Features:
- 2,800 Watt, 4-channel amplifier with up to 700 Watts output per channel and NomadLink network for monitoring and control
- Selectable gain plus scalable Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) and bridge-mode operation allow custom configuration for any application
- 4 x 300 Watts into 2 Ohms, 4 x 700 Watts into 4 Ohms, 4 x 700 Watts into 8 Ohms, 4 x 600 Watts into 16 Ohms, 4 x 700 Watts into Hi-Z 70 V, 4 x 700 Watts into Hi-Z 100 V
- Proven and reliable Class-TD output stage delivers Class-A/B audio quality with Class-D efficiency
- Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS) ensures constant power output at all times
- Intuitive DeviceControl software monitors and controls key functions via the NomadLink network
- Comprehensive protection scheme including current, voltage, DC, temperature, short circuit and open load warnings
- Efficient Intercooler copper cooling system dissipates more heat for extended peak output
- 4 x balanced analog audio inputs on 3-pin Phoenix* connectors
- 4 x barrier strip 2-pole screw terminal output connectors
- Removable dust filter grille for increased air circulation
