Crown Audio 1160MA - Manual

®
180MA, 280MA and 1160MA are
high-value mixer-amplifi ers for commercial
and industrial audio. They provide 4-ohm
and constant-voltage outputs (70V and 100V).
Some applications include schools, hospitals,
factories, restaurant/retail, houses of worship,
fi tness facilities, A/V boardrooms, prisons, and
small offi ces. Typical uses are paging, background
music, security and evacuation instructions.
The mixer-amps vary in their number of inputs,
number of outputs, and power range:
• 180MA has 4 inputs and one 80W power ampli-
fi er for single-zone systems.
• 280MA has 8 inputs and dual 80W power ampli-
fi ers for two-zone systems.
• 1160MA has 4 inputs and one 160W power
amplifi er for single-zone systems.
Input routing allows each input to be assigned to
any output. This drastically reduces the need for
additional mixers or amplifi ers (or both) when
systems require either more inputs or outputs.
However, each mixer-amplifi er can be upgraded as
a facility expands. For example, you can add more
mixers for more inputs, or add more power amps
to handle more zones.
Other features include priority muting, phantom
power, and capability for remote volume control.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Power Switch: Pushbutton on-off switch. The
power switch does not affect the 24V DC auxiliary
power input.
Input Volume Controls: Microphone/line, four in
180MA and 1160MA, eight in 280MA. Detented
potentiometers with knobs.
Tone Controls: Bass and Treble non-detented
recessed potentiometers on each input channel.
Bass ±10 dB at 100 Hz, Treble ±10 dB at 10 kHz.
Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates power on.
Input Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED, one
for each input channel, illuminates when input
signal exceeds –24 dBu (line) or –70 dBu (mic).
Output Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED,
one for each output channel, illuminates when
output signal level exceeds 100 mV (45 dB below
full power) from the 4-ohm tap. Does not respond
to signals from the AMP INPUT connector.
