General Description
The TOA P-906MK2, P-912MK2 and P-924MK2 Power Amplifier deliver up to 60 watt , 120 watt and 240
watt of power re pectively at le than 0.5% total harmonic di tortion (THD) from 20 to 20,000 Hz
(tran formerle 4-ohm output). The power amplifier have a high-impedance direct input and an input port
(edge connector) to accept one plug-in module. Module election i determined by application among the
TOA plug-in module .
The power amplifier have a low-cut witch for a cutoff frequency of 60 Hz, and an input-level witch for input
en itivity of 1V (0 dBV) or 100mV (–20 dBV). Output terminal provide connection for 4-ohm and 8-ohm
peaker , plu 25-volt and 70-volt peaker di tribution outlet . With plug-in module , the power amplifier
may be u ed a a PA amplifier.
The power amplifier can be rack mounted by u ing optional rack mounting bracket MB-25B(P-906MK2,
P-912MK2) and MB-35B(P-924MK2). The optional perforated panel PF-511 provide uitable ventilation,
fini hed in color to match the power amplifier .
Features
1. Wide frequency re pon e : 20 ~ 20,000 Hz ± 1 dB
2. Low di tortion and noi e level
3. Excellent output regulation
4. A full range of plug-in module
5. Self-protecting circuitry de ign
6. Varied output impedance : 4 ohm , 8 ohm , 25 and 70 volt
7. Input level witch ( electable 1000 mV/100 mV)
8. Portable or rack mounting type

Input onnections
Two type of input terminal are provided on the rear for input connection .
(1) 2P terminal (marked HOT, COM)
It i provided for direct input (unbalanced, 10k ohm ) without u ing plug-in module. Thi terminal i
directly connected with a potentiometer in ide.
(2) Plug-in module input
Select the de ired module according to application.
DIRECT INPUT TERMINAL and MODULE INPUT are not u able imultaneou ly.
Plug the module into the INPUT PORT, liding it between the guide rail and ecure with two crew .
When INPUT PORT i not occupied, cover the PORT with the blank panel and ecure it with crew .
Be ure that INPUT-LEVEL SWITCH i in the proper po ition for the module u ed or the equipment
connected to DIRECT INPUT TERMINAL.
When the P-906MK2, P-912MK2 or P-924MK2 i u ed in combination with a mixer preamplifier or erve
a an incremental power amplifier, normally place INPUT-LEVEL SWITCH in "1V (0 dBV) po ition.
AUTION: Module hould not be in erted or
removed while the amplifier i turned
on.

Output onnections
The peaker output of the amplifier are 4 ohm , 8 ohm , 25V and 70V.
Connect peaker to any one of the e output .
Cla 2 wiring may be u ed.
There are two type of output ;
8 ohm , 25V and 70V via output (matching) tran former
4-ohm direct output.
The connecting method differ in each ca e. Refer to the following diagram .

Operation
After all connection are made, turn power witch ON, illuminating the Power Indicator LED. The amplifier
come into operation approximately 5 econd after the power i turned on.
Volume Adjustment
Obtain de ired output level by adju ting the ma ter volume control. For normal mu ic playing or
announcement, adju t the ma ter volume control until the normal LED intermittently light . Sound quality i
deteriorated when the peak LED remain lit.
When the power amplifier i u ed in combination with a mixer preamplifier, adju t total gain at the mixer
preamplifier with the gain etting of power amplifier at maximum.
Never block ventilation hole .
The amplifier hould never be placed in area
expo ed to direct unlight.
with high humidity or du t level .
with high ambient temperature .
u ceptible to vibration.
with poor ventilation.
adjacent to heat-generating equipment.
AUTION : Do not remove the ca e or you may encounter an electric hock.
Note : When the temperature of heat ink exceed 105 °C the protection circuit i activated and the output i
di connected from the circuit. Output i automatically re tored when the temperature return to normal
operating parameter.
Servicing
Unpacking
Upon receipt of the amplifier hipment, plea e in pect for any damage incurred in tran it. If damage i
found, plea e notify your local TOA repre entative and the tran portation company immediately.
State date, nature of damage, whether any damage wa noticed on the hipping container, prior to
unpacking. Plea e give waybill number of hipping order.
Failure
Should amplifier fail, contact your neare t TOA authorized contractor or ervice center.
