ClearOne CONVERGE PA 460 Amplifier - 240 W RMS, 4-Channel Class-D Power Amplifier

Powerful, efficient, and engineered for professional AV environments, the ClearOne CONVERGE PA 460 delivers 4 channels of clean, reliable amplification. With 60 W per channel (240 W RMS total), this high-efficiency Class-D amplifier is ideal for conferencing rooms, sound reinforcement, and distributed audio installations. The PA 460 is purpose-built to integrate seamlessly with ClearOne's DSP mixers, providing a unified path from input to speaker with precise control and superior sound quality. Designed for demanding daily use, it balances robust performance with compact form factors that fit neatly into standard AV racks or shelf spaces.

• High-efficiency Class-D design minimizes heat and power consumption, enabling cooler operation and reliable performance over long sessions without excessive cooling noise or energy waste.
• Four channels at 60 W per channel (240 W RMS total) offer flexible multi-zone amplification, so you can drive multiple loudspeakers across different rooms or zones from a single chassis while maintaining consistent level and tonal balance.
• Optimized for seamless integration with ClearOne DSP mixers, delivering a streamlined workflow, unified gain structure, and precise room tuning features that reduce setup time and ensure clear intelligibility in any environment.
• Rugged, professional-grade construction designed for rack mounting and frequent power cycling in corporate AV spaces, educational facilities, and venues requiring dependable, continuous operation.
• Versatile for a wide range of applications—from small boardrooms and classrooms to distributed audio deployments—providing scalable amplification that complements a ClearOne ecosystem for future-ready audio solutions.

How to install ClearOne CONVERGE PA 460 Amplifier

• Choose a well-ventilated location in a rack or on a stable shelf, ensuring there is ample airflow around the unit to maximize the cooling benefits of the Class-D design.
• Mount the amplifier securely in a standard 19-inch equipment rack if rack mounting is required, using appropriate rack ears and spacers to maintain airflow and stability.
• Connect your audio sources to the ClearOne DSP mixer or compatible processor, then route the processor’s outputs to the PA 460’s inputs. Verify gain staging to prevent clipping and ensure clean signal transfer.
• Run loudspeaker cables from each amplifier channel to the corresponding speakers, observing correct impedance and terminal polarity. Use high-quality cables and connectors to preserve signal integrity and minimize noise.
• Power up the system and perform a careful level check. Use an SPL meter or calibrated measurement tool to set consistent levels across channels, then use the DSP mixer to perform equalization, dynamics processing, and room compensation for even coverage and intelligibility.
