con-

dition and places the 100 volt output to all 6 zones.

Tone Generator

The ACM60 comes standard with an in-built four tone generator module. Tones include Bell,

Pre-announce Chime, Alert Tone (AS2220.1) and Evacuate Tone (AS2220.1). Any of these

tones may be activated from a simple contact closure connected to the rear panel of the ampli-

fier. A Pre-announce defeat switch is located on the front panel.

Muting

VOX muting is standard on the ACM60. A mic or line signal on channels 1 or 2 will mute chan-

nels 3 and 4. The muting function can be disabled via an internal link.

Phantom Power

Phantom Power (18V DC) is available from all mic inputs. A rear panel phantom power on/off

switch is also provided.

Protection

Internal current limiting protects the amplifier from both overload and overdrive conditions.

Australian Monitor Installation Series amplifiers feature a protection network that provides

greater stability and performance. Our amplifiers are recognised

worldwide for their reliability and this is due to the extensive levels of

current limiting which protect the amplifiers from both overload and

overdrive conditions.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

The mixer amplifier shall have four universal input channels, each comprising of a balanced microphone

input with XLR female sockets and an auxiliary input using dual RCA sockets. The 100 volt line speak-

er outputs should be able to be switched via a six position selector with ”all call.” A balanced XLR out-

put to drive additional power amplifiers shall also be provided.

The amplifier master section shall include one master gain control, two EQ controls, one with 12dB of

cut and boost at 100Hz and the other with 9dB of cut and boost at 10kHz. Speaker outputs shall be

transformer isolated at 100 volt, 70 volt and 8 ohms. The amplifier must be capable of delivering

60 watts RMS into an 160 ohm inductive load, with less than 0.5% distortion measured at 1kHz and with

system hum and noise less than -74dB.

The amplifier shall be an Australian Monitor Installation Series model ACM60.
