DXA 2120 Digital Mixer/Amplifier
integrates digital signal processing with two powered output
channels. Designed as a mixer or router for business music
applications, it features an LCD panel and controls behind the
front cover for easy access.
The mixer/amplifier provides six inputs, including four Mic/Line
inputs, one Page input, and one Direct input. The Direct input
overrides all sources playing on the output channels. Each Mic/
Line input provides both RCA and Euroblock jacks.
Two output channels are wired for 120 watts at 4 ohms each. For
70/100 volt applications, a jumper is required for proper configu-
ration. In 70/100V applications, the two outputs will operate at
100 watts per channel. A third output is available for an auxiliary
line out.
Additional features include:
Signal Mixing: In Mixer Mode, simultaneously combines up to
four inputs for any of the three outputs.
Signal Routing: In Dual Mono Select Mode, one or two inputs
go to each of two outputs in different zones and can be
remotely selected. In Stereo Select Mode, two stereo sources
go to one output zone and can be remotely selected.
