Product Description

Product Description
This amp is ideal for building active monitors or converting existing speakers to a powered audio system. Perfect for karaoke applications! The open frame module design mounts easily to speaker cabinets creating a self contained portable P.A. system. The unit features two microphone and one line level input, each with its own level control allowing for easy mixing of all inputs. Each input is compatible with both balanced and unbalanced sources. A handy balanced line level output allows for easy daisy chaining of multiple amplifier units. The amp also has a convenient speaker output for connection of an additional "slave", or non-amplified speaker system, so only one amplifier module is needed for a two speaker system. The high performance class AB amplifier has all the power you need and includes thermal, short circuit and fuse protection for years of reliable use. Other useful features include clip indication LED, bass, treble and master volume controls. Includes 1/4" to RCA "Y" adaptor, 8 x 3/4" mounting screws and 6 ft. IEC power cord.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good value, May 8, 2008

By	Dogtag (Seattle, Wa USA) - See all my reviews

I've installed this amp into a Fender speaker cabinet with an 8 ohm impedance and it works quite well. Adding another 8 ohm speaker as a slave works for awhile and then the unit goes into protect mode.
The only way you know this is if the unit just stops working. As mentioned by others, there is no indicator to tell the operator the unit has shut down.
Turning it off and then back on re sets until the next event.
It seems the unit is not suitable for two 8 ohm speakers even though the instructions say it will work.

It looks like the factory is now trying it's best to decrease the amount of air leaks in the amp. They must actually read the reviews...

All and all, a good value.
Installation is easy even for a non wood working talent like myself.

4.0 out of 5 stars decent little amp, December 2, 2006

By	mike - See all my reviews

purchased for monitors. our wedges are 2-way, 15", ported.

Amp quality seems very good. knobs are tight but smooth, and shaped to prevent crushing the electronics if bumped. larger components are glued to the boards to combat vibration. aluminum plate is nearly 1/4" thick, very solid.

Installation is easy, but mounting flush requires some woodwork. Wish the plate was flanged for easy flushmount, which you really need with this kind of gear. I used angle-iron to make a shield, since my cab was too small for a woodworking-flush-mount-special.

Sound quality is very good into a ~6 ohm speaker. clear highs, good lows. doesn't get that warm.

NEEDS A LAMP TO ALERT OF PROTECT MODE. Ours quits immediately when adding a slave speaker. I can only assume it doesn't like a 3 ohm load. sorta picky for a 4 ohm rated amp. Hard to troubleshoot when it goes into protect mode.

I'll pay $120 for a few more, but not the listed $150.
