New Lightweight Touring Amp from MC2 Audio
MC2 Audio used the recent Frankfurt Pro Light+Sound show to launch the E45 power amplifier, the third in its E-Series of lightweight, touring / rental amplifiers.
The high powered 11kg amplifier, which is aimed directly at the national and international touring market, is the latest in the E-Series and follows the successful introduction of the E25 and E15 last year. These lightweight, switchmode amps are designed to the same high standards of reliability and sound quality as all MC Audio products.
The E45 is rated at 2250W / channel into 4 ohms, built in a 2U chassis, and has all the sonic qualities and reliability of the MC and T Series amplifiers but without the physical weight, making it ideal for touring. The switchmode power supply is capable of delivering high peaks without any perceptible bass ‘sag’ at very low distortion and is kept within its safe operating area by the new, sophisticated MC2 ‘intelligent’ limiter. These qualities make it ideal for driving high power PA systems, including subwoofers, packing high power into a compact size.
Main features include a digital power supply with a large power reservoir, proprietary-designed progressive switching rail output, MC2 Audio proprietary current driven output stages for ultra high-definition sound, full power delivery over the entire audio bandwidth, lightweight aluminium construction, all-new low distortion limiters with adjustable threshold points for extra speaker protection, optional 24dB/Octave Linkwitz Riley crossover cards and full DC, short circuit and thermal protection. The amplifier is also protected by a five year warranty.
MC2 Audio managing director Ian McCarthy comments: “This amplifier has been designed expressly with the needs of major touring rental companies in mind, and in pre-launch auditions with a number of leading companies using various world-class PA systems, has proved an outright winner.”
