TOA P-906MK2 900 Series

A friend of mine works for a vending company, they recently bought another company in Detroit and cleaned out their warehouse. Along with 200 or so 45's he gave me this amp. I don't have a clue if it works, haven't powered it on. I've looked over the manual and it's not very informative to me. Hoping one of you guys have seen an amp like this. The input is the confusing part to me, the manual (
http://www.toaelectronics.com/media/P-906_12_24MK2.pdf
) calls it a "high-impedance direct input". Does this amp have any practical home stereo use? Could a set of RCA's be stripped on one end to connect to the input? Or would a line level input be needed?

Found an answer digging through the endless eBay and sales results on google. Stripped RCA's should work. It's also a mono amp, so as far practical uses I don't think I have any.

When you get into 25 and 70 volt outputs the amp is more suited to public address applications.

Don't know much, but I do know that Toa specializes pro audio. Like Harry said, 25/70 volt. That's how you pump shitty music into restaurants and department stores normally.

Yes. More succinctly, it's how you drive a hundred speakers without having to worry about impedance. The matching transformer is at the speaker end rather than the amp end.

So I either need buy a shopping mall or wire up the whole house. Neither of those are going to happen. If any of you do have a use for it, you can have it.

Not as big as the front yard. The wife has it in her head that this time next yard we'll be moving. If we get her Aunt's house, the backyard is 2 acres. I see where this is going, buy a house with a yard big enough to have hootenannies!

Fed the correct frequency, might it be like an electric pet fence?
