The two mixers are also the first products to benefit from Allen & Heath's new Constant Power amplifier technology, which gives a full 500W RMS per side into either 4 or 8 ohms. Other key assets include a new padless preamp, internal FX unit, SPDIF output and parametric output EQ. "We are very excited about this addition to the Allen & Heath portfolio," said Mark Hopkin, purchasing manager at Academy of Sound. "The PA12 provides the perfect solution for our customer base, which often has small PA systems for producing live events in locations such as music venues, churches and schools."
"It has a good number of channels, is portable and can be desk- or rack-mounted. However, without a doubt, the USP of this product is the built in constant power functionality, which guarantees continuous sound quality in just about any circumstance. All in all the PA12 provides the perfect balance of professional quality and ease of use."
Allen & Heath also reports that two unpowered mixers from the PA series, the PA 20 and PA28, will be ready for production in July 2003.
