The Fonestar MAX-240Z is a powerful and adaptable 240W mixer amplifier designed for multi-zone audio installations and public address applications.

Ideal for use in restaurants, bars, retail spaces, and educational facilities, it delivers flexibility and ease of use for diverse sound distribution needs.

This amplifier features four independent zonal speaker outputs with individual volume controls, allowing tailored audio levels across separate areas. For installations requiring a unified system, a single speaker output is available, delivering the full 240W output without zonal control.

Equipped with a built-in media player, the MAX-240Z supports USB, FM radio, and Bluetooth streaming for seamless playback of background music or other audio content. Rear-mounted RCA inputs further enhance its versatility by allowing connection to external audio sources.

Optimised for public address systems, the MAX-240Z includes four microphone inputs, each with switchable VOX priority, chime functionality, and 48V phantom power, ensuring clear and reliable announcements with automatic music attenuation during important messages.

A standout feature of the MAX-240Z is its emergency and mute input, designed for integration with alarm and evacuation systems, making it a dependable choice for safety-critical environments. With its energy-efficient Class D amplifier and SMPS power supply, this unit guarantees consistent, high-quality performance and is suitable for both desktop and rack-mounted installations.

60 Day Returns Policy

We ask that you follow these guidelines to help us process your return as quickly and efficiently as possible:

  2. Contact our Customer Services Team on 02476 369890 (or email info@audiovolt.co.uk). We will then send you an RMA number and a returns form, which needs to be completed and sent back with the returned item(s).

Returned items must be mailed within 10 days of when the RMA number has been issued. Items received with a post date 30 days after your requested return will NOT be eligible for refund.

Please note: our returns policy is quite straightforward, but there are a number of conditions that we ask our customers to comply with before applying:

  1. It is your responsibility to request a return. If you don't tell us you want to make a return, we don't know. Once you do tell us, we will do everything we can to action it.
  2. If you have not requested a return within 60 days of receiving an order, we will assume that you are intending to keep it, and we will not authorise a return.
  3. We always refund the payment according to how the original purchase was made and aim to do so within 72 hours of the return being received by us.
  4. Returned goods are liable for a restocking fee of 15% towards handling and repackaging if the order is not returned in its original, unopened packaging. This charge will be subject to our inspection of the returned goods.
  5. Delivery charges will not be refunded unless the delivered goods are faulty.
  6. Replacement products are dispatched immediately after the returned goods have been received and accepted by Audio Volt.
