50 Watt Mixer Amplifier
AT-GAIN-M50-LZ
The Atlona AT-GAIN-M50-LZ is a two-input mixer amplifier designed for low impedance
education and commercial applications. The amplifier delivers either two channels of 25
watts each into 4 or 8 ohms, or a single channel of 50 watts. The GAIN-M50-LZ features two
unbalanced stereo audio inputs on RCA and 3.5 mm connections with independent level control
for each. An unbalanced 3.5 mm output allows the mixed signal to be passed to an assistive
listening system or separate amplifier.
The GAIN-M50-LZ includes unique capabilities intended for education applications. Ducking
automatically lowers the program audio level on input 1 when a teacher speaks into a
microphone system connected to the unbalanced input 2. PA sense mutes the output of the
amplifier whenever it detects activity on the school public address system. Both features ensure
important lesson material and announcements are heard clearly.
The compact, plenum rated enclosure allows the amplifier to be mounted in a variety of locations
such as under a desk or table, on the wall behind a display, or in the ceiling.
The amplifier includes an RS-232 port for automated operation from Velocity™ or third-party
control systems. It also supports remote volume control from the optional AT-GAIN-VOL
wallplate.
