Atlas Sound PA1001G – 100W 70V Single Channel Pole Mount Amplifier

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound PA1001G is a 100-watt single-channel amplifier designed for 70V and 100V distributed audio systems in commercial and institutional environments. Its compact 1RU half-rack form factor and patent-pending through-chassis mounting system make it the primary choice for pole-mounted projector installations where a self-contained, space-efficient amplifier is required. The PA1001G pole mount amplifier supports worldwide operation with a universal AC power supply, making it suitable for both domestic and international deployments.

Product Description

The PA1001G delivers 100 watts into a 70V or 100V distributed speaker line, covering the power requirements of most commercial paging and background music applications. Its 1RU, half-rack-wide profile allows one or two units to occupy a standard rack when used with the optional PA702-RMK rack mount kit, or the amplifier can be mounted directly through the chassis of a pole-mounted projector system—a design that eliminates the need for a separate equipment rack at the display position. The universal power supply accepts 120 to 240VAC, making international deployment straightforward. Remote turn-on is handled by either an audio sense trigger or AC trigger sensor, so the amplifier can power up automatically with the source signal or connected equipment. An optional high-pass filter reduces low-frequency content when a subwoofer is handling bass reproduction. Master remote level control is available via an external 10k ohm potentiometer, and a line output enables daisy-chaining of additional amplifiers for larger distributed systems. The PA1001G includes a mixer function with two input paths: summed RCA unbalanced inputs and a balanced input, both electrically isolated from each other and from the summing circuit. This dual-input arrangement supports simultaneous background music and paging without external mixing equipment. Idle power consumption is 16 watts and sleep mode drops to 10 watts, while full load at 70V draws 165 watts. Common deployment scenarios include boardrooms, restaurants, commercial paging systems, and background music applications.

Key Features

• 100W into 70V or 100V — Sufficient output for most commercial distributed speaker systems in small to medium commercial spaces.
• Through-Chassis Pole Mount Design — Patent-pending mounting system integrates the amplifier directly with pole-mounted video projectors, eliminating a separate rack enclosure at the display position.
• Universal Power Supply — Accepts 120–240VAC for global deployment without voltage conversion.
• Dual Input Mixing — Balanced XLR and summed RCA unbalanced inputs are electrically isolated and summed, supporting simultaneous paging and background music sources.
• Audio Sense and AC Remote Turn-On — Automatic power-up triggered by incoming audio signal or AC control voltage reduces manual intervention.
• Optional High-Pass Filter — Limits bass reproduction at the amplifier output when subwoofers are used in the system.
• Line Output for Daisy Chaining — Passes the audio signal to additional amplifiers, supporting larger distributed zones from a single source.
• External Level Control — Remote 10k ohm potentiometer input allows master volume adjustment from a distance.
• 1RU Half-Rack Form Factor — One or two units rack mount with the optional PA702-RMK kit; also mounts inside projector poles.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom audio distribution
• Conference room 70V paging systems
• Commercial meeting space background music
• Training room distributed audio
• Multi-purpose room paging and music
• Restaurant background music systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the PA1001G be rack mounted?

A: Yes. With the optional PA702-RMK rack mount kit (sold separately), one or two PA1001G units can be installed in a standard 1RU rack space.

Q: Does the PA1001G work on both 70V and 100V distributed systems?

A: Yes. The amplifier outputs 100 watts into a 70V line (50Ω) and 100 watts into a 100V line (100Ω), making it compatible with both North American 70V and international 100V distributed systems.

Q: How does the remote turn-on work?

A: The PA1001G supports two remote turn-on methods: an audio sense trigger that powers up the amplifier when it detects an incoming signal, and an AC trigger sensor for integration with room control systems.

Q: Can I connect both a microphone/paging source and a music source simultaneously?

A: Yes. The balanced input and summed RCA inputs are electrically isolated and summed, allowing simultaneous connection of a paging source and a background music source.

Q: What is the warranty on the PA1001G?

A: Contact AtlasIED or your authorized distributor for current warranty terms applicable to your region and purchase.

Q: Is the PA1001G compatible with Atlas Sound speaker lines?

A: Yes. The PA1001G is designed to drive 70V distributed speaker systems and is compatible with Atlas Sound FAP, SM, SD, and GD series loudspeakers, as well as any standard 70V or 100V speaker load.
