Features 

The AV25-2 audio amplifier offers 2 channels of clean, full-range, dynamic audio with 25W output 
power per channel in a sub-compact ¼ rack enclosure.  It has been optimized for 4Ω and 8Ω 
loudspeakers.  The Signal Detect circuitry automatically places the amplifier in sleep mode and 
wakens it when a signal is present.  The contact-closure terminals mute the audio output for fire 
alarm applications.  There are multiple mounting options to fit a variety of applications.  The external 
in-line power supply provides plenty of power to achieve full, rated audio output power. 

This product is proudly manufactured in the USA.
