Key Features & Benefits

• True Monoblock Design
  Each amplifier powers a single speaker with its own linear power supply and enclosure—ensuring complete channel separation and zero cross-talk between channels 

• Powerful, Clean Amplification
  Delivers 200 watts RMS into 8 Ω with THD < 0.05% and 325 watts into 4 Ω with THD < 0.1% 

• Minimal Distortion & Massive Headroom
  THD + Noise is rated at < 0.02% A-weighted, while the S/N ratio exceeds 112 dB, offering silent backgrounds even at high power levels 

• Wide Frequency & Dynamic Response
  The power bandwidth spans 20 Hz to 20 kHz (±0.07 dB), with overall frequency response from 5 Hz to 80 kHz (+0 / −1.8 dB) 

• High Damping Factor
  With a damping factor over 500 (8 Ω load), it controls speaker drivers tightly, delivering clean, articulate bass 

Inputs, Outputs & Integration

• Single RCA Input
  An unbalanced RCA input makes this amp universally compatible with most preamps or processors 

• Five-Way Speaker Terminals
  Connect with banana plugs, spades, or bare wire for secure speaker hookups 

• 12V Trigger Control
  Offers both input and output triggers, allowing seamless power integration with other components in your system 

Protection & Reliability

• Transparent Fault Protection
  Built-in safeguards protect against overheating, short circuits, ground faults, and more—without interfering with normal performance 

• Robust Build Quality
  Rugged steel chassis with milled aluminum front panel, toroidal transformer, and high-current output stage ensure durability and longevity 

Dimensions & Practical Info

• Size: 17" (W) × 4" (H) × 15.5" (D) — compact yet solid

• Weight: ~22 lbs unboxed (30 lbs boxed) 

• Power Utility: Auto-switching between 115 VAC and 230 VAC (50/60 Hz) for global compatibility
