PA-1800 Professional Multi Purpose Amplifier

Artcoustic has designed and engineered the PA-1800
Professional Multi Purpose Amplifier. The PA-1800 performs
smoothly and accurately even in the most demanding
conditions. The PA-1800 is matched to all the Artcoustic
loudspeakers’ impedance and tonality, making a perfect match
with amazing detail, control and dynamics.

The PA-1800 offers incredible 3 channel performance in a
rack mountable chassis just 2U high. This together with it’s
high performance and silent running dual fan speed cooling
system means it is suitable for almost any application, from
recording studios to commercial bars & restaurants, high
quality hi-fi and high-end home cinema systems. It features
3 individual mono blocks with a total of 1500 watt. This makes
it a stunning partner for Artcoustic’s passive subwoofers or
for the ultimate performance when using multiple amplifiers
to Bi-amp the larger models in the DF and Spitfire range.
