60 Watt Compact Two Zone Amplifier
to Drive up to 60 Paging Speakers
The PA-60 can directly drive up to sixty (60) 8 ohm paging
Speakers or one hundred (100) 70 volt or 25 volt paging
speakers. Both channels can be fed the same input so the
PA-60 can be used as a single large amplifier, or each
channel can be fed different inputs so the PA-60 can be
used as a two zone amplifier.
This small and lightweight chassis design is possible by
utilizing new amplifier technology that is 3 times more
efficient than old designs competitors use. High efficiency
means much less heat disipation, smaller size, higher
reliability, and lower cost.
Since each input has its own gain adjustment, one zone
can be turned up louder for warehouse paging horn
speakers, and the other zone can be turned down for
office ceiling speakers. Two zones can also be helpful for
Installations in which one group of speakers is connected
to a source that provides background music using the
Viking PI-1A Paging Interface unit, and the other zone
provides only paging.
The Viking models CTG-1A or CTG-2A can be used to
add clock controlled tones with paging to both zones, or
one zone can have just paging and be free of the time
scheduled alert tones. The same can be done with the
Viking model MTG-10 in which one zone can have just
paging, and the other zone can have paging plus the 10
different siren, warble, and chime tones that the MTG-10
can provide.

PRODUCT
MANUAL
One or two PA-60's can be added to the Viking model
ZPI-4 four zone paging interface to provide either 60 watts
or 120 watts of total paging power in four zones. The
PA-60 can also be used to add additional paging power
to other Viking paging products such as the PA-2A,
PA-15, and PA-30.
The PA-60's inputs are transformer coupled so they are
floating and isolated. Because of this they can be
connected to any line level audio signal, or by turning
down the input gain control to unity gain, can be
connected directly to the output of another amplifier. This
allows the PA-60 to be connected directly to an existing
paging system speaker wire run to extend the run, with up
to 60 more speakers.
• Amplified loud paging
• Zone paging
• Add more paging power for increased paging volume
• Add more speakers to an existing paging system
