Introducing the U240:1M — a 240-watt mixer amplifier engineered to meet the demands of small to medium-sized installations where exceptional performance, superior audio clarity, and long-term reliability are key. Ideal for background music, public address, and voice announcement systems, it is perfectly suited to bars, restaurants, retail outlets, schools, houses of worship, museums, transport hubs, and conference centres.
With a space-saving half-rack design, the U240:1M offers exceptional flexibility — it can be installed on a desktop, under a counter, or rack-mounted (single or dual configuration) to maximise space efficiency. When mounted side by side, two amplifiers occupy just one rack unit, effectively doubling your channel count and output capability.
The U240:1M is built around a rugged metal chassis finished in RAL 9017 Traffic Black for a professional finish. Its Class D output stage ensures efficiency and reduced heat generation, aided by an intelligent four-stage cooling system. Despite its compact size, the amplifier offers a full range of connectivity options, precise controls, and protection circuits that safeguard it against short circuits, overcurrent, overheating, and voltage irregularities. Installation is made simple with included rack-mount brackets, making it equally suitable for fixed or mobile setups.
