AUDAC PMQ480 – WaveDynamics Quad-Channel 70V/100V Amplifier, 4 x 480W
What is the AUDAC PMQ480 70V/100V power amplifier?
The AUDAC PMQ480 is a 2RU four-channel power amplifier delivering 4 x 480 W directly to 70V or 100V speaker lines, or 8 Ω loads. It brings DSP speaker management to large public address and background music systems. It suits schools, campuses, corporate buildings, retail and event venues.
How does the AUDAC PMQ480 70V/100V power amplifier work?
Every channel on the PMQ480 runs 70V, 100V or 8 Ω without bridging, so four large zones fit in one 2RU chassis. AUDAC WaveDynamics DSP adds EQ, filtering and loudspeaker presets for AUDAC speakers, set up from the 2.5" front LCD. User and administrator access levels, protected by password and USB key, stop unauthorized changes. Inputs are XLR with link-through plus Euro terminals, and an expansion port accepts the ANI44XT Dante/AES67 interface for network audio. RS-232 control ties it into room control systems. A temperature-controlled fan handles cooling. It runs on 100–120 V or 220–240 V AC. Pair it with a LUNA-F for a complete networked system. For more power per channel, see the PMQ600.
