Super compact with surprising performance specifications, intended for smaller PA system applications. Our engineering team based the design around a National TDA1519 monolithic IC achieving virtually “destruction proof” operation under quite severe misuse such as over temperature, over voltage, over load and short circuit speaker line conditions.

The amplifier is extremely stable even where microphone (balanced line) and speaker cables are run together for long distances. The unit will automatically shut down when severely overloaded and will restore to normal operation when the fault condition is removed. Suitable as a stand alone desk/bench unit or rack mount with optional hardware. Up to 2 units can be accommodated side by side in 1RU of rack space (44mm high). Dual power input option of either 240VAC or 12-14VDC is provided, making it well suited for use in tour buses and mobile installations.
