Description
Download Manual The HD-MA35AX is a compact mixer amplifier designed to deliver background music, paging, and music-on-hold in small to medium installations. This unit provides two amplifier zones including a 35 W main zone and a 2 W secondary zone. The product ships with a worldwide 24 Vdc power supply for global deployments.
Key features include three shared inputs with individual level controls, front-panel bass and treble tone controls for the main zone, and automatic or manual priority ducking via VOX or contact closure. The main zone uses a high-efficiency Class D output stage and includes an analog compressor/limiter to preserve audio fidelity and prevent clipping. Remote master level control is available via VCA 0 to 10 Vdc or optional RDL wall controls.
Performance specifications include a 35 W RMS constant-voltage main output selectable for 25 V, 70 V, or 100 V systems and a 2 W RMS 8 Ohm secondary output that also provides a 600 Ohm transformer-balanced MOH output. Frequency responses and noise figures are tuned for clear voice and music reproduction, and THD+N is kept below 0.5 percent at the compressor threshold. The compressor provides dynamic time constants and a threshold set 2 dB below rated output to increase average loudness while preventing clipping.
Connectivity is flexible with a balanced mic/line input on a detachable terminal block and two RCA unbalanced stereo inputs summed to mono. Balanced line outputs on a detachable terminal block allow feeding other equipment or amplifiers, and a ground-referenced 24 Vdc output is provided to power optional external RDL modules. Front- and rear-panel controls and indicators make setup and daily operation straightforward.
Typical applications include background music and paging systems in retail, small offices, houses of worship, and hospitality environments. The unit supports paging priority over background sources and supplies music-on-hold outputs for telephony integration. Its compact footprint and low thermal output from the Class D stage make it suitable for shelf, cabinet, or rack-shelf installations.
Installation is installer-friendly with detachable terminal blocks for balanced inputs and outputs, RCA inputs for line sources, front-panel user controls for Zone 1, and rear-panel trimmers for Zone 2. The included universal 100 to 240 Vac power supply delivers regulated 24 Vdc to the amplifier housing. The HD-MA35AX is built and tested in the U.S.A. and includes thermal and short-circuit protection for reliable continuous operation.
