Description
The C 88:4 is the new flagship of the C Series and is the most powerful single frame, 4-channel installation amplifier ever built! Delivering an amazing 4 × 2200 W at 2 ohms, this amplifier is powerful enough for the most demanding of installed sound applications including, larger sub-woofers, large array systems and broader multi-power-level/impedance applications. Packaged in a compact 2U chassis, the C 88:4 sets a new benchmark for extreme power and flexibility in an installation-dedicated amplifier.
Features
- 8,800 Watt, 4-channel amplifier with up to 2,200 Watts output per channel and NomadLink network for monitoring and control
- Selectable gain plus scalable Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) and bridge-mode operation allow custom configuration for any application
- Proven and reliable Class-TD output stage delivers Class-A/B audio quality with Class-D efficiency
- Intuitive DeviceControl software monitors and controls key functions via the NomadLink network
- Comprehensive protection scheme including current, voltage, DC, temperature, short circuit and open load warnings
- Efficient Intercooler copper cooling system dissipates more heat for extended peak output
