PUBLIC ADDRESS AMPLIFIER Unpacking Although your PAM-120A or PAM-340A or PAM-480A is neither complicated nor difficult to operate, we recommend you take a few minutes to read this brief manual and familiarize yourself with the important information regarding product features, setup and operation.
Optional modules can be installed in multiple configurations for convenience and ease of use. Choose the PAM-CDA (Compact Disc), PAM-T (AM/FM Tuner) or PAM-D (Cassette Deck) modules to expand the PAM-120A/340A/480A’s audio capabilities. - INDIVIDUAL INPUT GAIN CONTROLS Rear-panel gain controls for each input channel for total control of individual levels.
This LED indicates the state of the amplifier’s protection circuitry. When the Protection LED is on (illuminated), the protection circuitry is active, indicating that the unit is not operating normally. This is typically due to overheating or power limiting. Please check the Input and Output condition of the amplifier. PAM-120A/340A/480A...
PUBLIC ADDRESS AMPLIFIER Rear Panel Rear Panel (PAM-120A) 1. SPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINAL STRIP Connect up to five individual speakers to this strip. Impedances for 4Ω, 70V and 100V operation are shown below. Connect speakers whose combined impedance is equal to or higher than the rated output impedance, as shown below.

The approximate levels for these controls are as follows: mic level (-50dB ~ -60dB) MIC ATT instrument level (-30dB ~ -50dB) line level (-20dB ~ -30dB) PAM-120A/340A/480A...
NOTE: It is safe to connect most modern dynamic microphones or line level devices to the channel inputs when phantom power is activated. However, some older ribbon microphones may be damaged by phantom power, and certain unbalanced line level devices may malfunction or produce an audible hum when phantom power is active.

This input connects an external mixer or preamp with the unit’s power amp. Inserting a plug into the Amp In jack will disconnect all input signal from the unit’s internal mixer. Only signal from the external source will be heard. 13. LINK IN This line-level input connects the unit with an external mixer for expanded input channels. PAM-120A/340A/480A...

When connecting a high-impedance speaker system in parallel, you can connect speakers with a total rated input of up to 120W (PAM-120A) or 340W (PAM-340A) or 480W(PAM-480A). Total rated input of up to 120W (PAM-120A) or 340W (PAM-340A) or 480W(PAM-480A) PAM-120A/340A/480A...
