This all-in-one mixer amplifier combines 480W of power with advanced 6-zone management, making it the core of any professional sound system for environments such as shops, schools, offices, factories, hospitals, or restaurants. Its versatile design allows for the transmission of both background music with crisp sound quality and announcements and emergency messages with maximum clarity and reliability.

Built for exceptional performance and unmatched adaptability, the PMP480 is compatible with virtually any speaker configuration, offering both 70V/100V line and low impedance (4-16 Ohms) outputs. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into new or existing installations. Furthermore, it incorporates a comprehensive multimedia module and advanced priority functions, making it a powerful, complete, and easy-to-use unit for everyday applications.

Main Features

Total Power and Flexible Zoning

With a total power output of 480W, the PMP480 can power a large number of speakers. Its most notable feature is the ability to manage six speaker zones independently. Each zone has its own six-step volume attenuator on the front panel, allowing you to adjust the sound level individually for each area or room, all from a single central unit.

Complete and Professional Connectivity

The PMP480 is equipped with a wide range of inputs to suit any need. It features four balanced microphone/line inputs with Euroblock connectors, ideal for a secure and professional connection. These inputs include switchable +48V phantom power for condenser microphones and a VOX function for voice activation. Additionally, it has two stereo RCA auxiliary inputs for connecting external audio sources and an RJ45 input for remote desktop microphones.

Integrated Multimedia Module

Forget the need for external players. This amplifier integrates a versatile multimedia module that offers multiple playback options:

• Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver: For wirelessly transmitting audio from smartphones, tablets, or computers.
• USB Player: Allows you to play MP3 audio files directly from a USB memory drive.
• Internet Radio: Connect to thousands of stations worldwide via WiFi or Ethernet cable (RJ45), easily managed using the Legacy Player app.
• Auxiliary Input: A 3.5 mm jack connector on the front panel for quick connection of portable audio devices.

Advanced Priority and Emergency System

Safety and clear communication are crucial in public facilities. The PMP480 features a 3-level priority system, including a top-priority EMC input for voice evacuation systems. It incorporates a configurable chime, an evacuation siren, and the ability to record and play back a custom alarm message, ensuring that important announcements are always heard clearly above background music.

Robust and Reliable Design

Designed for continuous operation, the PMP480 is built with a rugged metal chassis. It includes advanced protection against overload, overcurrent, and overheating, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance. Its standard form factor allows for both desktop use and 19-inch rack mounting, and the necessary mounting brackets are included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I control the volume of each of the 6 zones independently?
Yes, the front panel includes 6 rotary selectors that act as 6-step attenuators, allowing you to adjust the volume level of each zone individually.

Do I need an external music player?
Not necessarily. The amplifier includes a complete multimedia module with Bluetooth, USB player and Internet Radio, covering most audio playback needs.

Is this amplifier compatible with 100V line speakers?
Yes, it is designed for public address installations and offers 70V and 100V outputs, as well as low impedance outputs (4, 8 and 16 Ohms) for conventional speakers.

How does microphone priority work?
Thanks to the VOX function, when someone speaks into a microphone set to priority, the background music volume is automatically reduced so the message can be heard clearly. Once the speaker stops, the music returns to its original level.

Can it be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes, the amplifier is the right size for rack mounting and includes the brackets (supports) necessary for its installation.
