FONESTAR PROX-60

Product overview

The FONESTAR PROX-60 is a 60 W RMS single zone PA amplifier with a USB/FM player, two microphone inputs and two auxiliary inputs, for 100 V line or low impedance loudspeakers.

The PROX-60 integrates amplifier, mixer, player, microphone and auxiliary inputs in a single unit, for public address installations with 100 V or low impedance loudspeakers that need intuitive operation and a tight budget. Euroblock connectors are safe and easy to connect, the sound quality is high and the modern, discreet design is compact enough for desktop use. It suits commercial premises, educational centres, monuments, exhibitions, bars and restaurants.

All-in-one PA

One unit replaces a separate mixer, player and amplifier: MIC 1 and MIC 2 set the microphone levels, MASTER sets the source chosen with INPUT (the rear auxiliary inputs or the player and radio), and BASS and TREBLE on the rear panel shape the sound.

Priority for messages

The 100 V EMERGENCY INPUT has the highest priority and attenuates all other inputs. REMOTE MUTE attenuates every input except the emergency input, and its contact logic can be reversed with the SET button. MIC 1 has priority over MIC 2, the auxiliary inputs and the player, and MIC 2 over the auxiliary inputs and the player, by signal level set with the VOX controls.

Background music player

The USB player starts playback automatically when the amplifier is switched on and plays tracks in order, with shuffle and repeat (all, folder or one track). The digital FM tuner has presets and automatic scanning, and the player remembers the last mode, song and station.
