Description
Speaker bi-amplification via Digital Signal Processing lies at the foundation of PRO design philosophy and the DPA-202 combines these technologies into a single rack-mount chassis.
Delivering 200 watts per channel into a 4-ohm load, the DPA-202 provides a powerful solution for a myriad of PRO loudspeaker amplification needs. Versatile by design, the DPA-202 may be used as a cost effective alternative to bi-amplify side and rear channel loudspeakers in cinema applications, while also offering the perfect power compliment for PRO “iw” and “im” series loudspeakers and subwoofers. Likewise, the DPA-202 can be combined with the more powerful DPA-502 or DPA-1002 as a lower power alternative, sufficient for the very high sensitivity high-frequency section of all PRO horn loaded loudspeakers.
Designed for traditional two-channel or bi-amplification needs, each DPA-202 comes pre-programmed from the factory for the speaker model with which it will be paired. A true multipurpose amplifier, the DPA-202 employs on-board DSP processing for all crossover functions, time alignment, and high-resolution frequency response shaping.
Beyond its power and DSP processing prowess, the DPA-202 offers intelligent feedback of system status to simplify installation and troubleshooting of the system. LED indicators for power, signal present and clipping are provided on the rear of the chassis, where they are easily accessible during system set-up and tuning, but will not interfere with theater room aesthetics during operation.
Built upon proven Class-D technology from Bang & Olufsen, the DPA-202 operates so efficiently that large heat sink fins or cooling fans are not required. As a result, the amplifiers are dead-quiet in the rack and can be safely mounted tightly together without concern of over-heating. Each DPA-202 has its power switch located on the rear panel along with a 12 volt/contact-closure sensor for remote power-on control. The 12VDC trigger input draws very little current and the looping output jack makes controlling a whole rack of DPA amplifiers a breeze.
