The Bluetooth-capable PA 200 MX and MD 82 AX MkII are shipping now
The Netherlands - At the recent ISE show Work Pro unveiled the first devices to allow extensive app-based control over Bluetooth: updated versions of the company’s PA 100 MX installation amplifier and MD 82 AX auto-mixer.
The PA 100 MX is Work Pro’s half-rack, three-input 100W installation amplifier with two-line inputs and one mic input, a built-in feedback destroyer and a switchable low-impedance (4/8Ω) or 70/100V output. As well as adding Bluetooth control, the new PA 200 MX being showcased at ISE doubles the power output of the PA 100 MX to 200W while offering all of the features of the original.
The MD 82 AX MkII also retains all the functions of the original auto-mixer (auto-mixing with a selectable Target level and switchable phantom power for up to eight mic channels with full bass, mid and treble EQ, a four-level automatic feedback destroyer function, and high-pass filtering) but with all of these features now additionally accessible and controllable via Bluetooth.
“Remote control has become increasingly important to the installation audio market in recent years,” explains Work Pro’s chief sales officer Juan José Vila. “While we will continue to offer networked functionality via RJ45 connectors, we realised that app-based operation via Bluetooth would provide our integration customers with a more elegant networked remote control solution. And of course, these will not be the last Work Pro units to offer Bluetooth control. Watch this space!”
