DESCRIPTION

Next to controlling and monitoring, the RCM-24 Remote Control module provides comprehensive signal processing functions. It includes a total of 20 parametric filter–, X-over functions, delays, routing and level control as well as compressors and limiters per channel. All parameters can be freely edited and stored in the module’s 8 user presets. Independent from network control all DSP-settings (filter, delay, level) are maintained in case of failure. Additionally, the control inputs of the power amps can be used for network-independent switching to another preset (e.g. alarm settings with maximum energy for voice and text announcements).

Therefore, P-Series amps with RCM-24 modules installed fulfil even the highest safety requirements.

When designing the RCM-24, uncompromising audio quality was the highest maxim. AD/DA- conversion is performed at a resolution of 24-bit and 128-times oversampling with linear phase; the internal word length is 48 bits. With this the RCM-24‘s dynamic range reaches 115 dB, which is an absolute peak value for digital audio appliances.

All configuration, control and monitoring details of P-Series power amps are explained in the documentation accompanying the PC Windows software IRIS.

UNPACKING & WARRANTY

Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Next to the power amplifier itself, the package also includes this owner’s manual, a mains cord, the warranty certificate, four stand-feet, six screw-on connectors (1x 2-pole, 4x 3-pole, 1x 6-pole) plus a set of rack shelf mounting adapters. Please inspect carefully whether all information in the warranty certificate has been filled in complete- ly, since only a completely filled in warranty certificate entitles you to stake any warranty claims. The appliance comes with a 36 months warranty, starting with the date when receiving the good from your dealer. Therefore, keep the original invoice together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. When including an appliance in a closed cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x 330mm (up to the cabinet’s top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power amplifier and the cabinet’s/rack’s rear wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the cabinet or rack shelf system. Since the temperature inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperature during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory.

“

The use of rails or optionally available rack adapters – NRS 90235 (112733) – is mandatory as well when installing the appliance in a rack shelf system to prevent the front panel from bending.

Caution: For problem-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental temperature or +40°C is not permissible.

The power amplifier has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high temperatures or direct influence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations. Condensation on internal parts may occur after transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power amplifier’s enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact an authorised DYNACORD service centre for inspection before continuing operation.

Do not use any sprays or solvents for cleaning the appliance, because they might severely damage the surface of the enclosure or lead to dangerous fire hazard.

P1200RL, P900RL specifications

Electro-Voice P900RL and P1200RL are high-performance power amplifiers designed for various audio applications, including live sound reinforcement, installations, and studio settings. These amplifiers stand out in the market due to their innovative technologies and robust features, making them suitable for both professional audio engineers and audio enthusiasts.

The P900RL model delivers a powerful 900 watts per channel at 4 ohms, while the P1200RL offers an even more impressive output of 1200 watts per channel at the same impedance. This significant power enables these amplifiers to drive a wide range of loudspeakers proficiently, ensuring clean and dynamic sound reproduction with minimal distortion.

One of the key features of the P900RL and P1200RL is their efficient Class H topology. This technology improves energy efficiency by maintaining high power output with less heat. Class H amplifiers dynamically adjust their power supply voltage according to the input signal, resulting in reduced power consumption and increased longevity of the components. This makes the P series amplifiers not only powerful but also environmentally friendly.

Both models come equipped with a built-in limiter and comprehensive protection circuitry to prevent damage from overheating, short circuits, and overloading, ensuring safety and reliability in demanding environments. Additionally, the amplifiers feature a tri-mode operation, enabling them to be configured for stereo, parallel, or bridged mono setups, providing versatility for various audio applications.

The P900RL and P1200RL also include advanced signal processing capabilities, including a variable low pass filter for enhanced sound control and clarity. The integrated cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures, allowing for extended use without the risk of thermal issues.

Audio connectivity is straightforward with both XLR and ΒΌ-inch TRS inputs, allowing the amplifiers to interface with a variety of audio sources. The professional-grade output connectors ensure secure and reliable connections to speakers, critical for live sound applications.

In conclusion, the Electro-Voice P900RL and P1200RL amplifiers offer a compelling combination of power, efficiency, and versatility. With their advanced technologies and protective features, they cater to the demanding needs of sound professionals while delivering high-quality audio performance suitable for any occasion.
