Power Dynamics PDV120MP3 - 120W 100V PA Mixer Amplifier with 4 Zones and Multimedia Player

The Power Dynamics PDV120MP3 is a professional and versatile PA mixer amplifier designed to provide a complete and reliable sound solution for commercial installations and public spaces. With 120W RMS of power, this unit can handle 100V line-level or low-impedance 8-ohm speaker systems, providing complete control over audio distribution in up to four distinct zones. Each zone can be independently selected and its volume precisely adjusted via 6-step attenuators, allowing for the creation of customized sound environments in different areas of the same building.

Integrated into its robust chassis, the PDV120MP3 incorporates a comprehensive multimedia player that exponentially increases its flexibility. This module allows you to play audio from multiple sources: via the USB port for external storage, the SD card slot, the FM radio tuner, or through wireless Bluetooth audio streaming. This last feature makes it easy to send music or messages from any compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer without cables. The combination of its three microphone inputs, three RCA line inputs, and a paging input ensures that you can connect virtually any external audio source, from paging microphones to CD players or laptops.

Main Features

• 4 Independent Zone Management: Allows you to distribute the audio signal to four different areas, with dedicated selectors and 6-step volume control for each. Ideal for adjusting the sound level in different rooms, hallways, or floors.
• 120W RMS Power: Offers robust and stable power to power 100V speaker systems, perfect for long cable runs, or conventional 8 Ohm speakers.
• Integrated Multimedia Player: Includes Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming, USB and SD ports for MP3 file playback, and an FM radio tuner for a wider variety of content.
• Professional Connectivity: It has 3 microphone inputs (with 48V Phantom power on Mic 1 for condenser microphones), 3 stereo line inputs (RCA) and an input for telephone paging systems.
• Priority and Emergency Functions: Mic 1 input features an override function that automatically attenuates other audio sources when someone speaks. It also includes 24V contacts for integration with fire alarm systems, ensuring the broadcast of evacuation messages.
• Tonal Control and Protection: It incorporates bass and treble controls to equalize the overall sound and an overload protection system that guarantees the durability and reliability of the equipment.
• "19" Rack Design": With a 2U height format and included mounting brackets, it integrates seamlessly into standard audiovisual equipment rack cabinets.
• Emergency Power Supply: It has a 24V DC input that allows it to be connected to a backup battery system (not included) to maintain its operation in case of a main power supply failure.
