Dynacord DPA 4260, DPA 4245 owner manual Power Outputs - AUDIO TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS

Power Outputs – AUDIO TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS

The two integrated output transformers convert the power amplifier’s nominal output voltage to the com- monly used loudspeaker line voltage standards – 25 V, 70 V, and 100 V. These voltages are simulta- neously present at the correspondent floating outputs of the binding post strip. The two power amplifier channels can be operated using any possible output voltage combination. Simultaneous operation of low impedance loudspeaker systems and floating loudspeaker lines on a single power amplifier channel is possible as well.

Caution It is possible that during operation shock-hazard output voltages can be present at the power output connectors (>34 V peak value). Therefore, the connected loudspeaker lines have to be installed in accordance to applicable security standards and regulations. When installing and operating 100 V-loudspeaker networks, compliance to the VDE regulation DIN VDE 0800 is mandatory. Especially, if a 100 V-loudspeaker network

is included in alarm system applications, all security standards have to be in accordance to the security class 3 standard. Before the first operation of the power amplifier, the loudspeaker terminal strip has to be covered using the supplied protection cover.

Power Outputs - Isolated Outputs 70 V and 100 V

To reduce line attenuation effects when the distance between power amplifier and loudspeaker systems exceeds 50 meters, it is recommended to employ loudspeaker systems with 100 V or 70 V line transfor- mers, which also allows conveniently distributing the output power to the individual loudspeaker systems. It is possible to connect as many loudspeaker systems until the total power consumption of the loudspea- ker network equals the nominal power handling capacity of the power amplifier; while not declining the nominal load impedance of the power amplifier outputs.

For details on nominal power handling capacity and nominal load impedance of the amplifier’s individual power outputs, please refer to the specifications in the appendix.
