Description

The Adastra RS480 is a 100V line slave amplifier built for medium to large installations. It takes standard line level audio from a mixer or an RM series mixer amplifier, so you can add power to a system without adding another source. As a Class-D design it stays efficient and lightweight, and it fits a standard 19" rack in a 2U housing. The RS480 delivers 480W, sitting at the top of the RS range alongside the 120W, 240W and 360W models.

Line level inputs connect via RCA sockets or hard-wired removable screw terminals, also known as Euroblock terminals. A separate removable screw terminal handles 100V input, which lets you extend an existing 100V installation by wiring directly to the speaker feed, or run a long distance feed using standard double-insulated cable. Slave outputs can be cascaded onto further RS slaves, so you can build the system out as far as the job needs. A 24V terminal connects to a security or alert panel to mute the output during alarm triggering.

Speaker outputs run at 100V or low impedance, stable down to 2 Ohms, so you can connect multiple low impedance speakers if you prefer that approach. Master volume gives you level control on the front, and THD stays below 1.0%. Frequency response covers 90Hz to 20kHz on the 100V output and 17Hz to 90kHz at 2 Ohms. Power comes from a 175-264Vac 50Hz IEC supply. Whether you are powering a fresh install from a mixer output or expanding what you already have, the RS480 slots into the chain cleanly.

Frequently Asked

What rack size does the RS480 need?

The RS480 fits a standard 19" rack and takes up 2U of space. The lower power RS121 and RS241 models are 1U, while the RS360 and RS480 are 2U.

Can I connect low impedance speakers as well as 100V?

Yes. The speaker outputs run at 100V or low impedance, stable down to 2 Ohms, so you can wire multiple low impedance speakers if that suits your setup.

How does the RS480 work with an alarm system?

A 24V terminal is provided for connection to a security or alert panel. When the alarm triggers, the amplifier output mutes so voice announcements can take priority.

What inputs does the RS480 accept?

It takes slave line in on RCA sockets or removable screw terminals, plus a separate 100V input on a screw terminal for extending existing 100V speaker runs.

Can I link several RS slave amplifiers together?

Yes. Slave outputs can be cascaded onto further RS slaves, letting you build larger systems from a single mixer or mixer amplifier source.

What is the RS480 designed for?

It powers medium to large installations from a mixer output, or expands existing 100V systems by connecting directly to the speaker feed.
