About Ashly CA Series Power Amp

You can rely on the CA Series CA1.52 2-Channel 1500W Class D Power Amplifier for superior performance in professional installations such as theaters, school auditoriums, and houses of worship. This robust amplifier is engineered to handle power-demanding subwoofers with ease, even at 2 Ohms, delivering a powerful, clean, and reliable sound output.

The CA1.52 amplifier is not just limited to performance installations. Its 70 & 100V direct-drive capability and a host of integration-friendly features make it an ideal choice for commercial installations as well. This amplifier is designed to drive longer and louder than amplifiers twice its rated power and cost.

The new D-MAX design of the CA1.52 amplifier allows you to run multiple CA amplifiers on one 20 A service. This innovative design incorporates a cutting-edge, ultra-fast switching power supply with Silicon-Carbide semiconductors and diodes, and intelligent power management for ultimate efficiency. The Dynamic Power Factor Correction feature tracks current continuously to maintain accurate monitoring and control, ensuring that current and voltage are perfectly in phase for increased efficiency.

The CA1.52 amplifier pioneers the use of Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors, which switch on and off far faster than conventional silicon, resulting in a faster, more precise sound and increased efficiency. This advanced technology allows the CA amplifiers to run cool without the need for heavy heat sinks and noisy fans.

The unique SailFlow architecture of the CA1.52 amplifier directs internal airflow strictly over the areas that generate the most heat, ensuring reliable, stable operation even under heavy loads. This amplifier can operate stably at 0.2 ohms and can power up to SIXTEEN 8-ohm loudspeakers from a single 4-channel CA amplifier.

In commercial installations, the CA1.52 amplifier can deliver 70V and 100V power with no reconfiguration required. The choice of both XLR and Euroblock connectivity makes this amplifier versatile and adaptable to various settings. With the CA Series CA1.52 2-Channel 1500W Class D Power Amplifier, you get a powerful, efficient, and reliable audio solution that meets your diverse needs.

Ashly CA Series Power Amp Features

  • 2 channel models
  • 1500W @ 4 Ohms
  • Stable down to 2 Ohms
  • 70/100V operation
  • Ultra efficient D-MAX Class D design
