Extron Electronics has announced availability of its MPA 601, an Energy Star qualified mono audio amplifier delivering 60 watts rms output.
It is housed in a compact convection cooled and UL 2043 plenum enclosure and meets UL requirements for in-ceiling installations. The Class D amplifier features Extron’s patented CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression technology. Three stereo inputs are individually buffered so three separate sources can be connected simultaneously. The MPA 601 has an auto power-down feature, placing the amplifier in standby after 25 minutes of inactivity. The standby timer can be disabled. The MPA 601 is suited to applications with space restrictions that require sufficient power for a small to medium distributed audio system.
The MPA 601 is available in 70 volt and 100 volt models. It has professional grade signal-to-noise of greater than 90 dB and noise of less than 0.1% THD+N.
It is a 1U high, quarter-rack unit that can be mounted in a small rack, within a credenza, within a lectern, or behind a display in lobby or commons locations. It has a UL rating for use in plenum air spaces so can be concealed above a drop ceiling.
