The DA-Series is distinguished from conventional

amplifiers by its intelligent computer control. The DA

amplifiers employ shaft-encoder controls and LCD

displays. They offer superb thermal stability, ultra-low

distortion, and unprecedented reliability. DA amplifiers

utilize an industry-first electronic circuit breaker which

may be remotely reset through network control.

All three models are based on third generation bi-

polar transistor technology for the utmost in confidence

and freedom from long-term degradation of sound

quality.

The DA-Series offers many additional practical

features, such as a front panel, removable air filter for

ease in cleaning and adjustable rear rack ears. DA

amplifiers are also available with built-in loudspeaker

processors for single-amped, bi-amped, and subwoofer

loudspeaker models.

An on-board microprocessor continually monitors

all critical internal functions and sends status reports to

the front panel information display. The vital

information that the computer provides, such as driver

impedance and line voltage, can greatly aid the

professional in quickly troubleshooting or verifying

proper system performance.
