Product Research
Features
Overview: The Clare Controls amp.7150 is a 7-channel Class D amplifier that can be used as a surround amplifier or 3-zone distribution amplifier.
7-Channel Class D Amp: The Amp.7150 uses Class D amplifier technology which runs cooler and is more efficient (>90%) than traditional Class A/B amps. The Clare Controls Amp.7150 amplifier is rated at 150 watts x 7 channels in 8Ω or 300 watts x 7 channels in 4Ω.
Two Independent Feedback Loops: The use of two independent feedback loops allow the Amp.7150 to provide lower distortion, less noise on output, a frequency response less dependent on load, and lower output impedance than other Class D amps. The result is a natural, relaxed and dynamic sound with excellent stereo perspective and a tightly controlled precise bass that will do justice to all your music sources.
7 Inputs w/ Independent Gain Control: The Amp.7150 features seven RCA inputs; each with independent gain control. These individual channel inputs can be used with multi-channel preamps or dedicated sources.
Speaker Terminals: Each speaker connection features a removable Phoenix-style connector that accommodates 18 to 14-gauge stranded speaker wire.
Trigger Input: The amplifier can be triggered to turn-on via the 12VDC trigger input (3.5mm) on the rear of the amplifier. This allows the amp to remain in Standby mode until it is required for used, thereby greatly reducing overall power consumption.
Protection Circuits: The Amp.7150 implements a total of nine independent protection circuits, monitoring the temperature, current and voltage of several different functional blocks, assuring uninterrupted music until maximum limits are reached.
Switched-Mode Power Supply: Using technologies designed by ICEpower, a subsidiary of Bang & Olufsen, the Amp.7150 uses an advanced switched-mode power supply that consumes less than 0.2W in standby.
Rack-Mountable: The Amp.7150 comes with a pair of rack ears and hardware to mount the 7-channel amplifier in your rack system. The Amp.7150 takes up 2U spaces.
