Frequently Asked Questions
How many speakers can I connect to the PV260BT?
The amplifier is designed to handle up to 6 stereo zones, meaning you can connect a maximum of 12 speakers (2 per zone). It is compatible with both 4-ohm and 8-ohm speakers. For most setups, two 8-ohm speakers are connected in parallel per zone channel.
Is it easy to connect a mobile phone via Bluetooth?
Yes, the process is very simple. Just select "BT" mode on the amplifier, search for the device named "PV260BT" in your phone or tablet's Bluetooth settings, and pair them. Once connected, you can play any audio from your device.
Can I play a different audio source in each zone at the same time?
No, the PV260BT is a single-source array amplifier. This means you select one active audio source (Bluetooth, USB, FM, or Line-in) that is then distributed to all six zones. However, you can independently control which zones are active and the volume of each zone.
Can I speak into the microphone while the music is playing?
Yes, the microphone inputs are mixed with the selected main audio source. This allows you to make voice announcements over the background music. You can adjust the microphone volume independently so that each microphone is heard clearly.
