This Die-cast aluminum heat sink is designed
to dissipate massive amounts of heat from
the MOSFET drivers, while delivering crisp
clean sound with warm rich bass character-
istics. We have to tie-down this complex cir-
cuit board on three sides to spread the heat
evenly.
All your connections are on one side for an
extremely simple installation.

It’s tough to cram every desirable feature into one amplifiers series. The STAX
accomplished this. Heat-efficient vertical cooling fins work better than hori-
zontal fins on this cast heatsink. All control are conveniently located on one
side making installations ultra clean. The black acrylic top is reverseable so
the wiring can be in front or in back. To make these amps even cooler, there
are three 4 channels, three 2 channels and three monoblocks. There are also
3 sizes of chassis, one of each size which are all stackable! Any way you slice
it, the new STAX amps got it all…
