All-in-One Mixer and Amp

From the simplest to the most complex public address needs, the WA-MA120N
and WA-MA240N have what it takes. These mixing power amplifiers
combine multiple inputs with assigned priorities and call
signs to provide the flexibility required for applications
ranging from schools and business facilities, factory,
office and religious buildings. To ensure more
efficient and reliable communication, options including
program broadcasting and troubleshooting.

2-channel Broadcast

Background music and announcement transmission can be
transmitted independently to any of three zones, with
background music transmitted to one zone and
announcements transmitted to another zone.
*2-channel broadcast requires the optional WA-BA240N Booster Power Amplifier

Up To Four Remote Microphones

Up to four (4) WR-210AE remote microphones can be used
to broadcast from remote locations. These remote
microphones can be used for individual, group, all-at-once or
simultaneous broadcast.
Add Up To 30 Zones
Depending on scale of application systems may include up to
ten (10) WA-MA120N or WA-MA240N mixing power
amplifiers for expansion to up to 30 zones.

Broadcast Simultaneously To
Multiple Remote Areas
For example, facilities with multiple buildings can have a
WA-MA120N or WA-MA240N installed in each building. Via
the simultaneous broadcast BUS I/O connector, broadcasts
can be directed to selected all buildings at once.
Program Broadcast
With the optional WU-ZM001E Sound Message Unit, an
SD memory card can be used to store MP3 data to be
broadcast for a week at specified days and times. The SD
memory card holds 100 messages.
Troubleshooting
The optional WU-ZS001E Surveillance Unit checks at
preset intervals (or 24-hours a day) for overheating and
sound and speaker irregularities.
Reliable Cooling
Cooling fan control is provided by two thermal sensors
monitoring temperatures inside the case.

*When (2) and (4) occur simultaneously and inputs compete, mixing occurs.
Sound level can be adjusted.
Cable Extension
When you need to broadcast to distant locations, the optional Booster Power Amplifier allows you to extend the speaker cable as far as necessary.
