DESCRIPTION
ES 3160
is a mixer-amplifier with 4 mic-line audio inputs on removable connectors (the first input
also has an XLR socket), CD/USB – MP3 player and tuner and an aux input for an additional external
music source.
The amplifier nominal power is 160 W, available on either a low impedance output (min. 4 Ω) or 100
– 70 V constant voltage output (for loudspeakers having 100 – 70 V transformers).
Input 1 has a signal detection circuit ('VOX') providing automatic priority operation.
All inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 can access the priority through an external command (connected to the
removable connector). Inputs 2 and 3 also have an RJ 45 socket for quick connection of an RCF BM
3001 paging microphone (through CAT5 cable).
A USB port (on the front panel) allows connection of a USB flash drive containing MP3 files.
Aux outputs are available to send the internal / external music source signals to additional amplifiers,
mixers, phone systems ('music on hold' function), etc. .
The 4 mic.-line inputs have a common 'presence' control and separate high-pass filters that are
useful for improving speech intelligibility.
Both the internal music source (CD/USB – MP3 player and tuner) and the AUX INPUT have separate
tone controls.
Front panel LED's indicate the device state (ON, PROT), the priority activation (PRIOR) and the
signal level (SIG/PK).
