The convenient two rackspace design is compact, and yet thereŒŠí_ŒÈs plenty of power available, with 2 x 400 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 600 watts at 4 ohms.

For mono applications, a bridged mode links both channels of the amplifiers, thus providing even more power, with a power rating of 1200 watts for the SX1800 into an 8 ohm load.

Input connections are made via combination connectors allowing for both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4ŒŠí_Œ TRS connections. For the outputs, the SX1800 amplifier provides standard 5-way binding posts, as well as SpeakonŒŠí£Œ¢ connectors. Front panel controls and displays include a power switch with LED indicator, as well as independent left and right channel input level controls. To help you set the correctoperating levels, the SX amplifiers include front panel Signal, Peak and Protection LED indicators.

Like all serious power amplifiers, the SX1800ŒŠí_ŒÈs internal electronics are based around a serious powercore, with oversized toroidal transformer and large extruded heatsinks. To keep the SX amplifiers running cool, their designs employ twin internal wind tunnels with forced-air cooling via two temperature-sensitive,variable speed fans, which greatly reduce the chance of thermal and overheating problems. Multi-stage protection for power-up, over-heating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage, assures high reliability under the most demanding situations.

The SX1800 is road tough with its all steel chassis, 19-inch rackmount design and convenient carry handles, so it's ready for a life of travel, or to make itŒŠí_ŒÈs home in a fixed installation.
