RCF AM 2160 - 160W 70V/100V Mixer Power Amplifier with 4 x Line Inputs and 2 x Auxilary Inputs in Black Finish

The RCF AM 2160 is a versatile 160W mixer power amplifier designed to meet the needs of various audio environments, including commercial, professional, and industrial applications. Whether used in retail spaces, offices, or public address systems, the AM 2160 provides high-quality audio amplification and flexible connectivity options to integrate seamlessly into your system. This mixer amplifier supports both low impedance loudspeakers and 70V/100V constant voltage lines, making it ideal for installations that require a wide coverage of speakers.

The AM 2160 features four mic-line audio inputs, with the first input including an XLR connector and the remaining three utilizing screw terminal connections. This offers versatility in connecting a range of microphones or line-level audio sources. Additionally, the unit includes two auxiliary (AUX) inputs, which can be used for connecting music sources such as CD players, MP3 players, or tuners. The inputs are easily configurable, with selectable AUX inputs accessible through buttons on the front panel, allowing for quick changes between different audio sources.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the AM 2160 features advanced processing capabilities, including presence control and per-channel high-pass filters. The first input is equipped with a VOX facility and priority settings that allow it to take precedence over other audio inputs when needed. This is especially useful in environments where announcements or important signals need to be heard clearly, even over background music. Furthermore, the amplifier offers selectable music on-hold and pre-outputs for connecting external devices or integrating with additional audio systems.

The AM 2160 utilizes Class-D technology, which ensures high efficiency and low heat generation while providing reliable power output. The frequency response spans from 50 Hz to 14 kHz, with low total harmonic distortion (<0.3% THD+N) at 1 kHz, ensuring clear and accurate audio reproduction. The amplifier's convection cooling system keeps the unit running efficiently without the need for noisy fans, and the unit is protected from short circuits, thermal overload, and DC voltage issues for added reliability.

Additional features include a comprehensive set of controls, including tone controls for adjusting the audio output, high-pass filters for managing low-frequency content, and easy front-panel configuration using DIP switches. The AM 2160 also supports general-purpose inputs (GPI) and paging inputs, making it ideal for applications such as public address systems, where announcements need to be delivered clearly and quickly.

The amplifier is housed in a 19" rack-mountable metal chassis, ensuring durability and easy installation in a variety of setups. With its sleek black finish and compact 2U design, the AM 2160 fits neatly into professional audio environments, offering both high performance and reliable functionality. Whether used in small installations or integrated into larger sound systems, the AM 2160 offers the power, flexibility, and reliability needed for a wide range of audio applications.
