Product Information

Full details

This comprehensive 120W Bluetooth amplifier and 15-speaker kit from Loops is designed for commercial spaces like bars, restaurants, and hotels seeking a reliable background music and announcement system. Its key benefit is providing clear, distributed audio with easy wireless connectivity. A key consideration is the requirement for 100V specific speaker cable, not standard types. The kit features a 120W 5-channel amplifier with Bluetooth, multiple inputs, and individual volume controls, paired with 15 slim-line, paintable ceiling speakers for discreet installation.

FAQs

What type of speaker cable is required for this system?

This is a 100V system, and it requires specific 100V double-insulated speaker cable or 2-core flex power cable. Standard speaker cable is not compatible and will not work.

Can I use fewer than 15 speakers?

Yes, you can use fewer than 15 speakers. The 100V system allows for flexibility in speaker quantity, as long as the total wattage of the speakers does not exceed the amplifier's output capacity.

Can I paint the ceiling speakers?

Yes, the speakers are designed to be paintable. Ensure you mask off the driver cone and grille carefully before painting to maintain sound quality and appearance.

How do I connect multiple audio sources?

You can connect up to two Line level sources (e.g., CD player, mixer) and up to four microphone/line sources (two dedicated mic inputs, two combo inputs) to the amplifier. You can switch between these sources using the input selectors.

Is the amplifier suitable for outdoor use?

No, the amplifier is designed for indoor use only. It should be protected from moisture and extreme temperatures.

What is the range of the Bluetooth connection?

Typical Bluetooth range is approximately 10 meters (33 feet) in open space, but this can be affected by walls and other electronic interference.

Can I use this kit for paging announcements?

Yes, the amplifier features dedicated microphone inputs, making it ideal for making clear voice announcements over the background music.

Troubleshooting

No sound from speakers

Verify all connections are secure and correct polarity is maintained. Ensure the amplifier is powered on and volume controls are turned up. Check that the correct input source is selected and active. Confirm that 100V speaker cable has been used.

Bluetooth connection fails

Ensure the amplifier's Bluetooth mode is enabled. Turn off Bluetooth on your source device, then turn it back on and try re-pairing. Move the source device closer to the amplifier and ensure no obstructions are present.

Distorted or crackling sound

Check speaker wiring for loose connections or short circuits. Ensure the total power draw of the speakers does not exceed the amplifier's capacity (90W for 15x 6W speakers is within the 120W limit). Reduce volume and check if distortion persists.

Microphone input not working

Confirm the microphone is connected to the correct microphone or combo input. Check if the microphone requires phantom power (this amplifier does not provide phantom power). Ensure the microphone volume control is adjusted appropriately.

Humming or buzzing noise

Ensure all audio equipment is properly grounded. Try using different power outlets for the amplifier and source devices. Check for interference from other electronic devices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a complete, integrated audio solution for commercial spaces.
  • Bluetooth connectivity offers modern wireless audio streaming convenience.
  • Multiple input options cater to various audio sources and microphone needs.
  • 100V system design is efficient for distributing sound over larger areas.
  • Speakers are designed for discreet, easy installation and can be painted to match decor.
  • Amplifier offers essential controls for fine-tuning audio output.

Cons

  • Requires specialized 100V speaker cable, not standard speaker wire.
  • 6W per speaker may be insufficient for very high-volume environments.
  • Amplifier is 5-channel, limiting independent zone control if more than 5 distinct areas are needed.
  • No mention of advanced audio processing features like EQ presets or multi-zone management beyond basic volume.
  • Speaker grilles are metal, potentially requiring additional acoustic considerations in some spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Amplifier Placement: Install the amplifier in a suitable location, such as a rack, ensuring adequate ventilation. Connect power (AC or DC).
  2. Speaker Wiring: Run 100V double-insulated speaker cable or 2-core flex power cable from the amplifier's 100V output terminals to each ceiling speaker. Wire speakers in a daisy-chain configuration, connecting the output of one speaker to the input of the next. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) at each connection.
  3. Input Connections: Connect audio sources to the Line inputs and microphones to the microphone inputs using appropriate cables.
  4. Configuration: Set the 6W tap on each speaker's transformer to match the desired power output (using all 15 speakers at 6W utilizes 90W of the amplifier's capacity).

Compatibility:

  • Amplifier: 100V systems only. Supports Bluetooth audio streaming, Line level audio, and microphone level audio.
  • Speakers: Designed for 100V line systems. The amplifier's 120W output is sufficient for the 15x 6W speakers.
  • Cable: Crucially, standard speaker cable cannot be used. Only 100V specific cable (double-insulated or 2-core flex power cable) is compatible.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the amplifier and speaker grilles with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the amplifier has adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
  • Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for security and corrosion.
