Description
The SA60 is a high quality system amplifier which can be powered by AC mains or 24 volts DC.
It is sturdily constructed with a solid steel chassis and standard rack mounting front panel.
Generous heat sinking and a conservatively rated 125vA power transformer ensure that the
amplifier comfortably meets specifications.
SA60
60W, 6 Channel Mixer Amplifier
Inputs
The SA60 features six universal channels with separate channel gain controls. Each channel will
accept balanced microphone or unbalanced line and auxiliary inputs. The unit has industry
standard XLR microphone sockets and dual RCA auxiliary sockets for each channel.
Outputs
The SA60 features 100 volt, 70 volt & 8 ohm isolated transformer outputs. A separate male
XLR socket provides a 700mV (max.) balanced transformer isolated output for connection to
additional power amplifiers. A separate tape recorder output is supplied by means of dual
RCA sockets.
Insert Point
A 6.35mm insert jack between the pre-amp and power-amp stage is accessible on the rear panel. It
is ideal for a Graphic EQ, FBX Feedback Exterminator or any other type of line in/line out processor.
DC Operation
The DC input allows the SA60 to be powered by an external 24 volt battery supply.
Tone Generator
A four tone module (ATC5488) is an optional accessory. The unit plugs in to a receptacle inside
the amplifier. A choice of any one of four tones may be selected including Bell, Pre-announce
chime, Alert tone (AS2220.1) and Evacuate tone (AS2220.1). Any of the tones may be activat-
ed from a remote point by means of external connections which may be wired to the rear panel
of the amplifier. Activation of any tone automatically mutes inputs 2 to 6 of the amplifier.
Muting
The SA60 is equipped with a multi-pin receptacle on the circuit board which accommodates
the optional TX3014 two channel muting module. With the TX3014 installed, signal present on
channel 1 will mute all remaining inputs (2 to 6). When signal is present on channel 2, inputs 3
to 6 are muted. A single channel muting module TX3010 is also available. This unit plugs into
the same socket within the amplifier and will provide muting of channels 2 to 6 when signal is
present on channel 1.
Protection
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 six universal inputs, each with a balanced microphone with XLR female
socket, and dual RCA line/auxiliary sockets. Auxiliary inputs 1 - 5 shall have a sensitivity of 40 while input
6 shall have a sensitivity of 200mV to accommodate a CD or other high level input.
The master section shall include one master volume control, two EQ controls, one with 12dB of boost
and cut at 100Hz and the other with 9dB of boost and cut at 10kHz. A power on/off switch with blue
“on“ LED and an LED display Vu graduated from +21dB to -3dB shall form part of this section. The
amplifier chassis shall be solidly constructed, suitable for rack mounting in a standard 19” width rack
without the need for additional rack mounting accessories.
Speaker outputs will be transformer isolated and comprise, 100 volts, 70 volt, & 8 ohms. The amplifier
must be capable of delivering 60 watts RMS at 100 volts into a 170 ohm inductive load from mains or
24V DC, with less than 0.5% distortion at 1kHz and with system hum and noise of less than -72dB.
The amplifier shall be an Australian Monitor Installation Series model SA60.
