Yamaha Announces Compact MA2030 and PA2030 Power Amplifiers for Small Installations

May 19, 2014. Shizuoka, Japan – Yamaha has announced two new additions to the Commercial Installation Solutions lineup that have been specifically designed for small installations: the MA2030 and PA2030 power amplifiers..

The compact, durable MA2030 and PA2030 power amplifiers are ideal for small installations. Both models support low-impedance (30W x 2ch, 3Ω/4Ω selectable) as well as high impedance (60W x 1ch, 70V/100V selectable) speaker systems, with an interface that has been designed for easy everyday use. Setup is quick and easy, requiring no computers or complex procedures, and no special skill or experience is needed for day-to-day operation. 

The MA2030 includes three stereo line inputs and two microphone inputs with input mixing capability, plus a range of DSP functions (ducker, feedback suppressor, and automatic leveler) that facilitate BGM and microphone use in a wide range of applications. The PA2030, with two types of stereo line inputs, can be used alone or in combination with the MA2030 to drive a larger number of speakers while allowing the establishment of extra service zones with volume zoning if required. 

The currently available DCP1V4S wall-mount control panel can be connected to the MA2030 for convenient remote output volume and microphone on/off switching control. There’s also an optional, dedicated RKH1 rack mount kit that allows convenient rack mounting of the MA2030 and/or PA2030. 

“We are pleased to announce the addition of two new power amp models, the MA2030 and PA2030, to our highly regarded Commercial Installation Solutions lineup. Both models are ideally suited for use in small installations. The MA2030 offers easy operation, a number of advanced Yamaha digital signal processing functions, and input mixing capability that support small installed applications without the need for additional processing or amplification equipment” commented Chihaya “Chick” Hirai, PA department manager. “The MA2030 and PA2030 are also capable of fully realizing the expressive, natural sound potential of Yamaha VXC and VXS series speakers, and will be pivotal in creating a wide variety of sound installations optimized to our customers’ needs.”
