PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIER
Pushing the boundaries of engineering excellence, this amplifier embraces all the positive attributes of linear
amplifier technology. The output stage utilises the latest available "Double Die" LateralMOSFET devices
minimising losses and allowing over 1,000 watts per channel to be delivered comfortably
in to current hungry 2 ohm loads.
Careful manipulation ofthe amplifier's transfer characteristic has married linearity with musicality. Its sonic
atffibutes make it the perfect choice for critical listening and monitoring applications, whilst the bulletproof
build, instantaneously available high energy and host ofprotection features allows it to tackle the toughest
"Diesel and Dust" touring environments with ease.
The Australian Monitor P4Series ..You can now afford the best.
