COMMERCIAL AUDIO SERIES

Architectural & Engineering Specifi cations

140MPA

The Crown® 140MPA shall be a mixer-amplifi er for commercial audio. It shall
provide 4-ohm and constant-voltage outputs (25V and 70V).

The 140MPA shall have 4 inputs (each with a volume control) and one 40W
power amplifi er.

Specifi cations

The 140MPA shall have the following specifi cations:

Frequency Reponse (at 1 watt from 4-ohm tap): 50 Hz to 15 kHz +/- 1 dB.
Frequency Response (at line out): 50 Hz to 15 kHz +/- 1 dB. Power Bandwidth
(at 4-ohm tap, 2 dB below maxium 1 kHz power): 50 Hz to 20 kHz with
< 0.5% THD. Signal to Noise Ratio (ref. to rated power, master volume at mini­mum): >90 dB. DC Output Offset: < ±5 mV. THD: < 0.5% at rated power at 1
kHz. Input Sensitivity (for full output at maximum gain): Balanced mic inputs
3 mV, Balanced line inputs 800 mV, RCA connectors 400 mV. Input Impedance
(nominal): Mic 400 ohms, Line: 100 kilohms, RCA: 50 kilohms. Crosstalk:
–70dB at 1kHz. Line Output Level (nominal): 1V into 10 kilohms. Phantom
Power: 15 VDC. AC Line Voltages Available: 120V/60Hz. Line voltage tolerance
+15%, –20%. Operating Temperature/Humidy: 0° C to 40° C at 95% relative
humidity (non-condensing). Storage Temperature: –20° C to 85° C.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Front panel controls and indicators shall include the following:

Power Switch: Pushbutton on-off switch. Input Level Controls: Four controls,
one per input, detented potentiometers with knobs. Tone Controls: Bass and
Treble non-detented recessed potentiometer on each input channel. Bass ±10
dB at 100 Hz, Treble ±10 dB at 10 kHz. Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates
power on. Input Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED, one for each input
channel, illuminates when input signal exceeds –40 dBu. Output Signal Pres­ence Indicator: Green LED illuminates when output signal level exceeds 100
mV (45 dB below full power) from the 4-ohm tap. Clip Indicator: Red LED on
output illuminates at threshold of audible distortion. Master Output Volume
Control: Detented potentiometer with knob.

together, two connectors per input channel. Amp Input Connector: 3-pin
Phoenix-type, high-impedance balanced, used to link an additional mixer to
the mixer-amplifi er, can be used to connect an external processor. Mic/line
Switch: Selects mic-level or line-level signal for Input 1. Phantom Power
Switch: Turns phantom power on or off for Input 1. VOX Threshold: Trim pot
controls how loud the voice must be before ducking occurs; can be set for no
ducking. Link In/Out Switch: Slide switch. When set to IN, any signal applied
to the Amp Input connector will be mixed with the input signal(s). When set to
OUT, only the signal from the Amp Input Connector will appear at the amplifi er
output Priority Connector: 3-pin Phoenix-type connector for push-to-talk mic
contact closure. Input 1 is the priority input for the amplifi ed output, so Input
1 ducks the other inputs. Threshold of activation depends on input voltage.
Ducking does not affect MOH outputs. Active Indicator: Illuminates when VOX
ducking is active.

Miscellaneous

Cooling: Convection cooled. Current Limit Protection: Included. Thermal
Limit Protection: Over-temperature thermal cutout. DC-Fault Load Protection:
Included. Turn On/Turn Off: No thumps or pops. Included accessories: power
cord, detachable rack ears, screws for rack ears, non-touch cover for output
connectors, Phoenix-type connectors, spade lugs.

The dimensions of the 140MPA shall be as follows:
Width (without rack ears): 17.3 in. (43.8 cm).
Width (with rack ears): EIA Standard 19 in. W (EIA RS-310-B).
Height (front panel): 3.5 in. (8.9 cm).
Height (including feet): 4.1 in. (10.5 cm).
Depth (front panel to back panel): 12.2 in. (31.0 cm).
Depth (front of knobs to back of non-touch cover): 13.9 in. (35.2 cm).

The mixer-amplifi er shall weigh 17 lb (7.7 kg).

The mixer-amplifi er shall be designated the Crown 140MPA.

Back Panel Controls, Connectors and Indicators

Back panel controls, connectors and indicators shall include the following:

Reset Switch: Resets the circuit breaker that protects the power supply. AC
Power Inlet: Detachable IEC. Amplifi er Output Connector: 4-position terminal
strip with COM (Common), 4 ohms, 25V and 70V terminals, accepts up to 10
AWG terminal forks, non-touch cover included. Output VCA Connector: 4-pin
Phoenix-type connector for two VCA control lines of +10 VDC and ground,
compatible with Crown 1-VCAP module. Priority Connector: 3-pin Phoenix­type connector for push-to-talk mic contact closure. Preamp Line Out Con­nector: 3-pin balanced Phoenix-type connector, post master, pre-VCA, level
controlled by master volume control. MOH 1V Level Control: Trim pot adjusts
level for Music-On-Hold 1V output. MOH 1W Level Control: Trim pot adjusts
level for Music-On-Hold 1W output. MOH SPI Indicator: Flashes when MOH
signal is present. MOH 1V Phoenix Connector: 3-pin Phoenix connector for
1V, 600-ohm transformer-isolated output. MOH 1W Phoenix Connector: 3-pin
Phoenix connector for 1W output. MOH 1V RCA Connector: Two mono RCA
connectors for 1V output (in parallel with 600-ohm connections so they are
isolated). Balanced Input Connector: Detachable 3-pin Phoenix style connector
for balanced line-level signals, one each for input channels 2-4. Balanced Input
Connector: Detachable 3-pin Phoenix style connector for balanced mic-level
line-level signals, for input channel 1. Tel Connector: Transformer-isolated
600-ohm input, summed into Input 1 for paging from a telephone system
Dual RCA Input Connector: For stereo music signals, unbalanced, summed
