THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.
The Polsen PA-5150 is an active PA system that’s ideal for solo performers or vocalists. It can be used as a PA
system at smaller venues or clubs, or as a monitor in a multi-speaker setup. The PA-5150 is designed to give you
hands-on control over the level of your microphones, instruments, or other line-level signals during performance.
Its compact size, easy-to-carry weight, and rugged construction make it easy to set up on a mic stand and
transport to gigs or rehearsals.
At its core, the PA-5150 features a 5-inch driver and a 150 W class-D amplier that offers plenty of power to ll
a room with clear and accurate sound. It features two inputs that accept mic- and line-level signals, and an aux
stereo input for a CD, DVD, or other line-level audio source. An additional 3.5 mm mini-plug input can be used
for an MP3 player or a smartphone. An integrated mixer with 3-band EQ and an echo effect provide creative
control of your sound.
