Accusonic Introduces New Two-Channel Modular Amplifier

Accusonic has introduced the new DB 200 modular duoblock amplifier. This amplifier, according to the company, combines the features of high-end home sound amplification with the quality and reliability of professional equipment, at a truly affordable price! Streamlined and compact, the DB 200 needs only 31/2 inches of shelf space and aligns neatly with other Accusonic monoblock and duoblock amps to provide maximum configuration versatility. Whether used for stereo audio reproduction or as part of a multichannel home theatre system, the DB 200 delivers 70 watts per channel at 8 ohms. A convenient external switch activates bridge mode operation for 220 watts of power. Easy to install - and easy to add on to as system needs change - the DE 200 is also well-suited for whole house amplification. ""Full dynamic range... tonal purity... three-dimensional acoustic imaging... focused dialog...these qualities characterize the sound reproduction of the DB 200,"" says the company. A control output jack facilitates connection of multiple amplifiers and provides single point system control. Features include power up with the panel switch or via 12 volt DC signal. A master-slave switch enables units to be activated by incoming audio signal and to revert to energy-saving standby mode after ten minutes of no signal. Individual channel gain control makes it easy to adjust volume level balances throughout the system. Accusonic amplifiers interface with virtually all other audio equipment with line level outputs. The DB 200's sleek exterior has no exposed heat sinks and permits side-by-side mounting to fit standard cabinets or optional rack installation. Buffered signal outputs enable daisy-chaining of multiple units without signal degradation. According to the company, Accusonic uses vertically integrated manufacturing and industrial-quality components to yield amplifiers that transcend the level of typical consumer grade products. Advanced engineering and stringent quality control ensure years of maintenance-free use. Available immediately at $399.00 retail, the DB 200 represents an outstanding combination of performance, convenience, and quality at an extremely competitive price.
