The ASCENDO 8-2704 is a powerful 8-channel audiophile grade, high efficiency Class D multi-channel amplifier suitable for driving passive speakers and/or passive subwoofers in a multi-channel audio/visual installation.

The ASCENDO 8-2704 amplifier is 18” rack mountable and temperature-controlled fan cooled.

It offers eight XLR (balanced) line inputs (which may also be driven unbalanced if needed); and eight Neutrik SpeakOn outputs.

Available power is 225W RMS per channel into 8 ohms; which may also be bridged to offer 4 channels of 680W RMS each into 8 ohms.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:

— Sixteen, eight, four and two channel models

— Ultra-compact and lightweight 2-U high

— Laser cut aluminum front panel

— FCM™ Faulty Channel Management system to avoid entire device shutdown

— State-of-the-art layout for maximum performance and reliability

— Sealed potentiometers (21 levels) for easy recall of volume settings (excepting 16-channels model)

— ICL, PROT, SIGNAL indicators per channel

— Optional Add-on card to interface with third party alarm systems with GPIO connections

— ICL clip-limiters

— Switchable (35Hz) sub-sonic high-pass filter per channel

— All channels bridgeable by pairs

— Temperature and signal dependent, intelligent cooling system for minimal noise

— Highly oversized thermal dissipation design for maximum reliability
