SnapAV Episode® 150 Watts Per Channel Digital Amplifier

Episode® 150 Watts per Channel Digital Amplifier (2 Channel - 2U Size - Audio Sense - Loop Outputs)

• The Episode® EA-AMP-2D-150A is an efficient Class-D amplifier that features two channels at a powerful 150 watts pre channel RMS, making it the perfect fit for stereo applications. With audio sensing turn-on, loop outputs, adjustable gain control and bridgeable output, it offers the versatility required for today's sophisticated audio systems.

Digital Amplification

• Our engineers have combined today's most advanced digital amplifier technologies with installer-friendly features to create a robust powerplant for demanding audio applications. Unlike analog amplifiers from the competition, our digital amplifiers are much more energy efficient and run up to 80% cooler than traditional analog amplifiers.

Audio-Sensing And 12V Trigger Turn-On

• Three convenient turn-on modes make it easy to integrate with simple volume controls or sophisticated control systems. Audio-sense is perfect for Sonos or Apple Airplay multi-room audio – when the last source shuts down, the amplifier will gracefully go into a power-saving standby mode. The 12V trigger inputs and outputs allow you to use a preamp or control system to turn the amp on or off, or have it "wake up" another device when the amp is activated.
• Note: The front panel power button is inoperative when the 12V Trigger or Audio Sense power modes are selected.

Bridgeable Speaker Outputs

• For larger speakers or high-power applications, bridgeable channels allow you to turn this amplifier into a powerful 300W monoblock! Perfect for high-power outdoor applications, or double-up for a killer stereo system.

Gain Controls

• The EA-AMP-2D-150A offers a gain adjustment to optimize the amplifier to your specific system. This is used to prevent harmful clipping that could cause damage to the amplifier or speakers.

Loop Outputs

• When using a stack of amplifiers, the loop outputs are a convenient way to daisy-chain the signal to downstream components – perfect for a high power outdoor zone, for example. This eliminates the need for RCA splitters and gives a much cleaner (and faster) install.

Built-In ESD And Surge Protection

• Multi-room AV environments can be tough on an amplifier. Each speaker run acts like an antenna, so all kinds of nasty things can happen when the weather changes. That’s why we engineered this amp with surge protection components that exceed CE Level 3 standards. During development, every connection was tortured using both an ESD and lightning simulator – all speaker outputs, RCA connectors even the power input have been surged ESD tested with up to 15,000V and Surge tested at 2,400V. Most importantly, though, they each lived to tell about it.

Grounds For Improvement

• If you’ve ever experience hum from your speakers or noise on your TV, odds are it was due to system grounding. This amplifier was engineered for not only the best surge protection but also with an isolated common ground for the audio circuits. The result is a great sounding, and reliable system that your customer will enjoy for years.

5-Way Binding Posts

• No spring terminals here! Gold-plated, 5-way binding posts create a pure signal path with a variety of connectivity options.
