Background Music and Paging for One Zone, Out of a Single Rack Space
120 watts RMS into one output channel, five input channels feeding it, and both 70V/100V distributed output and 4 or 8 ohm low-impedance output on the same chassis. That combination is what a mixer amplifier is for: it replaces a separate mixer, amplifier, and paging interface in a restaurant, retail floor, or office suite. Harman builds the VMA Series for commercial integrators, with independent bass and treble on the output channel and a built-in paging chime with priority muting so an announcement ducks the music automatically.

Common Use Cases
- Restaurants, cafes, and retail floors running ceiling speakers on a 70V or 100V distributed line.
- Office suites and small warehouses that need music plus an overhead paging path from one box.
- Retrofits onto existing low-impedance speaker pairs, using the 4 and 8 ohm output instead.
- Installs with wall-plate volume control, since the unit works with JBL CSR-V wall controllers.
Notable Features
- Five input channels: balanced microphone and line inputs plus RCA line inputs at 0.775V, mixed to a single output.
- Dual output modes: 70V and 100V constant-voltage for long speaker runs, or 4 and 8 ohm direct connection for conventional pairs.
- Paging chime with priority muting: announcements automatically take precedence over program audio.
- Independent bass and treble on the output channel for tuning the room without an outboard EQ.
- 2U rack chassis with mounting hardware included, 17 inches wide and 16.3 inches deep at 20.2 lb.
Frequency response runs 20 Hz to 20 kHz with total harmonic distortion rated at 0.5 percent, and the amplifier draws 225 W in operation.
