The AMP2200 cools passively, because 92% efficiency at full power leaves very little energy to dissipate. The 1U chassis fits the same rack as the rest of the chain, so the amplifier does not have to live in a machine room at the end of long speaker runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn input stage that does not spoil the signal before it is amplified\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronically balanced inputs with a studio-grade buffer match impedance to any source — a monitor controller, a converter, a desk — so the amplifier never loads the output feeding it. Neutrik XLR connectors with earth lift kill the ground loops that produce mains hum in a typical control room. Signal and clip LEDs per channel show the state of the chain without reaching for a meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × 200 W reference amplifier into 8 Ω, under 1% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass-D amplification on Hypex UcD modules, 92% efficiency at full power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanless construction for completely silent operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically balanced inputs with studio-grade buffer circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrik XLR connectors with earth lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal and clip LEDs for each channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeakon and 8-pin Phoenix speaker outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePop-free start and stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC-error detection and overheating protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1U chassis, designed and assembled in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 2 × 200 W into 8 Ω (under 1% THD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 20 Hz – 25 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: 0.03% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: electronically balanced, Neutrik XLR with earth lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs: Speakon and 8-pin Phoenix connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEfficiency: 92% at full power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle losses: under 16 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum power consumption: 470 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains: 180–260 V, 50–60 Hz (90–130 V optional on request)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 483 × 270 × 44 mm (1U), weight 4.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the box: amplifier, 8-pin Phoenix connector, standard IEC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HLabs Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54701706543441,"sku":"60815","price":1175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/HLabsAudioAMP22001.jpg?v=1788171769"}],"url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/collections\/hlabs-audio.oembed","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
