TOA Electronics, Inc., a subsidiary of TOA Corporation, is proud to announce their win in the 5th annual 2016 Sound & Video Contractor Innovative Products Awards for their new MA-725F-AM Matrix Amplifier. These Awards honor electronic and mechanical innovation across the full range of ProAV products. The readers of SVC selected winners from submitted professional AV products that shipped between November 1, 2015, and November 1, 2016.

This exciting new mixer-amplifier was developed from TOA's years of experience providing background music and paging solutions for the retail/hospitality industry and in cooperation with our biggest customers. The MA-725F-AM is designed to address the demand for a simpler and more cost-effective, mid-level background music and paging system needing higher power with multiple zones.  The MA-725F-AM provides many of the advanced features of higher-priced products, but without the complicated setup or programming required by many other solutions.

Built around a high-quality 6-input digital matrix mixer (with 4 inputs for BGM or line sources and two balanced inputs for priority sources, like paging mics or message players) paired with a 4 x 250W (@70V or 100V) Class D amplifier and a simple "analog-like" user-interface, the MA-725F-AM is one of the most cost-effective, efficient & flexible workhorse products ever offered for BGM applications.

The digital mixer section also features a menu of 64 speaker EQ presets (selectable by dip-switch), factory-loaded to optimize the sound of most popular TOA PA speakers. It even provide settings to allow bi-amping with subwoofers. Custom EQ presets may also be stored in these memory slots. TOA will also offer a non-powered (MM-700F-AM) Matrix Mixer only version for use with other amplifiers. The unit also operates on power from 110-240VAC, so it will work virtually anywhere in the world.

The optional WP-700-AM wall controller for volume and source selection, which connects easily via a single CAT5 cable to each of the four output channels, is also available.
