Overview

2x 950W Premium Studio-Monitoring Amplifier

Designed for use in the best studio monitoring environment, but equally at home in any application where transparency and “no compromise“ performance are the focus, the S800 delivers the sound quality and reliability expected from MC2. S800 delivers over 950W into 4 ohms with both channels driven, and an 1900W in bridge mode.

S800 utilises the best complimentary AB bipolar output stages, combined with the unique MC2 current driven floating drive stage along with analogue level controls for minimal signal degradation.

Sophisticated “side-chain” limiters prevent distortion and speaker damage, but are out-ofcircuit until the onset of clipping so do not compromise the signal path under normal working conditions. A bespoke high fidelity shielded toroidal power supply combined with intelligent low noise fan control provide optimum conditions for the output stages, ensuring the only thing you will ever hear is your sound.

Critical parts have been selected through a series of listening tests for optimum sonic performance and approved by some of the most well respected personnel in the industry. The amplifiers of course include full DC, thermal and short circuit protection to ensure trouble-free service.
