The PRM-4P600 is a 600 W power amplifier with
powerTANK technology that flexibly delivers the total
power over its 4 channels.
The amplifier is ideally suited to background music
and clear voice announcement applications such as: powerTANK powerTANK is a reservoir of available amplification
power that is deployed flexibly across the 4 channels
of the amplifier. There is no need to set up the
powerTANK as it adapts to the requirements of each
zone or output without extra manual configuration of
each individual channel. Variable Load Drive Variable Load Drive (VLD) ensures that the
powerTANK capacity is utilized efficiently, providing
consistent power to any channel with any impedance. dualCOOL The dualCOOL thermal design means that the
amplifier typically operates as a convection cooled
amplifier, but in extreme thermal conditions the amplifier is also equipped with an intelligent
multi-speed fan to ensure maximum performance and
reliability in any application. ecoRAIL ecoRAIL’s power consumption is similar to a regular
standby level, yet ecoRAIL still produces audio output
suitable for background music levels, and the Auto
Power Down (APD) mode can be engaged to further
reduce power consumption to less than a watt when
there is no signal present for extended periods.
amp-LINK
The single cable installation feature of amp-LINK is
compatible with AES72-1E (RJ45 connectors) wired
devices. This solution provides easy installation for all
four channels without needing to wire all the
connections individually. PFC power supply Equipped with a PFC power supply and protection
features usually reserved for the professional power
amplifiers, means that the amplifier resists complete
shutdown situations and will always perform at its
best under all conditions. Architects’ and engineers’ specifications The 4-channel amplifier shall have a total power of
600 W, be able to adapt the power of the output
channels with power sharing in either 4 ohm, 8 ohm,
70 V or 100 V conditions on any channel
simultaneously. The amplifier housing shall be a
1” rack unit size design. The amplifier shall have a
thermal design that can operate as passive cooled
device, but also be able to activate forced air-cooling when required under extreme conditions, to avoid
reduction in available power. The reliable thermal
operating range of the device shall be < 45 °C without
reduction or shutdown. The amplifier shall have an
automatic power down mode that can be turned on or
off with a standby consumption of < 1 W. The
amplifier shall also have a low power consumption
feature whereby significant power consumption is
reduced maintaining the output modulation suitable
for background music. The amplifier shall be able to
connect audio as either input or through to other
devices using the AES72-1E wiring protocol. The
amplifier shall be equipped with a PFC power supply
and protections to ensure reliable and safe operation
including High Frequency Limiter (HFL), Output
Current Limiter (OCL), Rail Supervision Limiter (RSL),
High Frequency Protection (HFP), DC Protection
(DCP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Mains Fail
Protection (MFP), Output Balance Protection (OBP),
Over Temperature Protection (OTP), Over Voltage
Protection (OVP).
