The MA60MEDIA is billed as "an exciting new development which combines the reliability and proven versatility of Cloud mixer-amplifiers with the convenience of an on-board media player in a single, compact (2U, half-rack width) unit".
The unit plays MP3 or WMA files directly from a USB device or SD memory card plugged into the front panel of the unit, via a simple set of playback controls. Optionally, music source selection and level may be controlled remotely. All standard data rates and sampling frequencies are supported.
The MA60MEDIA may be configured to suit most paging systems. The balanced mic input (phantom power available), can be mixed with one of four music inputs; one of these may be the internal music player. Music input 2 is provided with a 3.5 mm jack input for easy connection of a portable music player, laptop or similar.
The built-in 60W power amplifier can drive both low-impedance loudspeakers, or 100 /70 /50V line systems with the addition of an easy-to-fit internal option.
