Compact Precision amplifiers combine outstanding audio
performance with the highest-possible reliability and
safety to create an ideal high-power solution for touring
and rentals. Incorporating an innovative switchmode
power supply into Class-H technology, the CP series
delivers clean headroom that is far above stated nominal
output. This advanced design also results in improved
performance-to-weight ratio for easier touring, reduced
waste heat for closer rack spacing and reduced power
consumption for enhanced energy efficiency. A complete
set of protection circuitry guards people and equipment
against hazardous conditions, and a rigid, robust chassis,
built to the highest precision manufacturing standards,
ensures dependable operation on even the most grueling
tours. With exceptionally clean power and tour-friendly
touches that facilitate fast, flexible setup, Compact
Precision amplifiers fulfill even the most demanding
requirements of pro audio touring.
