The Cloud VMA120 and VMA240 are cost-effective mixer-amplifiers for use in all types of commercial premises. They have been designed to be as simple to install and operate as possible, but offer a useful range of features and configuration options.
The units are mono power amplifiers combined with a simple mixer stage. The two models are identical in terms of facilities, and differ only in the maximum power output available - 120 W or 240 W respectively. They may be used to drive either low-impedance loudspeakers directly (4 ohms minimum) or 25/70/100 V-line loudspeaker distribution systems. The two different types of speaker system cannot be driven simultaneously. A highpass filter, selectable by internal jumper, minimises the effect of transformer saturation at low frequencies when driving 25/70/100 V-line systems.
The units have four stereo line inputs (typically for connection of music sources), including an AUX input in the form of a 3.5 mm jack socket on the front panel to permit the easy connection of laptops, tablets and similar devices. Two balanced microphone inputs are also provided: phantom power is available at each, selectable by internal jumper. A high-pass filter for each mic input may also be selected by internal jumper: this reduces the effects of handling and breath noise. All mic and line inputs (except the AUX input) have a preset-type gain control adjacent to the input connectors on the rear panel.
