REAR VIEW

The STATUS LED provides optical indication of CAN-bus traffic. When the power amplifier’s address is set to “00” so that it is separated from the CAN- bus, the STATUS LED blinks every 3 seconds. When the power amplifier’s address is set between “01” and “250” and no CAN-bus activity has taken

place yet, the LED blinks every second. As soon as CAN-bus communication is recognized, the LED is activated for at least 100ms whenever the power amplifier actively sends data on the CAN-bus.

The STATUS LED may also be activated from the PC. In this case, the LED of the according power

amplifier blinks fast and steady while all other status-LEDs within the system stay dimmed

EASY REMOTE

Easy Remote provides a simple way to remotely power-on/off the power amplifier. The Easy Remote function is only useful for appliances not employing a RCM-24 Module. Controlling appliances with RCM-24 Module installed per Easy Remote is practically pointless

EASY REMOTE IN

Leaving the pins of the EASY REMOTE IN socket open, i.e. when connecting +5V, the appliance power is switched on. When connecting the EASY REMOTE IN, i.e. when feeding 0V from the control output, the appliance enters standby mode

EASY REMOTE SLAVE

The EASY REMOTE SLAVE connector provides connection for additional appliances with Easy- Remote function (e.g. for switching several devices within a rack-shelf ON/OFF).

The switching of the slave-units is delayed to prevent the mains fuses from blowing.

POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS

4-pole binding-post terminals are provided for the power amplifier channels „A“ and „B“.

When connecting loudspeaker systems, please mind the polarity according to the here shown diagram.

Since the binding-post terminals might carry high voltages during operation that might cause shock-hazard, closing the attached cover is mandatory after establishing loudspeaker connections.

GROUND-LIFT SWITCH

The ground-lift switch allows eliminating noise loops. If the power amplifier is operated together with other equipment in a 19“ rack-shelf, setting the switch to its GROUNDED position is recommended. If the power amplifier is operated together with appliances with differing ground potentials, setting the switch to its UNGROUNDED position is recommended

MAINS INPUT

Under normal circumstances, the mains fuse only blows in case of fault. Replacing the fuse is only permissible when using a new fuse of the same type with identical amperage, voltage and blow characteristics. If the mains fuse blows more often, please contact an authorized service centre.

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.
