Description

The Adastra RS241 is a high-efficiency 240W slave amplifier, purpose-built for integration into commercial audio systems where additional amplification power is required without onboard signal processing or preamp control. Housed in a compact 1U rackmount chassis, the RS241 is perfect for expanding distributed audio setups in retail stores, hospitality venues, educational facilities, places of worship, and office environments.

As a slave amplifier, the RS241 is designed to be driven by an external mixer or preamp. It provides a clean, uncoloured audio signal with plenty of headroom, making it ideal for driving passive loudspeakers in either foreground reinforcement or background music scenarios. The amplifier delivers a stable 240W RMS output into 4 ohms or 100V line systems, making it flexible for both low-impedance and constant-voltage installations.

Engineered for reliability, the RS241 features built-in protection circuitry including thermal overload, short circuit, and over-current protection to safeguard both the amplifier and connected speakers. Rear-mounted gain controls allow secure adjustment without interference, and balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line inputs provide broad compatibility with professional audio gear. Outputs are provided via a Euroblock terminal, simplifying permanent installation.

With its slim profile, robust build quality, and solid performance, the RS241 is a trusted solution for scalable audio system design in commercial environments.
