Its 8 channels make it suitable for distributed outdoor zones, architectural systems and projects where rack space and predictable thermal behaviour matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier uses a Class D output stage with advanced GaN FET devices and silent passive cooling. That is useful in residential racks because there is no fan noise to manage, although the rack still needs sensible ventilation and service access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower That Can Be Allocated Around the Project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-channel and bridged ratings let the installer match channels to different speaker roles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-channel output is rated at 240W into 4 ohms and 120W into 8 ohms at 1% THD. Bridged output is rated at 480W into 4 ohms and 480W into 8 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all channels driven, the published figure is 135W per channel @ 4 ohms. Keeping these test conditions separate matters because a distributed system can load several channels at once, while a bridged subwoofer channel has a different requirement again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRack and Control Planning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork DSP amplification belongs in the system design before cable is installed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is 88 x 427 x 398mm and the rack-bracket depth\/width figure is 88 x 481.9 x 430.5mm.
