Introduction
Sixteen channel Class D Amplifier
TheDPA616isaprofessionalsixteenchannelpoweramplifier,whichiscapableofdelivering
apowerof60Wattto4Ohmloadsconnectedtothe16outputchannels.Whenusedinbridge
mode,itcandeliverapowerof120Wattto8Ohmloadsconnectedtothe8bridgedoutputs.
Thisway,theDPA616istheperfectsolutionforinstalledMulti-Zoneaudiodistribution
systemswith8or16zones.
Itisdesignedasano-nonsenseamplifierwithonlythenecessarycontrolsandconnections,
whichcreatesgreatsimplicityinuseandinstallation.
Theinputconnectionsareallperformedwith3-pinTerminalblockconnectors,allowingthe
connectionofbalancedinputsignals.Everychannelisfittedwithaseparategaincontrol
