FAQ
What is VOX muting?
VOX (voice-operated switch) muting automatically mutes lower-priority inputs when a higher-priority input (channels 1 or 2) detects audio, ensuring announcements override background music.
Can I use the tone generator in an emergency evacuation system?
Yes, the integrated tone generator supports evacuation, alert, and other alarm tones commonly used in building safety systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of venues can the ES120 mixer amplifier serve in the UAE?
The ES120 is ideal for small to medium commercial installations such as office meeting rooms, school audio systems, retail shops, and restaurant background music setups. Its compact 120-watt output and integrated mixing capability make it suitable for spaces that need both audio control and amplification in one unit.
Can I connect both microphone and line-level audio sources to the ES120?
Yes, the ES120 features 4 combined XLR microphone and RCA line inputs, allowing you to mix sources like microphones, music players, and auxiliary devices simultaneously. The unit includes 12V phantom power to support professional condenser microphones.
How does the VOX muting priority feature improve audio control?
VOX (voice-operated transmission) priority automatically reduces background music when someone speaks into a microphone, ensuring announcements and spoken content remain clear and prominent. This is essential in public address scenarios like schools, hospitals, and corporate offices.
What audio output flexibility does the ES120 offer for different speaker systems?
The unit provides both 100V distributed audio and 4-ohm direct speaker outputs, enabling use with either traditional commercial speaker systems or standard passive speakers. This flexibility allows you to scale installations from single-room setups to multi-zone audio environments.
Is the ES120 suitable for background music systems that need tone customization?
Yes, the integrated tone generator allows you to create custom alert sounds or test tones, and the built-in EQ controls enable audio shaping for different environments. This is useful for retail spaces, waiting areas, and facilities requiring distinct audio branding.
How does the compact 2 RU rack chassis fit into existing audio installations?
The 2 RU form factor is designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks, allowing easy installation alongside other audio components in server rooms, control booths, or technical installations. Its compact size conserves rack space while maintaining full functionality.
What are the typical lead times for the ES120 across UAE and GCC locations?
Lead times vary by location and current availability. Contact the Procure.ae team to request a quote and confirm delivery timelines for your specific site within the UAE or wider GCC region.
Does Procure.ae provide installation or setup support for the ES120 in my facility?
Procure.ae offers guidance and support throughout the procurement process. For specific installation requirements, reach out to the team to discuss your facility needs and available support options.
What does the ES120 package include, and are cables or speakers provided?
The ES120 is a standalone mixer amplifier. For a complete system, you will need to source speakers, microphones, and audio cables separately. Procure.ae can advise on compatible speakers and accessories during the quotation process.
What warranty coverage applies to the Australian Monitor ES120?
Warranty details and coverage terms are provided with your purchase documentation. Contact Procure.ae for complete warranty information and any coverage questions specific to your order.
What are the main differences between the ES120 and other Australian Monitor mixer amplifiers?
The ES120 delivers 120 watts of power with 4 combined input channels. For higher power needs, Australian Monitor offers 250-watt models like the ES250. For mixing-only solutions without amplification, the ESMIX is a cost-effective alternative.
