The TOA P-906MK2, P-912MK2 and P-924MK2 Power Amplifiers deliver up to 60 watts, 120 watts and 240
watts of power respectively at less than 0.5% total harmonic distortion (THD) from 20 to 20,000 Hz
(transformerless 4-ohm output). The power amplifiers have a high-impedance direct input and an input port
(edge connector) to accept one plug-in module. Module selection is determined by application among the
TOA plug-in modules.
The power amplifiers have a low-cut switch for a cutoff frequency of 60 Hz, and an input-level switch for input
sensitivity of 1V (0 dBV) or 100mV (–20 dBV). Output terminals provide connections for 4-ohm and 8-ohm
speakers, plus 25-volt and 70-volt speaker distribution outlets. With plug-in modules, the power amplifiers
may be used as a PA amplifier.
The power amplifiers can be rack mounted by using optional rack mounting bracket MB-25B(P-906MK2,
P-912MK2) and MB-35B(P-924MK2). The optional perforated panel PF-511 provides suitable ventilation,
finished in color to match the power amplifiers.

position when normally used as a power
amplifier.
Note: The position of INPUT-LEVEL SWITCH
should be changed according to modules
used or equipment connected to DIRECT
INPUT TERMINAL.

Input Connections
Two types of input terminals are provided on the rear for input connections.
(1) 2P terminal (marked HOT, COM)
It is provided for direct input (unbalanced, 10k ohms) without using plug-in module. This terminal is
directly connected with a potentiometer inside.
(2) Plug-in module input
Select the desired module according to application.
DIRECT INPUT TERMINAL and MODULE INPUT are not usable simultaneously.
Plug the modules into the INPUT PORT, sliding it between the guide rails and secure with two screws.
When INPUT PORT is not occupied, cover the PORT with the blank panel and secure it with screws.
Be sure that INPUT-LEVEL SWITCH is in the proper position for the module used or the equipment
connected to DIRECT INPUT TERMINAL.
When the P-906MK2, P-912MK2 or P-924MK2 is used in combination with a mixer preamplifier or serves
as an incremental power amplifier, normally place INPUT-LEVEL SWITCH in "1V (0 dBV) position.
CAUTION: Modules should not be inserted or
removed while the amplifier is turned
on.

Output Connections
The speaker outputs of the amplifier are 4 ohms, 8 ohms, 25V and 70V.
Connect speakers to any one of these outputs.
Class 2 wiring may be used.
There are two types of output ;
8 ohms, 25V and 70V via output (matching) transformer
4-ohm direct output.
The connecting method differs in each case. Refer to the following diagrams.
Note : Impedances indicated below imply total speaker system (load) impedances.

Note : Low-cut switch should be in "CUT" position.
Cut off unnecessary low frequency in TRANS OUTPUT to obtain best acoustic condition. The
900MK2 series amplifiers are characteristically flat even in the low frequency range. Thus, in TRANS
OUTPUT the acoustic effect and frequency-response characteristics may be altered.

Operation
After all connections are made, turn power switch ON, illuminating the Power Indicator LED. The amplifier
comes into operation approximately 5 seconds after the power is turned on.
Volume Adjustment
Obtain desired output level by adjusting the master volume control. For normal music playing or
announcement, adjust the master volume control until the normal LED intermittently lights. Sound quality is
deteriorated when the peak LED remains lit.
When the power amplifier is used in combination with a mixer preamplifier, adjust total gain at the mixer
preamplifier with the gain setting of power amplifier at maximum.
Never block ventilation holes.
The amplifier should never be placed in areas
exposed to direct sunlight.

CAUTION : Do not remove the case or you may encounter an electric shock.
Note : When the temperature of heat sink exceeds 105 °C the protection circuit is activated and the output is
disconnected from the circuit. Output is automatically restored when the temperature return to normal
operating parameter.
Servicing
