Bogen V250 Power Vector Amplifier - what can it do?

Hello, I recently salvaged a Bogen V250 Power Vector amplifier and I am perplexed by this thing. User manual is here.

Does this amp have any functionality in a stereo system? The connections are all foreign to me. The manual is above my skill level, but I gather there are modules you can install on the rear of the very heavy box. This one has two MIC1S modules installed.

Does anyone here have experience with these or know what their intended use is?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Commercial use for PA/music for pavilions etc where lots of speakers are connected like at the county fair.

Per the manual:
A low-impedance (4Ω) speaker load can be driven directly (without transformer coupling) by connecting the load to the 4Ω terminal and the GND terminal. Make sure the selector switch is in the DIR position.

(It can be 4Ω or greater).

So you can use this amp in your system, although it's unclear how many output modules it has. If there is only one set of terminals (see pic) on the rear, then it's just a mono amp.

ETA: looks like this is the case. Might be usable as a subwoofer amp, either with a separate crossover, or from the sub out on an AVR.
