SPEAKERCRAFT’S ALL-NEW AMPLIFIER SERIES IS NOW
SHIPPING
PETALUMA, CALIFORNIA, November 10, 2014 – Leading home entertainment and
control technology solutions provider, Core Brands, a Nortek company, today
announced SpeakerCraft’s newest series of amplifiers is now shipping. The new line is
available from 50-, 100- and 150-watt stereo amps to 12- and 16-channel amps with 30
and 50 watts per channel respectively.
“SpeakerCraft’s new amps are designed to make
installation easier and more straight forward than
ever before,” Core Brands Audio Marketing
Manager, Matt Dever said. “This new series gives
our dealers the product they need for any size
installation, and enables them to place power
where it’s needed for any system - large or
small.”
The 2-channel digital, high current bridgeable
stereo amplifiers, the SC2-50, SC2-100 and SC250, offer classic SpeakerCraft power and stability,
bringing extremely high current power to custom
installed A/V systems. With independent level
controls, each amplifier channel features an independent level control enabling precise
volume matching to the rest of the system. These level controls can also limit volume to
prevent abuse of the system.
The 12-channel fully configured power amplifier, the SC12-30, delivers a solid 30 watts
per channel RMS into 8 ohms and 40 watts per channel RMS into 4 ohms. This provides
the energy necessary to efficiently deliver solid, deep, controlled bass response to a
house full of speakers. In addition, the SC12-30 comes equipped with a unique
BusMatrix™ selector, enabling users to assign each channel to a common Left, Right, or
Mono signal bus, or to a dedicated signal input. The BusMatrix™ incorporates advanced
PCB construction ensuring extremely high channel-to-channel isolation, providing signal
to noise ratios and cross-talk equivalent to a professional mixing board found in a
recording studio.
Shipping in four to six weeks is the SC16-50, a 16-channel TCP/IP fully configured power
amplifiers, with a web-based IP configuration utility that provides independent EQ
adjustments and volume level for each amplifier channel enabling the user to EQ and
set volume levels for 16 different speakers individually. Each of the SC16-50’s eight
adjacent speaker output pairs are configurable into a single high power output, enabling
the user to create up to eight 100-watt channels using a web-based IP configuration
utility. This enables greater power allocation to specific locations, such as large rooms or
outdoor applications.
“These new amps share the same industrial design with the MRA-664,” Dever added.
“Together they deliver a branded audio distribution solution that is perfect for any size
installation.”
All of the new amps feature three turn-on modes: music sense, external voltage trigger,
and manual turn-on via the front panel switch. Each model can be configured to any
kind of system to have the unit automatically turn on. Additionally, every model in the
series has a total harmonic distortion of 0.2% THD from 20Hz to 20kHz, and a 12-volt
control out. The audio circuitry is constructed with the finest parts available, including
1% metal film resistors, high quality capacitors and oversized hear sinks for clear and
uncolored sound.
Every amplifier in the new series comes with rack mount ears, a removable line chord
and a two year limited warranty. SpeakerCaft’s new amps have been tested and
certified in the US, Canada, EU and Australia safety and EMC standards.
