Lectrosonics PA8 8-Channel Power Amplifier, 20kOhms Impedance, 88dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Enhance your audio experience with the Lectrosonics PA8 8-Channel Power Amplifier, a powerful and high-quality solution for zoned, distributed loudspeaker systems. This advanced amplifier is uniquely designed to fit into a single rack space, making it a compact yet robust choice for any audio setup.

Each of the eight separate power amplifiers within the PA8 delivers an impressive output power capability of 10W at 4 Ohms or 6W at 8 Ohms. This reliable amplifier is passively cooled, ensuring optimal performance without the risk of overheating. It also features full short circuit and thermal overload protection, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for your audio needs.

The PA8 is designed with a low parts count for enhanced long-term reliability. At its core is a low radiation toroidal transformer, which generates less heat and emits significantly less 60Hz energy compared to non-toroidal types. This feature is particularly beneficial when the amplifier is used near microphone pre-amplifiers, ensuring clear and high-quality sound production.

The input to the PA8 is fully balanced and RF filtered, ensuring a clean and interference-free signal. The level control feeds into a monolithic power amplifier, each of which is internally power limited to protect against short circuits, excessively low impedances, or highly reactive loads. Thermal limiting is also integrated into the power amplifier, with an intelligent shutdown mode that minimizes thermal shock to the device under extreme operation.

For those seeking higher power, any two channels of the PA8 can be used in bridged mode, delivering 20W at 8 Ohms or 12W at 16 Ohms. With the Lectrosonics PA8 8-Channel Power Amplifier, you can expect a reliable, durable, and advanced audio amplification solution that delivers powerful and high-quality sound.
