General Description
The Cloud MPA Series is a range of mixer-ampliers with applications in Licensed, Retail, Leisure and similar venues.
Three models are available to suit different output power requirements (60, 120 or 240 watts); otherwise all models have
identical facilities.
The mixer-ampliers have inputs for six stereo line signals and four microphone signals. Front panel controls are provided
for music source selection, music level and microphone levels. All pre-set controls are located on the rear panel with further
conguration jumpers mounted on the main PCB.
A remote level control or combined level control/music source selector can be wired to the unit for installations that require
