CAD PX5002 500W x 2ch Power Amplifier
<p>The Astatic PX5002 is a high-performance 2-channel Class-D professional power amplifier engineered for </p>
<p>commercial installed audio, touring-grade portable systems, houses of worship, education facilities, and </p>
<p>corporate AV environments that demand greater output power without sacrificing efficiency or rack space. </p>
<p>Built into an ultra-compact 1U, 19-inch rackmount chassis, the PX5002 delivers substantially increased </p>
<p>headroom while maintaining low weight and excellent thermal efficiency through its switch-mode power </p>
<p>supply with soft-start circuitry. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Designed for maximum system flexibility, the PX5002 supports stereo, mono (parallel), and bridge operation </p>
<p>modes, allowing it to drive a wide range of loudspeaker configurations from distributed systems to high-power </p>
<p>mono applications. Integrated peak limiting, a switchable 75 Hz low-cut filter, and selectable input sensitivity </p>
<p>help protect loudspeakers and maintain clean, distortion-free output. Comprehensive protection </p>
<p>circuits—including DC fault, thermal, overload, and short-circuit protection—ensure stable, dependable </p>
<p>operation in continuous-use and mission-critical installations. </p>
