is one of the most highly-regarded brands of amplifiers available today. We appreciate your business
and we stand committed to providing our customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry.
The ECA-70AMP-2D 2-channel, 70-volt digital power amplifier series is designed for applications requiring
two separate channels for stereo audio, or two zones of audio requiring different sources or levels. With low
heat output thanks to digital amplification, and massive power output in a small, 1U package, these amplifiers
are guaranteed to perform.
1U Rack Height
Save space in already-crowded rack with the first 1U-sized 70 volt amplifier on the market.
Digital 70 Volt Amplification
State-of-the-art electronics provide clean sounding audio and efficient operation in a lightweight package.
Less than half the power consumption and weight of equivalent 2 channel 70 volt amplifiers.
Two Zone Audio
Isolated inputs and outputs for each zone can be used for 2 separate mono channels, stereo left and right
channels, or 2 channels of the same source.
Independent Volume Controls
Each input level may be adjusted individually.
12V Trigger and Audio Sense Control
Integrated power control allows the amplifier to be switched on and off at will by other equipment, or to
automatically turn on when it senses signal on either input. Another first for 70 volt amplifiers.
Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs
Attach any source quickly and easily. Standard unbalanced RCA inputs are accompanied by balanced inputs
using set-screw connectors for universal compatibility.

The ECA-70AMP-2D amplifier is only meant to be used with 70 Volt loudspeakers. Use any combination
of speakers as long as the sum of the wattage does not exceed the rated wattage of the speaker output.
