Monoprice Commercial Audio 240W 5ch 100/70V Mixer Amp with Microphone Priority (NO LOGO)

<p>Simplify the task of running distributed audio for restaurants, hotels, or anywhere large areas need background music and/or paging address systems.

Connect hundreds of speakers covering acres of area without the need for large equipment racks.</p><p>A constant voltage speaker system differs from a traditional 8-ohm speaker system in that it uses a step-up transformer at the audio source to raise the voltage and lower the current on the transmission line.

At the speaker end, a step-down transformer converts the signal back to a normal speaker level voltage.

This reduces power loss during transmission, which allows for the use of longer speaker wire runs using smaller gauge wire.</p><p>Additionally, a constant voltage speaker system allows for the use of multiple speakers on each channel, without the need for complicated impedance calculations and configurations.

In a constant voltage system, all speakers on a given channel are connected in parallel and the complicated impedance calculations are replaced by simple wattage calculations.</p>
