It lets a presenter plug in a laptop or media player locally while the room still receives program audio, ideal for huddle rooms, classrooms and small meeting spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ds-pa3.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DS-PA3 front panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear input accepts a balanced line-level signal that may be connected unbalanced, with a recessed side switch setting its sensitivity during installation. The front mini-jack accepts -10 dBV consumer sources, sums left and right to mono and automatically switches off the rear input when a source is connected. A high-efficiency Class D stage drives a 4 or 8 ohm speaker at 3.5 W RMS into 8 ohms or 6.5 W RMS into 4 ohms, and a front-panel control sets the volume. Wiring and 24 Vdc power connect on a rear detachable terminal block; a supply such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ps-24ax\"\u003eRDL PS-24AX 24 Vdc power supply\u003c\/a\u003e powers the module.
