Introduction 

 
This 1-channel professional power amplifier provides high-value performance and  

is intended to be used in so-called distributed sound systems

The designed circuitry provides excellent sound quality and the steel chassis offers maximum 
sturdiness. The amplifier can be used in standard 19“ rack mounting or separately.  
The amplifier is equipped with LED display system, which provides information on amplifier 
status in any lighting condition.  
The connection system consists of XLR and RCA connectors for audio input and terminal block 
for 50/70/100V output.  
 

 

Distributed Sound System 

Distributed sound systems or constant voltage systems are the most economical way to create 
multi-speaker sound systems. A distributed sound system is commonly used for public places 
such as schools, factories, hotels, stores, places of worship, etc. 

 

In Europe is usual to have 100V system whereas in the USA 70V systems are usual. These 
values relate to the maximum output voltage of the amplifier. 

The main difference to a regular low-impedance system (4 or 8 Ohms) is the way of connecting 
individual loudspeakers to the loudspeaker line. Many loudspeakers, each equipped with 
a transformer, can be connected to one single output line. All of these loudspeakers have the 
same input signal and are driven by one amplifier. 
 
It is possible to use as many speakers as it is necessary as long as their total wattage does not 
exceed maximum power of the amplifier. Speakers can be freely added or removed from the line 
without affecting the levels of other speakers. 
 
 
 
Each speaker’s transformer has relatively high impedance at the primary side to connect to the 
100V (70V) line. The secondary side matches to the speaker itself  (mostly 8 or 4 Ohm). 
Depending on the maximum power of an amplifier each 100V (70V) amplifier matches to a 
certain minimum impedance than can be connected to this output. It does not matter how this 
impedance is achieved. We can use a large number of smaller speakers (with higher impedance 
at their transformers) or a small number of larger speakers (with lower impedance at their 
transformers) or any combination of them. The only rule is that the total impedance of the 100V 
(70V) line should not fall below the minimum impedance of the amplifier's 100V (70V) output.  
 
The regular signal (voltage) during the transmission of music or speech is mostly far less that the 
maximum 100V (70V). The voltage in the line changes proportionally in the same way as the 
voltage at the audio input of the amplifier, because the output voltage of an amplifier is 
determined by the input signal only.
