Where to buy?

This energy efficient stereo amplifier will automatically switch to a standby mode when no audio signals are detected (less than 1Watt power consumption in standby mode). Their weight and compact size makes these single rack space amplifiers ideal for both fixed and mobile installations. Their use of Class-D technology ensures excellent efficiency as well as outstanding sound quality. Thanks to the complete passively cooled entity only a minimal of maintenance is needed, while ensuring maximum reliability. Various specific functions and advanced circuitry guarantees an optimal protection against DC malfunctioning, short circuit, overheating and overload. Signal input connections are integrated with balanced XLR connectors, and signal link through is possible using the XLR output connectors. Outputs are connected using terminal block connectors.

FAQ

Answer

As the power consumption of an amplifier, strongly depends on how hard the amplifier is driven, measurements are provided for various loads: idle, 1/8 of average full power, 1/3 of average full power, and full power.

Idle 
Current draw at idle or with very low signal level

1/8 Power: Pink Noise
Amplifiers are tested using pink noise signals to simulate real-world speech and music signals.  It approximates operating with music or voice with light clipping and represents the amplifier's typical "clean" maximum level, without audible clipping. This 1/8 power signal provides a very good approximation of how hard an amplifier would be driven by typical real-world speech/music signals, assuming those signals were being driven as loud as possible without clipping the amplifier.

1/3 Power: Pink Noise
1/3 Power Pink Noise is similar to 1/8 Power Pink Noise, except that it is a significantly more powerful input signal. It approximates operating with music or voice with very heavy clipping and a very compressed dynamic range. This 1/3 power signal provides an approximation of how hard an amplifier would be driven by typical real-world speech/music signals, assuming those signals were being driven loud enough to clip the amplifier heavily, and produce severe, audible distortion.

Full Power
Current draw at full power is measured with a sine wave at its maximum possible level. However, it does not represent any real-world operating condition and represents the absolute extremes that an amplifier could ever experience.
