Introduction
The OWI AMP-BT-602-1 is a self powered speaker/amplifier. This unit can drive up to four speakers connected series parallel to have a net impedance of 8 ohms. With an included UL Listed, Level 5 (Energy Star), 15 volt, 3.5 ampere power supply, the amplifier can output 40 watts, or 10 watts per speaker in a four speaker hook-up.
Special features of the OWI Model AMP-BT-602-1 include:
Bluetooth Feature
Certified SIG Bluetooth Version 3.0, Frequency Range 2.40 – 2.48 MHz, Supports A2DP, AVRCP, HFP/HSP and SPP, Password Protected.
Energy Star Mode
If no audio is present on any input, the power consumption of the speaker amplifier is less than one (1) watt.
Two (2) audio inputs: Line In and Jack Line In
The LINE IN inputs accepts a balanced input via a Phoenix style screw terminal plug. The JACK LINE IN accepts unbalanced input via 3.5 mini jack. The mini jack accept stereo inputs. The stereo channels are summed together. This input is muted during Priority Override.
Priority Override Feature
The Priority input accepts balanced input levels of resistor selected 100 volts audio, 70 volts audio, 25 volts audio and 1 volt (approximately line level) audio. Audio on the Priority input suspends audio on the Line In and Jack Line In inputs and switches the speaker amplifier to pass the Priority audio. After the Priority audio stops, the unit waits before returning to the Line In and Jack Line In audio input.
Balanced Line Level Output
A nominal 0dB level, balanced output is available at LINE OUT. The source of this output is both balanced and Jack Line In sources.
Power Amplifier Features
The power amplifier outputs 2 times 20 watts or 40 watts total into 8 ohms and 15VDC power. The class D power amplifier has reduced radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to a special feature of the power amplifier, operating in a patented spread spectrum. The power amplifier protects itself from over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage conditions. The power amplifier will shut itself down during these conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTE! This amplifier is intended for audio use only! Continuous sine wave drive into a load will cause the amplifier to shut itself down when it heats up.
