Power Dynamics PDV360MP3 - 360W/100V PA Mixer Amplifier with 4 Zones and Multimedia Player

The Power Dynamics PDV360MP3 is a professional, multifunctional PA mixer amplifier designed to provide a complete and reliable audio solution for commercial installations and public spaces. With a powerful 360W output, this unit can handle 100V line sound systems as well as low-impedance (8 ohm) configurations, offering exceptional versatility for any sound reinforcement project.

Its main feature is the management of four speaker zones, allowing independent volume control for each zone via six-step attenuators. This makes it the ideal choice for venues requiring distinct sound environments in different areas, such as hotels, shopping malls, or office buildings. Flexibility is key to its design, integrating a complete multimedia player that includes a USB port, SD card slot, FM radio tuner, and a Bluetooth receiver for wireless audio streaming from any compatible device. This eliminates the need for external audio sources, simplifying installation and daily use.

Designed for safe and clear communications, the PDV360MP3 incorporates advanced priority functions. Microphone input 1 automatically overrides other audio sources to make important announcements. It also features dedicated inputs for paging telephone systems and connections for fire alarm panels (24V), ensuring that evacuation messages and alerts are transmitted with priority to all areas. Built with a robust housing and overload protection, this amplifier is designed for continuous and reliable operation.

Product benefits

The PDV360MP3 amplifier centralizes all sound system control in a single, easy-to-use device. For business owners, this means being able to provide background music in different areas, such as the shop, warehouse, and offices, at varying volumes from a single unit. Integrated Bluetooth and an MP3 player reduce costs and complexity by eliminating the need for additional equipment. For installers, the clear connections, rack-mountability, and robust construction ensure a clean, professional, and long-lasting installation. Priority and emergency functions provide crucial added security for any public space, ensuring that important announcements are always heard.

Use cases

This amplifier is the perfect solution for a wide variety of commercial and public installations. It's ideal for supermarkets and shopping centers, where background music can be combined with zoned promotional announcements. In schools and colleges, it facilitates the broadcast of announcements to the general public or to specific classrooms. In hotels and restaurants, it allows for the creation of different sound environments in the reception area, dining room, bar, or hallways. It's also an excellent choice for town halls, banks, offices, and any location that requires a reliable, versatile, and zoned public address system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust the volume of each of the 4 zones independently?
Yes, the front panel has a selector to activate or deactivate each zone and a 6-step attenuator to control the volume of each one individually.

What type of speakers can I connect?
It can connect speakers designed for 100V line operation, which is most common in installations with many speakers or long cable runs. It also offers a low-impedance output for connecting standard 8-ohm speakers.

How does microphone priority 1 work?
When you speak into a microphone connected to MIC 1 input, the volume of all other audio sources (music from the MP3 player, other line inputs) is automatically reduced, allowing the announcement to be heard clearly. When you finish speaking, the music volume returns to its original level.

Is it possible to connect a fire alarm system?
Yes, the amplifier has 24V contacts specifically designed for integration with an alarm panel. When activated, the alarm system takes control of the amplifier to broadcast emergency evacuation messages throughout all zones.

Do I need any extra equipment to play music from my mobile phone?
No, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth receiver, you can pair your mobile phone, tablet, or computer directly with the amplifier and stream audio wirelessly without the need for cables or other devices.
