PLB-AMP8 8-Channel Audio Power Amplifier

Product Information

The PLB-AMP8 (FIG. 1) provides eight channels of amplification. The gain for each channel can 

be controlled from a variety of points, including PHASTLink devices, push-button controls at the 

back of the amplifier, and via a PC, using the amplifier's properties page in the Landmark software. 

Individual LEDs above each channel indicate selected channels. Channel volume levels (0-99) for 

selected channels are displayed on LEDs at the back of the amplifier.
