Installation & Operation Guide

Product Description

The AMP-450BP is a four-channel PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4, 30W)
conferencing amplifier for use in Tesira
spaces, the amplifier is designed to be mounted directly to the back of a
Desono™ C-IC6 loudspeaker, minimizing cabling requirements.
Each AMP-450BP comes with an optional enclosure to protect electrical
connections and comply with typical code requirements for above-ceiling
installations. The AMP-450BP includes an internal limiter, and is capable of
providing 3 watts of continuous power to all four channels.
The Tesira AMP-450BP is also capable of operating in a burst mode to
handle peak signals, providing up to 50 watts (4Ω load) or 30 watts (8Ω
load) per channel. The output channels are software configurable, including
selectable power versus channel count.
The amplifier serves as a dedicated endpoint in a Tesira system, making
installations easier to design, support, and maintain. The AMP-450BP is ideal
