| Musitec Portable Public Address Systems
Thank you for considering a Musitec Portable Public Address System. Musitec systems are designed to provide a convenient and reliable means of voice and instrument amplification. Musitec currently offers three systems to meet various sound needs. The Musitec Deluxe model is a 100-watt RMS system that accepts both high and low impedance microphones with either 1/4″ or XLR jacks. For intermediate sound solutions, the 75-watt RMS Musitec Workhorse model provides support for both high and low impedance microphones with 1/4″ jacks. And finally, the 50-watt RMS Musitec Basic model accepts low impedance microphones with 1/4″ jacks and high impedance microphones with 1/4″ jacks. It is recommended that only specially designed Musitec speaker systems be used with the above units. The Musitec Deluxe and Workhorse models can be matched with both the Titan and Blaster Series speaker systems. Only the Musitec Blaster series speaker system is recommended for the basic model.
