Dayton Audio APA150 150W Power Amplifier

Item Description

Overview



THE ONLY AMPLIFIER(S) YOU'LL EVER NEED!

Amplifiers today need to be multi-faceted to keep up with the task at hand, and versatility is the foundation upon which the Dayton Audio APA150 is built. When configured in stereo mode, amplification is provided to a pair of speakers for stereo or surround playback. Select bridge-mono mode and the APA150 is ready to power a center channel speaker, or a subwoofer/tactile transducer when used with the on-board low pass filter. Full-range line-level outputs allow for daisy chaining amplifiers for a multi-room whole house audio system or for bi-amp applications. The APA150's smaller chassis consumes less space than conventional amplifiers, making placement options virtually limitless.


BIG-AMP FEATURES PACKED INTO A SMALL-AMP CHASSIS

Key features of the APA150 include high current, discrete power transistors (used in premium amp designs), a hefty toroidal power supply transformer, low-noise forced air cooling, a fully adjustable—and defeatable—electronic 50-150 Hz low-pass filter (18 dB/octave), and complete protection against electrical shorting and thermal overload. Also included are auto-on/off, silent turn-off with no audible transient, gold plated RCA inputs/outputs, and 5-way binding posts.

Features and Specifications: • Measured power output: 2 x 75 watts RMS (into 4 ohms @ less than 0.01% THD) • Signal-to-noise ratio: greater than 100 dB • Class A/B design topology • Input sensitivity: 1 V • Input impedance: 47k ohms • Auto-on sensitivity: 3 mV • Voltage requirement: 120/230 VAC, 60/50 Hz • Dimensions: 5.6'' H x 5.7'' W x 12.8'' D.

4. Observing polarity, insert the conductors into their appropriate binding posts and tighten the knobs down, securing the conductors in place.

Connecting Your Loudspeakers for Bridged-Mono Operation
1. Set the Mono-Stereo switch to Mono position.
2. Remove approximately 1/2'' of insulation from your speaker cables' positive and negative conductors.

Distinct burn odor and/or discolored/black spider around base of cone are characteristic of a burned voice coil.

*AUDITIONING YOUR SPEAKERS

Each speaker order includes the following instructions: To "audition" a speaker without scratching or marking it will require getting into the speaker cabinet and listening to it play without actually mounting it with screws. This can be done by tilting the cabinet back and setting the speaker in place. If the cabinet has bare wire leads, just wrap them around the solder lug connector on the back of the speaker to make the electrical connections. A friend can help hold the speaker in place while you listen to the new speaker. This is, of course, not an optimal way to listen to a speaker, but will give you the opportunity to identify major response problems or poor tonal characteristics prior to mounting.
