ALC2 features
Balanced input stages
Balanced XLR inputs make the amplifier less susceptible to noise and AC hum pickup, especially when using long cable runs.
Signal link outputs
The XLR link output connectors are internally hardwired to the input connectors and can be used to daisy chain the input signals to another amplifier.
Dual output connectors
Each channel of the ALC2 is equipped with two four pole Speakon® outputs for easy installation.
