RCF UP 2162 - 2 x 160W at 4-Ohm 70V/100V Power Amplifier in Black Finish

The RCF UP 2162 is a highly efficient power amplifier designed to deliver exceptional performance in both public address and background music systems. Featuring two independent 160W amplifiers, each with its own set of audio inputs, this device is ideal for applications that require the simultaneous handling of announcements and musical programming. It supports both low impedance speakers (minimum 4 ohms) and 70V/100V constant voltage lines, offering unparalleled versatility for diverse sound system configurations.

One of the standout features of the UP 2162 is its dual-input system, with each amplifier providing two line-level audio inputs. The first input, labeled as the 'Main Input,' can be configured with a priority function. This allows it to automatically override the AUX input, making the amplifier perfect for situations where announcements need to take precedence over background music. The AUX input is designed for music sources such as CD players and tuners, and comes equipped with tone controls for bass, treble, and gain, giving users fine control over the audio quality of their music sources.

The amplifier is built using Class D technology with a switching power supply, providing high efficiency and a lightweight design, which reduces the overall weight without compromising audio quality. The UP 2162 boasts a wide audio bandwidth, ensuring that both speech and music are transmitted clearly and with minimal distortion. The amplifier is equipped with front panel LEDs that indicate the device's operating status (ON), protection mode (PROT), priority activation (PRIOR), and signal/peak level (SIG/PK), providing users with clear and immediate feedback on the system's performance.

For added flexibility, the UP 2162 can be used with low impedance speakers or high-voltage loudspeakers with 70V/100V transformers, making it suitable for a variety of installations. The unit's power output is delivered through Euroblock connectors, which offer secure and reliable connections for the speakers. The amplifier also features essential protection mechanisms, including short circuit, thermal overload, and DC protection, ensuring safe operation in demanding environments. Cooling is achieved via convection, reducing the need for active fans and maintaining a quiet operating environment.

Designed for easy integration into any system, the UP 2162 is housed in a durable metal chassis with a sleek black finish. The unit is rack-mountable, fitting into a standard 19" 2U rack space, making it ideal for both permanent and portable installations. Whether used for enhancing public announcements or delivering high-quality background music, the RCF UP 2162 is a reliable and flexible solution for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications.
