USER GUIDE
1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a PopPulse T2024 Class-T stereo amplifier.
Thanks to it utilising advanced Tripath technology & audiophile grade parts, the T150 is easily able to achieve the
sonic performance of traditional high-end amplifiers, but in a compact, affordable and efficient little unit.
Based around the famous Tripath 2024 IC, this amplifier is able to outperform most traditional amplifiers (even very
expensive ones) and can be partnered to some very exotic full-range speakers.
With a power output of up to 15 Watts RMS, the T2024 has sufficient power to drive most reasonably sensitive hifi
speakers to a decent volume level.
