EAW CAM160 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
Part No. 0019318 Rev. A 11/08
DESCRIPTION
The EAW Commercial CAM160 is an integrated audio mixer and
power amplier outtted with comprehensive input/output facilities
and feature sets to provide exceptional versatility from a highly cost-
eective package. Designed for a wide range of xed installation
applications, the CAM160 oers “all in one” functionality without
need for add-ons such as expansion modules.
The CAM160 is equipped with six actively balanced combination
mic/line inputs as well as individual adjustable potentiometers for
line level input, mic level input and mic level input with 24-volt DC
phantom power. Input 1 also oers the exibility of an integrated
transformer for connection to telephone paging systems.
Inputs 1 and 2 are divided into four discrete input sections: a
combination XLR/TRS connector, Phoenix connector, or terminal
strip. Meanwhile, Inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 oer both Phoenix connectors
and terminal strips. Two pairs of RCA connectors allow unbalanced
auxiliary (Aux) signals to enter the amplier via Aux 1 and Aux 2,
both of which are attenuated by a potentiometer on the front of the
amplier.
Two levels of priority can be established on Inputs 1 and 2, initiated
with external contact closures or adjustable signal threshold levels.
External volume control is possible through a Phoenix connector
and user supplied potentiometer. A two-position Phoenix connector
allows the internal fault relay to be connected to redundant systems.
And, an adjustable pre-announcement chime is also included.
Front panel controls include a level control for each input, a toggle
switch for Aux 1 or Aux 2 selection, and one Aux master level control
for the selected Aux. Low and high EQ controls oers 12 dB of boost
or cut at 100 Hz and 10 kHz, respectively. A master volume control
aords output volume control, while distinctive LEDs indicate power
(green), signal (amber), overload (red), and fault (red).
The CAM160 provides 160 watts of output power at 100 volts,
70.7 volts, 25 volts and 4 Ohms. An intelligent output stage is fully
protected against permanent damage caused by overloading, shorts
and thermal faults.
The CAM160 will operate on 100 volts to 240 volts AC power (50/60
Hz), and is supplied by a detachable IEC power cord. A combination
banana plug/binding post connection is also provided for
connecting an external 24-volt DCbackup battery.
