(March 11, 2022) Pro Audio Technology (PRO) has officially launched five new modular amplifiers designed to sidestep manufacturing issues resulting from current supply chain backups. The models, designated as MA-4400, MA-4242, MA-9900, MA-9942, and MA-9999, can power an PRO or third-party audio system.
“In 2021 it became clear that the worldwide shortage of digital and other electronic components was going to impact our ability to deliver our amplified loudspeaker controllers timely,” said Paul Hales, president and product designer for Pro Audio Technology. “Knowing we had many loyal customers with projects in the pipeline, we got to work designing a new amplifier platform that could be manufactured consistently while we wait for the supply chain to normalize. The MA series of amplifiers are the result of that initiative and will allow our integrators to complete open and upcoming audio system installations amongst global supply chain uncertainty.”
PRO’s modular amplifiers deliver between two to four channels of up to 1000W each, artfully contained in a fan-less 2U chassis. When combined with PRO’s ALC-3316, PLP-8250, or PLP-8800 loudspeaker controller/processors, installers can use the MA amplifiers to quickly and easily power, apply high resolution DSP filtering, and calibrate any PRO sound system.
“By leveraging our line of loudspeaker controllers, our dealers can now use the MA amplifiers to power larger PRO loudspeakers and subwoofers and do the signal processing for them inside the ALC or PLP units. When using the ALC-3316, it acts not only as an amplified controller for the smaller speakers in the system, but also as a multichannel digital signal processor for the MA amps – a testament to the flexibility and utility of our ALC models,” said Hales.
The entire series of MA amps can be ordered now. Dealers, representatives, and international distributors should visit PRO's website or contact PRO’s VP of Sales, Mark Goldman (mgoldman@proaudiotechnology.com) for pricing and details.
