RDL ST-PA18 18 W Mono Audio Amplifier

18 Watt Mono Audio Amplifier - 8 Ω The ST-PA18 features a balanced line level input that may be connected unbalanced. The gain control range will accommodate standard unbalanced levels as well as professional balanced levels. The module bridges the input signal. LOOP OUT terminals permit a balanced input to be fed to additional amplifier modules making the ST-PA18 an ideal component in distributed audio system design. The LOOP OUT may also be used to feed a subwoofer amplifier (see RDL ST-CX2S Subwoofer Filter). The ST-PA18 output will drive an 8 Ω speaker or multiple speakers connected to present an 8 Ω load to the amplifier and it is capable of driving 4 Ω loads. A red COMP LED is provided to indicate the threshold of the integral compressor. Audio levels that could cause the amplified output to clip are compressed according to two dynamic time constants. Normal audio level signals remain unaffected by the compressor thereby preserving audio dynamics and preventing the compressor fro
