Configurable as a 2-channel amplifier delivering 2 x 240W — or bridged into a single-channel 480W amplifier for powering large groups of 100V line loudspeakers — the PA2240BP provides the output power and flexibility needed for large-scale distributed audio systems in retail, hospitality, education, corporate and public venue environments. Output voltage tappings at 100V, 70V, 50V and 35V alongside 4 Ohm low-impedance operation provide comprehensive compatibility with a wide range of 100V line and conventional speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEN60849 Evacuation System Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA key feature that sets the PA2240BP apart is its dual power supply capability — operating on both 230V AC mains and 24V DC emergency power. This makes the unit directly suitable for use in public address and voice evacuation systems compliant with the EN60849 regulation, where continued amplifier operation during a mains power failure is a critical life safety requirement. The emergency priority input — activated by contact closure — overrides the programme or music input to ensure emergency announcements are always broadcast clearly and reliably, regardless of the current programme source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Channel Priority Inputs \u0026amp; Tone Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth channels are equipped with a programme input and a priority input with independent bass and treble tone control — ensuring excellent sound performance even in tough acoustical conditions. The priority contact closure input per channel allows emergency or paging messages to automatically override the background music or programme source without manual intervention, and the 24V DC priority output provides integration with compatible paging and emergency system equipment. All amplifier controls are located on the rear panel — significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised or unintentional adjustment of system settings in public-facing commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFan-Cooled for Continuous High-Power Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe PA2240BP features active fan cooling for reliable thermal management during continuous high-power operation in demanding commercial installation environments, and is housed in a robust 2U 19\" rack-mount enclosure for secure installation in any professional equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBiamp PA2240BP Key Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x 240W or 1 x 480W Bridged:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible configuration for 2-channel distributed systems or single-channel high-output applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100V Line Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Output voltage tappings at 100V, 70V, 50V and 35V for comprehensive distributed speaker system compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4Ω \u0026amp; 8Ω Low-Impedance Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible direct speaker connection alongside 100V line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24V DC Emergency Power Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continued operation during mains power failure for EN60849 evacuation system compliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEN60849 Compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for use in public address and voice evacuation systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePriority Contact Closure Input Per Channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emergency message override of programme or music source without manual intervention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24V DC Priority Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integration with compatible paging and emergency system equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Bass \u0026amp; Treble Tone Control Per Channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent sound performance in demanding acoustical environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Panel Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents unauthorised or unintentional adjustment of system settings in public-facing installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 x Balanced Line Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional balanced connectivity for clean, long-distance signal runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridgeable Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Configurable as 2-channel or single-channel 480W for maximum installation flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Fan Cooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reliable thermal management for continuous high-power commercial operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2U 19\" Rack Mountable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure installation in any professional equipment rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Biamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57557087781237,"sku":"BIAPA2240BP","price":890.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/7259\/files\/APAPA2240BP_Apart_913-1451-900_Image_1.webp?v=1788863014","url":"https:\/\/www.audiovolt.co.uk\/products\/biamp-pa2240bp-2-channel-480w-power-amplifier","provider":"Audio Volt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
