The amplifier delivers a total of 1600W, with each of its 8 channels outputting 200W peak power. The RMS power per channel is 100W at 8 Ohms.
While it's best to use the included speakers for optimal performance, the system is designed for 8 Ohm speakers. You can connect other 8 Ohm speakers, but ensure the total impedance load on each amplifier channel does not fall below 8 Ohms to prevent damage.
Press the Bluetooth button on the amplifier or remote to activate pairing mode. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings, search for available devices, and select the amplifier's name. Once paired, you can stream audio.
The 'talk-over' function automatically reduces the volume of the background music when it detects speech from a connected microphone. This makes announcements or interactions clearer without manual volume adjustments.
Yes, the kit includes 100 meters of 1.5mm speaker cable, which is generally sufficient for most residential and small commercial installations. For very large areas or complex wiring, you may need to purchase additional cable.
Yes, the system is compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home devices, allowing you to control playback, volume, and source selection using voice commands after initial setup.
The speakers are designed to be low-profile, fitting into standard ceiling cutouts. The exact cutout diameter is typically around 203mm (8 inches) and the depth is minimal for easy installation in most ceiling spaces.
Check that the amplifier is powered on, volume levels are up, and the correct input source is selected. Ensure speaker wires are securely connected to both the speakers and the amplifier, and check for correct polarity (+/-).
Ensure the amplifier is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your source device. Move the source device closer to the amplifier and ensure no other devices are interfering. Reset the amplifier's Bluetooth connection if possible.
Lower the volume on the amplifier and/or the source device. Check for loose speaker wire connections. Ensure the speaker load does not exceed the amplifier's rated output. Clean any dust or debris from speaker cones.
Verify the microphone is plugged into the correct input. Check if the microphone requires phantom power (this unit does not provide it). Test with a different microphone. Ensure the talk-over function is not overly sensitive or engaged inadvertently.
Check for grounding issues with power sources or audio cables. Try using different cables or isolating audio sources. Ensure the amplifier is not placed near other electronic devices that could cause interference.
