250 Watt 70V Paging Power Amplifier
The PP-250 is a 250 Watt 70V Paging Power
Amplifier that can drive up to two hundred fifty (250)
70V speakers and/or paging horns (each speaker
set to "1 Watt tap"). The small 1U rack size chassis
is possible because the PP-250 uses new amplifier
technology that is 3 times more efficient than old
designs competitors use. The high efficiency of the
PP-250 means much less heat dissipation, smaller
size, higher reliability, and lower cost.
Features
• Powerful 70V amplifier drives up to 250 Watt load
• Line input allows connection to any analog line
level output, such as: telephone system paging
port, paging mixer, etc.
• Volume control
• Input Level control
• Bass and treble controls
• Power and volume LEDs
• Peak limiter and multiple protection modes

PRODUCT
MANUAL
There are many advantages of using a 70V
distributed audio paging system, such as being
able to put more speakers on a wire run, having
longer speaker wire runs, using smaller gauge
wire, and being able to set the volume of each
speaker independently.
The PP-250 Line Input can connect to telephone
system paging ports, paging mixers, etc.
• Paging systems requiring 8 to 250 speakers
• Paging from virtually any analog line level paging source
• Installations that can utilize the below advantages of a
70V distributed audio system:
- Longer wire runs using smaller gauge speaker wire to
save costs
- Many speakers can be connected on the same wire
run to save costs
- Set each speaker's volume individually using its own
power taps

    LEVEL LED flashes with LINE INPUT audio. If the LINE INPUT audio is coming from an RCA jack, and hum or buzz is present in the audio, the RCA cable’s shield may need to be grounded on the PP-250 side. This can be done by connecting the cable’s shield to the SHIELD terminal (pin 3).

    70V paging systems such as Viking models PA-30, PA-60, PA-250, PA-250-IP and PP-250. The transformer has a range of 5 separate switch selectable power taps, which can be used to adjust the volume of each speaker. These higher voltage distributed audio paging systems also have the advantage of being able to connect more speakers using lighter gauge wire runs while having less volume lost in wire resistance.
