Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- All-in-one bundle includes the mixer/amplifier and two ceiling speakers, simplifying purchasing for small installations.
- Priority muting via VOX or external switch ensures paging announcements are heard clearly over background music.
- Supports 8 ohm, 70V, and 100V output modes, providing flexibility for different commercial wiring standards.
- Three input channels with both balanced Phoenix and RCA connections accommodate professional and consumer audio sources.
- Bass and treble tone controls allow on-the-fly adjustment without external processing.
👎 Cons
- At 35W total amplifier output, the system is limited to small spaces and cannot drive large speaker arrays at high volume.
- Included Bogen ceiling speakers are rated at only 4W each with a frequency response of 50 Hz to 12 kHz, which lacks high-frequency clarity for music-critical applications.
- No built-in Bluetooth or network audio input, requiring an external adapter for wireless streaming.
- Limited to three input channels, which may not be enough for venues needing multiple microphone zones plus music.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of audio sources can I connect to the Crown 135MA?
The 135MA has three inputs — a balanced Phoenix connector for professional audio or paging microphones, and stereo RCA jacks for music players, computers, or phone systems.
Does the 135MA support priority paging over background music?
Yes, it includes priority muting triggered either by VOX (voice-activated) or an external switch, automatically ducking background audio when a paging signal is detected.
Can this system be used with 70V or 100V distributed speaker lines?
Yes, the amplifier outputs at 8 ohm, 70V, or 100V, making it compatible with standard commercial distributed speaker installations.
What is the power output and is it sufficient for the included speakers?
The amplifier delivers 35W, and each included Bogen ceiling speaker is rated at 4W, so the system has ample headroom for two speakers with capacity to add more on the same line.
Does the 135MA include any tone shaping controls?
Yes, it has dedicated bass and treble controls for adjusting the overall tonal balance of the output.
