ART SLA-1 100 Watt Studio Linear Power Amplifier

Overview

The SLA-1 Studio Linear Amplifier is a robust yet compact power amplifier designed for studio or even select live applications. It has been designed and engineered to provide clean, quiet power and excellent sound with ultra-low noise and distortion. Perfect for professional, project and home studios, the SLA-1 can easily move out of the studio and into any live rig installation as an ideal monitor amplifier or zone amp solution.

SLA-1 Applications:

  • Rated at 100 watts rms/channel @ 8 ohms (130 watts rms/channel @ 4ohms), with a frequency response from 10 Hz to 40 kHz
  • Capable of delivering 260 watts when bridged mono into an 8 ohm load
  • Housed in an aluminum and steel single space 19-inch rackmount chassis
  • Proven toroidal transformer design for unmatched long-term reliability
  • The SLA-1 features SmartFan, an advanced, thermal dependent fan assisted convection cooled system.
  • The SmartFan system is dependent upon the internal ambient temperature of the unit, and runs at high or low levels depending on the amplifier’s cooling needs
  • XLR and 1/4-inch TRS balanced inputs as well as multi-way output binding posts are ensure the SLA-1 can be quickly and easily tied in to any system without modification.
  • Simple to install tamper proof cover is included
