Audica Professional Launches MICROplus 4-Channel Power Amplifier at Frankfurt
Audica Professional will again be exhibiting at ProLight+Sound with its German distributor Trius GmbH & Co. KG – Hall 8.0, Stand B36/42. In addition to showing the complete stylish range of MICROseries electronics and loudspeakers for background music, AV and audio communication applications, the company will be launching the new MICROplus 4-channel power amplifier.
The Audica Professional MICROplus is an ultra-compact unit with the same size and style of head-unit mounting as the company’s MICROzone pre/amp/controller, which it is designed to partner. It delivers 4 x 80W into 4 Ohm per channel, 2 x 80W into 4 Ohm plus 1 x 160W bridged into 8 Ohm or 2 x 160W into 8 Ohm with twin channels bridged. Features include four-channel limiting and protection and individual channel bar indicators showing output level, clip and fault. The unit has rear-mount level control, phono in/out and screw terminal loudspeaker outputs for each channel. Being a straight gain amplifier, the MICROplus is designed to be used in conjunction with the MICROzone, which provides pre-amp functions and the equalisation for the MICROseries loudspeakers.
“MICROplus is an important addition to the MICROseries,” explained Audica professional sales director, Derek West. “When we first launched MICROseries we really didn’t appreciate the size of some installations it would be chosen for, based on audio quality and design, and our only limitation has been amplifier power. Used singly or in multiples, MICROplus resolves this cost effectively and provides a system capable of handling almost any size of applicable installation. With a MICROzone and a MICROplus in our optional 2U rack panel we have pre-amp, controller and a serious and flexible 370W (2 x 25W plus 4 x 80W) amplifier package, with the ability to constantly expand the system by up to 8 x 80W for each additional 2U of rack space.”
West continued, “We chose a straight gain design for the MICROplus as we already pre-amp and EQ functions handled by the MICROzone for complete Audica sound systems, but this also gives the advantage that MICROplus can be used for any audio system that needs a high quality, ultra-compact four-channel power amplifier”.
