From the innovative minds at ART.
From the innovative minds at ART.
Our latest amplifier offering stems from the
success of our popular 100 watt SLA 1.
For all of you “power” hungry audio enthusiests,
we present to you the more powerful SLA-2.
The SLA-2 is a studio linear power amp that
delivers 200 watts of clean, clear power, and
will help reproduce your mixes with near
pinpoint accuracy inside a single rack space.
One of the top features on the SLA2 is ART’s
SmartFan technology. In addition to a standard
cooling fan, the oversized convection heat sinks
located on each side of the SLA 2 silently
directs heatflow outside the chassis. What
makes the SmartFan “smart”? It’s temperture-
controlled variable speed keeps the amp quiet
and cool while performing at lower output.
SmartFan kicks in only when the amp’s heatload
rises creating an “on demand” cooling system
in warmer environments.
With the already stellar level of sound quality,
the SLA-2’s redesigned circuitry combined with
the same straightforward user interface quickly
and accurately packs the additional power
punch you need.
We’ve also included a tamper proof faceplate
for your fixed installations.
It’s long list of useful features measure up to
an incredible value. The SLA-2 is perfect for
pro, project and home studios, and is a perfect
compliment to the ART SLM-1 Studio Linear
Monitors. The combination of these two units
allow project studios upgrade their existing
set-up for monitoring recorded material.
