60W, 4 Channel Mixer Amplifier
AMIS60
Description
The AMIS60 is a 4 channel, 60 watt mixer amplifier suitable for rack or desk mounting. The
amplifier is a self contained compact unit of solid steel construction. The amplifier may oper-
ate from mains power or 24V DC.
Inputs
The AMIS60 has four universal input channels with separate level controls. Each channel will
accept balanced or unbalanced microphone, line and auxiliary inputs. The unit has industry
standard XLR microphone sockets and dual RCA auxiliary sockets for each channel. Line input
4 has a lower input sensitivity and is suitable for high level CD players. An insert point is also
featured on the rear panel for those applications where an additional EQ or feedback exter-
minator may be required.
Outputs
The AMIS60 features 100 volt, 70 volt and 8 ohm isolated transformer outputs, plus a tape
recorder output by means of dual RCA sockets. A balanced 700mV XLR output is also provid-
ed to feed up to 6 power amplifiers. A vox triggered relay output is also available on the rear
panel for activation of external devices from the vox muting circuit. In most cases this would
be used as a muting bypass relay, which when used with the appropriate external attenuator
will maintain preset paging levels irrespective of the attenuator setting.
Speaker Zone Selector
A six position push button speaker zone selector with overriding “all call” is located on the
front panel. Each of the six zone selectors switch the 100 volt speaker line output to 6 sepa-
rate speaker zones. The “all call” selector overrides all 6 zones regardless of their on/off con-
dition and places the 100 volt output to all 6 zones.
Tone Generator
The AMIS60 comes standard with an in-built four tone generator module. Tones include Bell,
Pre-announce Chime, Alert Tone (AS2220.1) and Evacuate Tone (AS2220.1). Any of these
tones may be activated from a simple contact closure connected to the rear panel of the ampli-
fier. A Pre-announce defeat switch is located on the front panel.
VCA Control
The master volume can be controlled remotely. External VCA control would normally be via a
500K pot connected to a two wire rear panel barrier strip.
Muting
VOX muting is standard on the AMIS60. A mic or line signal on channels 1 or 2 will mute chan-
nels 3 and 4. The muting function can be disabled via an internal link.
Phantom Power
Phantom Power (18V DC) is available from all mic inputs. A rear panel phantom power on/off
switch is also provided.
Protection
Internal current limiting protects the amplifier from both overload and overdrive conditions.
Australian Monitor Installation Series amplifiers feature a protection network that provides
greater stability and performance. Our amplifiers are recognised
worldwide for their reliability and this is due to the extensive levels of
current limiting which protect the amplifiers from both overload and
overdrive conditions.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The mixer amplifier shall have four universal input channels, each comprising of a balanced microphone
input with XLR female sockets and an auxiliary input using dual RCA sockets. The 100V line speaker out-
puts should be able to be switched via a six position selector with ”all call.” A balanced XLR output to
drive additional power amplifiers shall also be provided.
This unit shall offer remote master VCA control, 24V DC and mains power operation, and a vox trig-
gered relay output.
The amplifier master section shall include one master gain control, two EQ controls, one with 12dB of
cut and boost at 100Hz and the other with 9dB of cut and boost at 10kHz. Speaker outputs shall be
transformer isolated at 100V, 70V and 8 ohms. The amplifier must be capable of delivering 60 watts
RMS into an 160 ohm inductive load, with less than 0.5% distortion measured at 1kHz and with system
hum and noise less than -74dB.
The amplifier shall be an Australian Monitor Installation Series model AMIS60.
