This digital 100 V amplifier series, compliant with IEC 268-3, is designed for use in public address (PA) and voice alarm systems (VAS) according to VDE 0828 / DIN EN 50849, as well as EN 54-4 and EN 54-16. Offering two or four 500 W RMS outputs, these compact, energy-efficient amplifiers are key components of the VARES-3000 system.
With a >90 % efficiency rating and compact chassis, the units generate minimal heat, reducing cooling demands and installation space. The integrated digital power supplies and independent amplifier channels allow for redundant A/B operation, ensuring high availability in critical installations.
Comprehensive protection features (short-circuit, overload, overheating) are built in, with automatic output disconnection in case of fault. Front-panel LEDs provide clear indication of signal status, clipping, protection and power.
