INTUWORX™ PAA42 Media PreAmp

The INTUWORX™ PAA42/PAA42+ is a media preamp/mixer which combines a 6-input stereo preamplifier with 2 microphone inputs and an internal media player. The microphone section features phantom power and high pass filters, and allows automatic attenuation of the music signal (talkover/priority), making this unit a popular choice with fitness instructors. The internal media player offers USB replay, FM reception, LINKOUSTIC™ 5.0 wireless audio link and an IR remote control (version PAA42+ with additional DAB+ receiver). The two master outputs with fire evacuation facilities can work mono or stereo, and the main output can be remotely controlled via RS485 with the optional VRE11 wall panel. The second output also offers the direct choice of selected inputs as sources, making it effectively a zone output. A dedicated priority line input for a chime or message player, as well as one of the stereo inputs being balanced for long cable runs, complete this unit.
