The AtlasIED DMA-ML and AtlasIED WTSD-ML are professional mic/line preamp wall plates designed for commercial audio systems requiring clean, high-gain microphone or line-level input at the wall. Part of the AtlasIED DMA Digital Mixer Amplifier accessory line and WTSD active wall plate series, these units provide flexible, low-voltage audio integration for restaurants, schools, hospitality venues, and multi-purpose facilities.
Two versions are available to suit different system designs:
Both models share the same high-performance mic/line receiver platform, ensuring consistent audio quality and streamlined installation.
Flexible Integration for Commercial Audio Systems
DMA-ML – Direct to DMA Amplifiers
The DMA-ML connects directly to a DMA amplifier using industry-standard Cat5/6 cabling and RJ45 connectors. The installer-friendly, color-coded wiring system simplifies setup and reduces installation time.
-
Plug-and-play integration
-
Mount up to 330 ft (100 meters) from the amplifier
-
Onboard adjustable signal limiter (–3 dB to +21 dB)
-
Front-panel signal and limiter indicators
This makes it ideal for podium microphones, wall inputs in classrooms, and hospitality spaces where remote mic access is required.
WTSD-ML – Universal Mic/Line Preamp
The WTSD-ML functions as a standalone balanced mic/line preamplifier, compatible with virtually any audio system featuring a balanced line input.
-
Requires PWBOB analog interface box
-
Requires external power supply
-
High-gain balanced line output for long-distance runs
-
Install up to 100 meters (330 ft) from connected equipment
This version provides system designers with maximum flexibility beyond DMA-based systems.
Commercial-Grade Microphone Preamplifier
Both wall plates feature premium microphone preamp circuitry designed for professional environments:
-
Ultra-low noise performance
-
Mic or line level selection
-
Phantom power (for condenser microphones)
-
20 dB mic pad
-
120 Hz high-pass filter (defeatable)
-
Rotary detented level control
-
High-gain balanced output
These features ensure clean, controlled audio for speech, paging, announcements, and presentation applications.
WTSD Bus Architecture & Daisy-Chaining
The proprietary AtlasIED WTSD low-voltage bus supports flexible expansion:
-
Single or multiple WTSD wall plates on the same bus
-
Up to three WTSD devices daisy-chained
-
Audio from each device summed together
-
Independent control maintained per device
This architecture is ideal for facilities that require multiple microphone or input locations while maintaining centralized amplifier management.
Installer-Friendly Design
Both models are designed for quick and code-compliant installation:
-
Fits standard 1-gang electrical boxes
-
Compatible with low-voltage rings
-
Requires only 1.5 inches (38 mm) mounting depth
-
Surface-mount design (no cover plate required)
-
Meets low-voltage electrical codes
The slim profile and flexible mounting options make them suitable for new construction or retrofit installations.
