RCF DMA 162P - 2 x 160W at 4-Ohm or 320W Hi-Z Matrix Power Amplifier with RDNet and DSP in Black Finish

The RCF DMA 162P is a compact, powerful two-channel Class-D matrix power amplifier designed for commercial audio applications. Featuring an advanced DSP platform, the DMA 162P is an ideal solution for creating multi-room audio systems or scaling up an installation. Its high efficiency, compact design, and flexibility make it a perfect choice for business music systems, where clarity and ease of integration are paramount. Whether used as a stand-alone amplifier or in combination with other RCF DMA units, the DMA 162P delivers exceptional audio performance and system control, ensuring a superior sound experience across a wide range of commercial environments.

With an output of 2 x 160 W at 4 ohms or 8 ohms, and a bridging capability for 320 W at 4 ohms or 8 ohms, the DMA 162P provides plenty of power to drive various speaker configurations. Its frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz ensures full-range audio reproduction, while low total harmonic distortion (<0.01%) guarantees crystal-clear sound. The DMA 162P features RCF's proprietary FiRPHASE technology, which uses linear phase FIR filters to achieve accurate phase alignment and improved audio quality, as well as a bass enhancement algorithm that boosts low-frequency perception without increasing output power.

The amplifier offers six input channels, including four balanced inputs and two unbalanced inputs, providing flexibility to integrate a variety of audio sources. These inputs can be routed through the unit's DSP to adjust signal levels, equalization, and other parameters. The DMA 162P is equipped with DSP processing that includes equalization filters, FIR filters, compressors, tone controls, and high-pass filters (80 Hz to 200 Hz), enabling detailed sound management for each channel. With these processing capabilities, the DMA 162P can be fine-tuned to meet the needs of any installation, providing the optimal sound experience across different zones or rooms.

One of the key features of the DMA 162P is its RDNet integration, which allows real-time monitoring and remote management via the RDNet network platform. RDNet provides a comprehensive management solution for multiple devices, enabling control over levels, delays, EQ settings, and more. The DMA Connect app enhances this by providing wireless control of the amplifier settings, including input and output levels, speaker preset selection, and real-time VU meters for a visual representation of the system's performance. Advanced settings for professional users, such as customizable names for devices and routing configurations, are also available.

The DMA 162P features a highly scalable architecture, allowing the distribution of up to four audio channels to satellite units. This makes it a versatile option for expanding the system as needed, simply by using a CAT5e cable for connection between units. Each satellite unit can be set up using the DIP switch on the rear panel to select the desired audio channels, providing flexibility for different configurations. The amplifier's cooling system is based on forced air cooling, ensuring reliable operation even in high-demand environments. Built-in protections for short circuits, thermal overload, DC faults, and VHF interference ensure the long-term reliability of the DMA 162P in professional installations.

In addition to its excellent audio performance, the DMA 162P is designed for ease of installation and operation. It is compact and rack-mountable with an optional 1/2 19" rack-mounting accessory. The unit can be configured via the front panel or with PC software, offering an intuitive interface for adjusting settings and monitoring system performance. Whether used for business music in retail environments or integrated into larger sound systems, the DMA 162P delivers top-tier sound quality, reliability, and flexibility.
