3 Product introduction
The V series power amplifiers are ideally suited to background music and clear voice
announcement applications such as:
– Bars and restaurants
– Retail outlets
– Education
– Houses of worship
– Museums and galleries
– Transport hubs
– Conference centers
The V600:4 is a 600W power amplifier with powerTANK technology that flexibly delivers the
total power over its 4 channels.
The V600:2 is a 600W power amplifier with powerTANK technology that flexibly delivers the
total power over its 2 channels.

3.1 Features and functions
– 4‑channel amplifier (V600:4) / 2-channel (V600:2) amplifier with a total powerTANK
capacity of 600W.
powerTANK is a reservoir of available amplification power that is deployed flexibly across all
amplifier channels. There is no need to set up the powerTANK as it adapts to the
requirements of each zone or output without extra manual configuration of each individual
channel.
– Variable Load Drive (VLD) providing the same power into 4Ω, 8Ω, 70V or 100V
Variable Load Drive (VLD) ensures that the powerTANK capacity is utilized efficiently,
providing consistent power to any channel with different loads.
– dualCOOL convection cooling with additional intelligent fan in case of extreme thermal
conditions
The dualCOOL thermal design means that the amplifier typically operates as a convection
cooled amplifier, but in extreme thermal conditions the amplifier is also equipped with an
intelligent multi‑speed fan to ensure maximum performance and reliability in any
application.
– ecoRAIL and APD deliver significant reduction in power consumption
ecoRAIL’s power consumption is similar to a regular standby level, yet ecoRAIL still
produces audio output suitable for background music levels, and the Auto Power Down
(APD) mode can be engaged to further reduce power consumption to less than a watt when
there is no signal present for extended periods.
– Line input single cable solution for easy installation
The single cable installation feature is compatible with AES72‑1E (RJ45 connectors) wired
devices. This solution provides easy installation for all four channels of the V600:4 / both
channels of the V600:2 without needing to wire all the connections individually.
– Advanced Protection features and PFC to ensure reliability
Equipped with a PFC power supply and protection features usually reserved for the
professional power amplifiers, means that the amplifier resists complete shutdown
situations and will always perform at its best under all conditions.

Notice!
Before mounting the device, it is recommended to make the required settings. See
Indicators, controls and settings, page 25.
V600:4
19”-rack mounting
The V600:4 power amplifier has been designed for installation in a conventional
19”‑equipment rack. Attach the power amp with its frontal rack mount ears using four
screws and washers as shown in the illustration.
Figure4.1: Mounting the amplifier in a rack
Additionally securing the amplifier by rack rails might be necessary in case you intend to
transport the rack. Failure to do so may result in damage to the power amplifier as well as
to the rack case.

Tabletop use
If you want to use this device outside a 19”‑rack on a tabletop, dismount the rack mount
ears, reattach the screws back into the device and mount the four self‑adhesive rubber feet
on the bottom of the device.

V600:2
The V600:2 amplifier has four mounting options.
Stand-alone mounting in a 19”-rack
Despite being half the size of the V600:4, the V600:2 power amplifier can be fitted alone in a
standard 19"-rack.
Mount one short rack ear to the preferred side of the amplifier using the built-in screws.
Unscrew the existent screws, attach the rack ear and screw them back in.
Mount the long rack ear (B) on the opposite side by unscrewing the existent screws on the
side of the amplifier, attaching the long ear and screwing them back in (1).
Attach the power amp with its frontal rack mount ears (short and long) (C) using four
screws and washers (2) as shown in the illustration.

Side-by-side mounting in a 19"-rack
If you intend to use the full 19"-rack, you can stack two V600:2 amplifiers in one rack slot.
To install both amplifiers in a side-by-side configuration:
1. Mount the one short rack ear to one side of one amplifier using the existent screws (C).
Unscrew the existent screws, attach the rack ear and screw them back in.
Do this for both amplifiers. The two short rack ears must be in opposite sides.
2. Mount the center connecting plate. Unscrew the four existent screws, attach the
connecting plate and screw them back in (D) as shown in the illustration.

of the amplifier with the four hooks (1) and slide the other amplifier until the two
amplifiers hook together (2). To prevent pushback of the amplifiers, screw in the
supplied M3 bolt (3) into the screw hole on the back of the amplifier as shown in the
illustration.
