SONANCE
SONAMP®875D MKII
Features:
65W x 8 @ 8; 250W x 4 @ 8(bridged) in a 2U rack height
chassis
RS-232 control of volume, mute, on/off, and BBE®sound
enhancement.
Highly efficient ICEpower®digital amplification generates very little
heat and keeps the amplifier’s size to a minimum which greatly
expands installation options.
BBE sound enhancement improves speaker presence and
detail.

The Sonamp 875D MKII utilizes four highly-efficient Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® digital amplifiers that provide 65 watts RMS per
channel @ 8 ohms x 8 Channels in a 2U high package with very little heat generation. The Sonamp 875D MKII incorporates BBE
sound enhancement, improving the sound quality of your music at lower listening levels. BBE also restores clarity and definition to
spoken voices, which makes paging systems easier to understand without having to run them at high volumes. Multiple audio input
connections (Direct, L/R & Aux) and buffered line outputs make your 875D MKII extremely flexible, so you can connect the amplifier
in a variety of ways depending on your particular system’s configuration. Recessed front-panel controls are tamper-resistant and let
you adjust each channel’s input level and each zone’s auto-on sensitivity. The 875D MKII’s RS-232 connection lets you use a variety
of third-party serial control systems to control almost all of the 875D MKII’s functions, including mute, volume, on/off and BBE per
zone or for the whole amp. It also lets you monitor the amplifier’s operation from a remote location. Each zone has its own 12V input
and output triggers and defeatable auto-on signal sensing that help maximize power management for the channel configuration in
use at any time.
