AMIS120XL Circuit Description The ACM120XL is a 120 watt mixer amplifier designed for commercial installations. It features 8 microphone/line input channels and can be used for either low impedance (4 or 8 ohm) or [70v/100v] (240V version)/[25v/70v] (115V version) line speaker systems. A host of unique features including multiple levels of muting, a VOX relay output, 24 VDC operation and VCA master level control make the AMIS120XL a very flexible amplifier.

distortion. This makes for nice sounding current limit that allows for soft distorted peaks to get through but limits continuous excessive current while maintaining thermal stability. Speaker Output Terminal Strip (240V version) The screw terminals on the left hand side of the strip allow access to the direct speaker outputs of the amplifier.
The balanced XLR line level output provides a maximum of 700mV to allow for the connection of up to 6 power amplifiers. Pin connections are: pin 1-earth; pin 2-signal (hot +); pin 3-signal (cold -). The output is electronically balanced with an inverting op-amp and buffered with voltage follower op amps.

The switched contacts are used to break the signal internally. When an external processor is used via the insert point, it only affects the power amplifier section and line output of the AMIS120XL. The tape output remains unprocessed. VOX Relay Output The terminal strip to the immediate right of the AC inlet features a relay output.

Tone Generators Four separate tones are available from the in-built tone generator board. All four tones can be activated individually via a contact closure connected to the screw terminals on the rear of the amplifier. When any tone is activated, all inputs (except for inputs 1, 2 and 3) will automatically mute. The level of the tone generator is controlled by the pot labeled R63 (located behind the Bass adjustment pot).

(47uF) through R69 (100k) and the release by the discharge if C4 through R92 (2k2). The other channels operate in a similar manner. Note that VCA will mute at 250mV (-80dB) below the reference voltage so the muting will occur only over the range of approximately (depends on VCA production batch) 7.2V to 7.5V. The charging of the capacitor occurs from approximately 1V to 8.1V.

4.5 Check the output of all channels. 4.6 Measure 25V line 70V LINE, 8ohm (32Vac) tol.5%. 4.7 Check tape outputs (L and R) 250mV (+50mV) (Measure on RCA socket). 4.8 Check line outputs. Approx. (2.7V ± 1.5V). Function Checks : 5.1 Check that you have the header link’s on to a) Vox muting enabled (Right Side).

on the sine wave if it is there then reduce the voltage to 35V out and then short output. Release the shorting and check for the output. 11 Remove input signal and check for Hum & Noise (<20mVrms). 12 Reset volumes to minimum. 13 Disconnect from test bench and inspect for scratches on external paint.
