JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier

The JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier is a two channel mixer amplifier from JBL's CSMA Family of products.  This mixer/amp features 8 mixer channels. The sharp front panel features volume controls for each channel, a master volume control, adjustable bass and treble rotary controls, and a power switch. Clean and straightforward! No endless lines of buttons and adjusters. The Volume controls are backlit with colored rings to make them visible even when used in dark places. The amplifier can drive 8? and 4? loads, and can also be used with 70V and 100V distributed audio systems without the need for a separate transformer. The JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier can be used with the JBL CSR-V in wall volume controls.  (Must be purchased separately).  fThe JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier has a built-in universal power supply so it can easily accept AC voltages from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60Hz. This JBL CSMA2120 Commercial Series mixer amplifier is manufactured under HARMAN's GreenEdge environmental initiative.  Product materials are made from recycled metals and environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes are used for a greener footprint.

DriveCore

The JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier uses DriveCore technology developed by Crown, another Harman brand. DriveCore technology integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage, and fuses everything into a chip the size of a dime. This significantly reduces the size and weight of the mixer-amps into a 1U rack space.  

Phantom Power

Phantom power (27V) can be applied to all microphone inputs by turning on the Phantom Power switch (one of the unit's DIP switches).  

Hi-Z Switch

The JBL CSMA2120 8-Channel 120W Commercial Mixer Amplifier is configured to drive low impedance speakers (4 Ohms, minimum). The unit has two DIP switches, one for each amp, that will configure the unit to drive 70V or 100V speaker systems independently and directly. When driving these high impedance speakers, the amplifier automatically inserts a 70Hz high-pass filter.  

Vox Function

Voice-activated ducking, or the VOX function, is available on input channels 1 and 5. This function causes attenuation of the overall output level of the amplifier when the input levels on channels 1 and/or 5 reach a set threshold. A designated trim pot is provided on the two channels for setting the audio input level required to activate ducking. A typical usage of the VOX function is to automatically lower the background music in the room while making announcements over the audio system. After the announcement is made, the background music returns to its previously set level.  

Sleep Mode

 To save energy, the unit is designed to go into sleep mode when no signal is present for approximately 30 minutes. When the input signal returns, the amp will wake up and return to normal operating mode.  

Remote Volume Control

Two RJ-45 ports are provided on the back panel for plugging in up to 2 CSR-V remote volume controllers via Ethernet cables. One RJ-45 port is provided to control the volume for Amp 1, and one port is provided for Amp 2.  

Input & Output

• dual RJ-45 connectors for use with in-wall volume controls (not included)
• dual 5-pin Euro-block Priority input connectors (channels 1 and 5) with vocal override for announcements
