KANSAS CITY, MO — Avlex Corporation has introduced the new MA-808 Portable Wireless PA System, which features an enclosure with retractable handles and integrated wheels for easy transport. This bi-amplified system includes a Class AB amplifier for the HF (high frequency) driver and a Class D amplifier that drives a 10-inch woofer. The unit also includes a built-in MP3 recorder/player module, support for two wireless receiver modules and storage provisions for the transmitters. For low end, the MA-808's Class D amplifier delivers 120 watts RMS. The unit's HF section is powered by a 50-watt RMS, Class AB power amp.
Featuring twin wireless receiver modules, setup utilizes MiPro's Auto-scan and ACT (Automatic Channel Targeting) functionality. This system is meant to ensure clear reception over substantial distance — free from signal dropouts and interference. Another important aspect of the MA-808's wireless design is its built-in antenna.
In addition to its wireless capabilities, the MA-808 comes with one wired microphone that can serve as an additional microphone source. Additionally, the included MP3 recorder/player module supports CDs, MP3 and SD Flash cards. The Flash card reader/writer supports MP3, WAV and WMV formats and features 128 MB of memory, with record capability up to 506 minutes (8.4 hours). Record modes include SP (standard) and LP (long). This Flash player/recorder also incorporates a built-in USB port that facilitates data transfers when connected to a PC, providing a means of placing music or other program material in the system. The innovative system records in the MP3 format to conserve memory, and with the DUP (duplicate) button, a program can be transferred from CD to Flash memory in the MP3 format. For ease of operation, the MA-808 provides a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) display panel plus an IR (infrared) remote controller.
The MA-808 is both an AC and battery-powered system. There is a rechargeable battery that can recharge while being used. Further, the MA-808 uses a universal AC switching power supply to ensure constant voltage.
The MA-808PA (without CD/MP3 player) carries a MSRP of $2,995. The MA-808PAD (with player) carries a MSRP of $3,495. Both models are expected to ship in January of 2007.
