The MP-AMP30 from Crestron is an audio amplifier for applications in which audio from source equipment is directly connected to and switched by the video projector. The MP-AM30 amplifier drives the audio signal from these sources directly to external speakers.
It is suitable for use as a stand-alone amplifier or complementing a Crestron MPC line of controllers and wall plates, the surface-mountable MP-AMP30 can be installed anywhere it is needed. Class D circuitry delivers 15 watts per channel to drive one or two pairs of 8 ohm speakers or a single pair of 4 ohm speakers, supporting stereo speakers at the front of a room or mono versions in the ceiling.
Detachable output connectors facilitating the termination of speaker wiring, and RCA inputs that connect directly to the line output of a video projector or display, audio processor, mixer, or av switcher.
Rotary controls enable adjustment of overall speaker volume as well as bass and treble.
Extruded aluminium housing of the AMP30 dissipates heat, so there is no cooling fan or associated ambient noise.
