MPA 152 Plus

The Extron MPA 122 Integrated Mini Power Amplifier provides stereo amplification for speaker systems in classrooms and other applications requiring compact, economical audio solutions. It is an ideal step-up from a basic classroom system utilizing built-in video projector speakers. The MPA 122 delivers 11 watts rms per channel into 4 ohms and 7 watts rms into 8 ohms. It is optimized for driving four 8 ohm ceiling speakers, two in parallel per channel.

The MPA 122 accepts balanced and unbalanced stereo inputs, and provides outputs as stereo or dual mono audio signals. Front panel controls are provided for bass, treble, and input level. The front panel also features switches for stereo/dual mono operation and a clip limiter switch which automatically reduces the gain to prevent distortion or amplifier clipping. The MPA 122 features remote control capability for volume adjustment and muting.

Features

  • Inputs: Balanced or unbalanced stereo on a captive screw connector; unbalanced stereo on RCA connectors and a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack
  • Speaker outputs: 5 mm captive screw connector
  • Improved Class D amplification design — Provides lower distortion and higher efficiency with less heat than traditional Class D designs.
  • 11 watts rms per channel into 4 ohms, 7 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms
  • THD + Noise: 0.1%, 1 kHz at nominal level for 1 watt, 8 ohm load
  • Front panel bass, treble, and input level controls
  • Balanced and unbalanced buffered audio inputs — Audio input is balanced or unbalanced on a captive screw connector, and unbalanced on both RCA connectors and a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack. The three inputs are individually buffered, and can be connected to three separate sources at the same time without altering performance.
  • Front panel clip limiter switch to prevent amplifier clipping
  • Remote volume and mute control port — In basic installations without third-party control systems, this port allows the MPA 122 to be remotely controlled using the optional Extron VCM 100 Series volume and mute or VC 50 volume controllers.
  • Plenum rated - meets UL 2043 for heat and smoke release, excluding power supply
  • Rack-mountable 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure
  • External universal power supply included, part # 70-380-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility.
