Fonestar MAX-480Z - multi-zone PA amplifier of 480 W RMS in class D, designed for projects requiring advanced sound control in multiple zones. It features an integrated Bluetooth/USB/FM player and multiple inputs for microphones, emergency systems, and auxiliary sources, making it a complete and efficient solution for professional installations.
With a constant power of 480 W and a frequency response of 45–22,000 Hz, it delivers clear sound with minimal distortion. It allows individual volume control and mute on 5 zones, being compatible with 100 V, 70 V, and 4 ohm outputs. It includes inputs for microphones with phantom power, remote control panels, emergency systems, and auxiliary sources.
Priority and safety systems include call tones, signal generator (chime), emergency priority, and 24 V attenuators. The compact construction of 11 kg, with induction cooling, ensures silent operation and maintenance-free use, while integrated protections (soft start, overcurrent, overvoltage, temperature, and short circuit) guarantee reliability.
It is compatible with RJ45 cables for microphones and control panels at distances of up to 200 m, making it the ideal choice for installers needing a powerful, safe, and easy-to-integrate multi-zone amplifier.
