MA2030 

Power Amplifier

Overview

The Yamaha MA2030 Lo-Z/Hi-Z Switchable Class-D mixer amplifier is equipped with 3 types of selectable stereo inputs, 2 mic inputs and powerful DSP functions for high-quality music playback and microphone use. It comes equipped with an advanced DSP functions for music playback and microphone use (Feedback Suppressor, Priority Ducker, and Leveler). It also has bass and treble stereo source EQ with enhancer function. The MA2030 has a built-in speaker EQ optimum for Yamaha VXC/VXS series speaker. Service zone can be expanded by adding a PA2030. It offers a remote volume control and microphone on/off switching via the optional DCP control panels (DCP1V4S, 1 DCP panel per unit). The amplifier intelligent protection function ensures safe, reliable operation. A space-saving 1U rack size (*sufficient space must be provided above and below the unit for airflow and cooling.). The MA2030 certified as Yamaha Eco products.

Features

• Supporting Lo-Z (30W @3Ω/4Ω) and Hi-Z (60W x1ch, 70V/100V) speaker systems

• Bass and treble stereo source EQ with enhancer function

• Built-in speaker EQ optimum for Yamaha VXC/VXS series speaker

Designed for effortless everyday use

The MA/PA Series packs Yamaha’s decades of commercial audio experience and know-how into compact, powerful, and reliable amplifiers protected by a rugged metal chassis. The MA/PA Series feature interfaces that have been specifically designed for effortless operation. A layout that gives priority to the frequently used output volume knob while other controls are visually subdued, for example, significantly enhances control efficiency in normal day-to-day operation. What’s more, there is no need for computers or complex programming procedures for installation or operation. After a quick, easy setup procedure that requires no special knowledge or skill, the system is ready to deliver outstanding sound in a wide range of applications.

Yamaha DSP features for enhanced music and microphone operation

The versatile lineup of the MA/PA Series was developed to cover a diverse range of small to mid-sized installations - often needing only a single model to power the entire sound system. Features that contribute to high quality music playback and microphone use include Feedback Suppressor which effectively eliminates unwanted feedback, Priority Ducker which smoothly adjusts the background program level when a microphone is used for announcements simultaneously, and Leveler, an intelligent algorithm that keeps overall volume constant regardless of changes in source level.

Safe and efficient in any environment

At the heart of MA/PA Series is a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier that delivers sufficient power for small scale applications while consuming a minimum of power during operation. Intelligent protection functions inherited from Yamaha’s flagship touring power amplifiers are included in the power supply and amplifier sections to prevent damage to the amplifier as well as the connected speaker system in the case of overload.

Supports Lo-Z and Hi-Z speaker systems

The MA/PA Series directly supports low impedance and high impedance speaker systems without the need for additional transformers or other hardware that can take up valuable installation space and increase costs. When used to drive a 3Ω or higher low-impedance speaker system (3Ω/4Ω selectable) the MA2030 amplifier delivers up to 30W per channel into two channels. With a high-impedance 70V or 100V line connection output is a single channel at up to 60W. With MA2030 which has one output channel, the similar system can be composed by combining two units of amps. The MA2030  mixing amplifier offers flexible connectivity to adapt to a wide range of applications. MA2030 comes equipped with 2 mic inputs (XLR combo jack and Euroblock) and 3 stereo inputs (RCA pin). The XLR combo jack in the front panel makes speaking engagements fast and easy.

Flexible EQ functions

The MA2030 features bass and treble stereo source EQ controls. With EQ knobs of MA2030 front panel, the low and high frequency contours of　the stereo input sources can be adjusted. The source EQ also includes an enhancer function* that adds harmonics as necessary for improved sound.

Build a system that meets your needs

The MA/PA Series is capable of controlling input sources and volumes for two separate areas (source / volume zoning). For example, in an apparel store with the women’s section downstairs and the men’s section upstairs, or in a restaurant with dinner tables and a bar area, different background music and announcements can be delivered at different volumes to best complement the atmosphere of each environment. A MA2030 system combined with a PA2030 can cover two service areas with volume zoning. For example, as shown in the image, background music can be played inside a cafe at a low volume level while the same music plays at a moderate level for an outdoor terrace.

Remote control from optional dcp series digital control panel

The optional DCP control panels* allow remote volume control, microphone ON/OFF switching, and triggering the built-in chime for announcements. * DCP4V4S, DCP1V4S and DCP4S, up to two units in total, can be connected to MA2120 and PA2120. One unit of DCP1V4S can be connected to MA2030.
