The Crown® 135MA and 160MA are highvalue mixer-amplifiers 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 amplifier output. The 160MA provides 4 inputs (each with a volume control) and a 60W amplifier output.
Other features include priority muting, voiceactivated muting, phantom power, and Bass and Treble controls.
