Power Amplifier Type 2716

Power Amplifier Type 2716 is of compact size and low weight for its output power. It has the same features and protection circuits normally found only in higher powered amplifiers. This makes it one of the few really professional power amplifiers in its class.

Type 2716 fits in a 19″ rack or in Flight Case KE 0358. It has two channels which may be used independently or jointly (using the Link/Bridge A-B and Bridging Cable AQ0667).

Signals enter electronically balanced inputs via XLR and jack connectors. Input level requirements are matched by the signals generated by 2260 Investigator. Total output power is around 300W and is relatively independent of load. This matches the requirements for driving OmniPower Type 4292 with a wide margin of safety against damaging the speaker units. A single channel can be used to drive OmniSource Type 4295. Type 2716 will deliver full output power for a duty cycle of 1/3, matching typical operating modes in building acoustic measurements.

Quiet Operation

Type 2716 uses passive cooling during operation which removes the need for a cooling fan. The lack of cooling fan in turn makes Type 2716 very quiet during operation.

Extensive Protection

Power Amplifier Type 2716 has circuits that protect it against short-circuits, DC, overheating, VHF and clipping (clip limiter may be switched off).
