ClearOne PL960 Propritary Power Supply

The ClearOne PL960 Propritary Power Supply is an intelligent, high-efficiency power backbone designed specifically for VIEW-based installations. Engineered to deliver up to 21 amps at 28 VDC, it provides robust, tightly-regulated power to support the SL251 and multiple SpeakerLinX devices within a VIEW system. This essential power module ensures clean, stable operation across distributed audio environments, from small conference rooms to larger collaboration spaces. By prioritizing efficiency and reliability, the PL960 helps minimize heat, reduce energy costs, and maintain optimal performance for ClearOne’s audio-visual ecosystem. In environments where dependable power is non-negotiable, the PL960 stands as a cornerstone component that enables consistent audio clarity, reliable synchronization, and scalable expansion as needs grow.

• High-current, 28 VDC output: Delivers up to 21 amps to feed the SL251 and multiple SpeakerLinX units, ensuring ample headroom for demanding AV configurations. This means your system can power multiple zones and devices without compromising performance or introducing voltage sag during peak usage, which is critical for maintaining intelligible audio and synchronized visuals in real-time collaboration sessions.
• Designed for VIEW systems: A core component of ClearOne’s VIEW architecture, the PL960 provides centralized, dependable power distribution tailored to VIEW networks. By aligning with VIEW’s distributed audio strategy, it helps preserve signal integrity and minimize dropouts, so participants experience consistent, high-quality audio across all connected zones.
• Supports multiple SpeakerLinX devices: Built to accommodate a range of SpeakerLinX products, the PL960 enables scalable deployments as room counts or configuration complexity increases. Whether you’re powering a handful of zones or a larger multi-room installation, this power supply facilitates seamless expansion while maintaining stable voltage delivery to each device.
• Tightly-regulated power: Maintains clean, stable voltage even as load changes occur across the system. This tight regulation protects sensitive components, preserves audio clarity, and reduces the risk of distortion or intermittent performance that can arise from voltage fluctuation in distributed audio networks.
• Very efficient operation: Engineered for energy efficiency, the PL960 minimizes wasted power and reduces thermal load. This not only lowers ongoing operating costs but also contributes to quieter environments with less cooling demand, supporting a cooler, more reliable installation over time.
