Frequently Asked Questions

What type of speakers can I connect to the PDA-B1000?
You can connect passive speakers that can handle the amplifier's power output. It supports 4 and 8 ohm loads in stereo mode, and 8 ohms in bridged mode. The output connections are NL-4 (Speakon) type.

Is it complicated to install in a rack?
No, its design complies with the 19-inch standard and occupies 2 units in height (2U), which greatly facilitates its mounting in any standard rack alongside other professional audio equipment.

What does the "soft start" function do?
The Soft Start function protects both the amplifier and connected speakers by preventing power surges that can occur when the equipment is turned on. This increases the lifespan of the components.

Is the fan very noisy?
The cooling system features temperature-controlled fans. This means they only operate at the necessary speed based on workload and internal temperature, remaining quiet or at low speed under low usage conditions.
