RCF ES3160 User manual

ES 3160
CD-USB/MP3 DIGITAL RECEIVER AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
ES 3160 is a mixer-amplifier with 4 mic-line audio inputs on removable
connectors (the first input also has an XLR socket), CD/USB – MP3 player and
tuner and an aux input for an additional external music source.
The amplifier nominal power is 160 W, available on either a low impedance
output (min. 4 Ω) or 100 – 70 V constant voltage output (for loudspeakers
having 100 – 70 V transformers).
Input 1 has a signal detection circuit (‘VOX’) providing automatic priority
operation.
All inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 can access the priority through an external command
(connected to the removable connector). Inputs 2 and 3 also have an RJ 45
socket for quick connection of an RCF BM 3001 paging microphone (through
CAT5 cable).
A USB port (on the front panel) allows connection of a USB flash drive
containing MP3 files.
Aux outputs are available to send the internal / external music source signals
to additional amplifiers, mixers, phone systems (‘music on hold’ function), etc.
The 4 mic.-line inputs have a common ‘presence’ control and separate high-
pass filters that are useful for improving speech intelligibility.
Both the internal music source (CD/USB – MP3 player and tuner) and the AUX
INPUT have separate tone controls.
Front panel LEDs indicate the device state (ON, PROT), the priority activation
(PRIOR) and the signal level (SIG/PK).

INSTALLATION NOTES
ES 3160 has 4 footpads for desk-top positioning.
It can be mounted into a 19” rack cabinet (3 units) through the optional AR
3000 accessory. In this case, it is necessary to add 2 P/AER-1V (1 unit) panels
(one above and one below the amplifier) to ensure proper air circulation and
heat dissipation.
