This unit combines a versatile five-channel mixer with a powerful 240-watt amplifier, capable of driving 4/8-ohm speakers or distributed 70V and 100V systems.

The VMA1240 is built for durability and ease of installation, fitting into a standard 2U rack space with the included hardware or functioning as a tabletop unit. It supports professional-grade inputs including balanced block and RCA connectors, and features a secure barrier strip for speaker connections.
