APART CHAMP-4 Biamp 4-channel amp

Description

CHAMP-4 APART - Convection cooled 4-channel power amplifier

The CHAMP-4 versatile power amplifier is a part of the revolutionary CHAMP-series of convection cooled power amplifiers what makes this unit maintenance free. The CHAMP-4 has no fan inside which implicates the amplifier works very silent and it stays dust-free at all times. The CHAMP-4 amplifier has 4 individual amplifier channels but can be bridged into 2 stereo channels or even a 2.1 sound system. Use two channels as subwoofer channels and drive your top loudspeakers with the two remaining channels and experience the pure musical power of CHAMP-4. It is just one of the ways in which you can use this quad amplifier. The built-in APC Protection Technology allows you to preset the power potential of the amplifier. It constantly analyses incoming music signals and keeps the dynamics alive. An additional ultra fast peak limiter avoids that the amplifier starts to clip or get distorted.

Features

• Custom designed side mount heatsinks, four discrete class AB amplifiers in a one unit 19” enclosure.

• Switchable high and low pass filters for easy and troublefree subwoofer/satellite applications.

• Integrated APC limiter circuitry and clip indication. This intelligent circuit will prevent harsh distortion caused by clipping, provided that the input signal itself is not distorted of course… what goes in, comes out.

• Bridgeable power amplifiers : double the output power by uniting the power of 2 amplifiers. Minimum load impedance in bridge mode is 8 ohms.

• Self-supporting low resonance frame. Torsion free front and side panel construction with integrated heatsink assembly.

• Solid aluminum brushed front panel with removable 19” brackets and handles for use in a rack, no additional support needed. Without the 19” brackets it will be a standalone unit in high quality audio systems.

• High power toroidal transformer.

• Low impedance power supply for improved dynamic response.

• Solid speaker binding posts.

• 4 sets of banana screw plugs included.
