Sixteen Channels of Digital Cool.
Sweet Sixteen
Digital Cool
Clip Proof!
With 16 channels of digital amplification stable down to four ohms, the D1650
has all the channels and power you need for any distributed audio application –
and it happens to be the perfect companion to ELAN’s new 8-zone A/V controller –
the System12.
Waste not - want not. Class-T digital technology means the D1650 is not wasting
its energy producing heat which, in turn, won’t leave you wanting for more power
and better sound.
Once again, we’ve pulled an ACE out of our deck…ACE ‘Automatic Clip Elimination’,
that is - a dynamic leveling circuit developed by ELAN that makes all D Series ampli-
fiers virtually clip proof!
D1650
More Channels
The latest in the D Series line of Digital Power
Amplifiers, the D1650 has 16 channels of amplifica-
tion rated at 60 WPC RMS into 4 Ohms and 45
WPC RMS into 8 Ohms. These 16 channels can be
configured to power up to 8 stereo zones,
16 monaural zones, or any combination of the two –
making it the ideal amplifier for the System12,
ELAN’s new 8-zone multi-room A/V controller.
Of course, with 16 channels of great sound, the
D1650 also happens to be the ideal amplifier for
just about any distributed audio system.
Wonderfully Flexible
The D1650 allows for easy configuration of its
inputs and outputs. A and B Stereo Busses allow
you to route one set of inputs to other inputs without
the use of additional cables. Buffered loop outputs
for each channel make it easy to configure multi-
room listening areas in either stereo or mono.
Eight 12VDC Trigger Inputs allow each pair of chan-
nels to be powered up and muted independently. A
12VDC Trigger Output can be
used to turn on or mute additional amplifiers.
Runs Cool
Class–T Digital Technology gives the D1650 an
85% efficiency rating – a spec unreachable by tradi-
tional Class-A/B amplifiers. Class-T also
has a THD + Noise specification of less than 0.04%
- a spec unattainable by Class-D amplifiers. This
low-heat/high-efficiency design, combined with
an ultra-high-efficiency toroidal transformer and
200,000 uF bulk storage capacitance, ensures that
all 16 channels can deliver their full-rated power at
the same time. Even when it’s running all-out, the
D1650 remains cool and sounds clean.
Looks Cool
The D1650 has a Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD)
with cool-blue lighting that shows the level
settings for each channel. Channel levels can be
individually adjusted via front panel buttons, and
the ‘lockout’ feature ensures that finely tuned level
settings cannot be inadvertently changed. Sixteen
blue LEDs indicate signal presence for each channel.
Sixteen red LEDs indicate clipping and the automatic
activation of the ACE™ circuitry. Very cool indeed.
