TOA CA-130 – 30W 1-DIN Vehicle PA Amplifier

Product Overview

The TOA CA-130 is a 30W 1-DIN vehicle-mounted public address amplifier designed for mobile PA applications in trucks, vans, buses, emergency vehicles, and other 12V DC mobile platforms. It accepts two microphone inputs and one auxiliary line input, allowing a driver or operator to make live announcements via the included hand-held push-to-talk microphone while optionally playing background audio from an AUX source. A front-panel pause function allows the operator to momentarily mute the amplifier output without disconnecting.

Standard 1-DIN form factor (approximately 182 × 50 mm face) allows the CA-130 to mount in existing single-DIN dash openings in commercial vehicles, eliminating the need for custom fabrication. Power is supplied from the vehicle's 12V DC system. A hand-held push-to-talk microphone is included in the package, providing everything needed for a complete mobile PA setup in a single SKU.

Product Description

The CA-130 features two microphone input channels with separate level controls, an AUX line input for music or recorded audio playback, a front-panel pause button, and speaker and siren connections on the rear. The included hand-held push-to-talk microphone connects to one of the MIC inputs for immediate operational use. At 30W output, the CA-130 drives a vehicle-mounted horn speaker at levels appropriate for outdoor crowd communication, parking enforcement, municipal operations, and event management. All controls are front-panel accessible for operation while the unit is dash-mounted in a vehicle.
