Music where you want it

The 3 zone outputs share the 120 W RMS on the 100 V line. Each zone has a front volume control and a 5-position volume selector with OFF, so a dining room, a terrace or a corridor can each get their own level, or be switched off. A single zone can also take the full power.

Background music player

Select FM, MP3 or Bluetooth with MODE: the tuner stores stations automatically, the USB player reads MP3 and WAV files from memories up to 64 GB, and Bluetooth 5.3 streams from a smartphone or tablet. Playback starts automatically at power on and the player remembers its mode and playback mode.

Paging takes priority

Each of the 3 channels accepts a dynamic or condenser microphone (48 V phantom) or a line source. CH 1 is the paging channel; the VOX control sets the level at which the channels cut the music, the 100 V emergency input overrides everything and remote mute silences everything except the emergency input.
