Highlights

The SA-500.1 power amplifier features include:

  • Single-ended RCA or XLR balanced inputs
  • 500 Watts/8 ohms; 1000 Watts/4 ohms
  • Remote trigger (works with +3.3 to +24 Volts DC)
  • Protection against short circuits, device failures, mis-wiring, and internal faults.
  • DC offset protection
  • Matched output transistors
  • High power supply voltage for extra headroom at the outputs
  • Stable with mismatched, reactive or unusual loads
  • Soft start circuit prevents “Brown outs” when amplifier is turned on

In addition, the SA-500.1 includes high quality RCA (gold plated) and XLR input connectors. The SA-500.1 also includes high-quality, heavy duty speaker output connectors. A trigger input connector allows the SA-500.1 to be powered on and off automatically.
