Introduction

Multi Channel 100V Power Amplifiers

The CAP Series are professional 100V Multi-Channel Power Amplifiers, containing various 
models with different channels and different output power configuration. Different output 
configurations with two and four channels and power ratings for 120 Watt, 240 Watt and 
480 Watt for each channel are available. 

This way, a flexible solution is created for Multi-Zone audio distribution systems with two 
or more independent zones.

They are designed as no-nonsense amplifiers with only the necessary controls and 
connections, which creates great simplicity in use and installation. A high efficiency and 
reliability of the devices is achieved by using switching power supplies in combination with 
Class-D Amplifier technology. A temperature controlled fan constantly keeps all parts within 
the right operation range, while avoiding excessive buzz. A built-in multipurpose protection 
circuit protects against DC malfunction, Short circuit, overheating, overload and limits the 
signal when necessary.

The input connections are performed using balanced XLR connectors and Link output 
connectors are provided for link through to other amplifiers. Besides, a high-pass filter 
switch (400 Hz) and a Gain adjustment potentiometer are provided for each channel.

The output connections are performed using reliable terminal block connectors and this all 
is housed into a solid constructed, double rack space (2 HE) 19” rack mounting housing.
