Overview

The MCA-1248 multi-channel amplifier produces a big, luxurious sound yet is so efficient it requires no heat sink or ventilating fan. The small but powerful package delivers true high-fidelity performance surpassing amplifiers ten times its size and weight - at ten pounds and two rack units, by far the most compact and efficient amplifier in its class.

The robust design provides extremely clean state-of-the-art power with unexpected sound depth and musical clarity, from any volume-controlled line-level input on quiet, efficient 110 VAC power. Advanced protection circuitry guards against overload, overheating and short circuits. Pragmatic's Class-D digital amplifiers offer high efficiency and clock frequency, very linear gain and phase characteristics, a flat frequency response from 10 Hz to 50 kHz with no ripple in the passband, very low change in distortion versus output power (typically 0.01-0.05%), and very high signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.
