Main Features

• Power and Output Flexibility: It offers 240W RMS power, enough to fill medium to large spaces with sound. The dual output allows you to choose between a 100V line output, ideal for systems with multiple speakers and long distances, or a standard 8 Ohm output for conventional speakers.
• 4-Zone Management: Allows you to manage audio in four separate speaker zones. The selectors on the front panel make it easy to activate or deactivate each zone independently, giving you complete control over where the sound is heard.
• Complete Connectivity: It features a total of 6 input channels, including 2 microphone/line inputs via 6.3mm jacks, 2 stereo RCA line inputs, and a balanced XLR microphone input with phantom power (+24V) and voice priority (VOX). It also has an RCA line output for connecting to external equipment.
• Integrated Multimedia Player: Features an audio playback module with USB and SD ports for MP3 files, and a Bluetooth receiver for wireless streaming. The included remote control provides convenient playback control from a distance.
• Professional Design for Installations: Its robust metal chassis is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting, occupying only 2U of space. It is a reliable and durable unit for heavy-duty use.
• Emergency Power Supply System: Includes an input for a 24V battery (not supplied), ensuring the operation of the warning and public address system even during a power outage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I control the volume of each of the 4 zones independently?
The PRM240 allows you to activate or deactivate each of the four output zones using selector buttons on the front panel. The master volume control affects all currently active zones. For individual zone volume control, wall-mounted attenuators would be required in each area.

What type of microphones can I connect?
You can connect both dynamic microphones via the 6.3 mm jack inputs and high-quality condenser microphones to the XLR input, which provides 24V phantom power.

How does the Bluetooth connection work?
Simply select Bluetooth mode on the amplifier, search for the device on your smartphone or tablet, and pair them. Once connected, you can wirelessly play any audio from your device.

What is the purpose of the 100V output and how does it differ from the 8 Ohm output?
The 100V output is designed for distributed audio systems, where multiple speakers are connected in parallel over long distances with minimal power loss, ideal for large areas. The 8 Ohm output is the standard connection for conventional low-impedance speakers, used in more traditional sound systems.

Is emergency battery power included?
No, the amplifier has terminals to connect a 24V DC emergency power supply, but the battery or external power supply is not included.
