Product Description
RDL SF-PA100A Format-A to 100W Mono Audio Amplifier, 70/100V
Overview
The SF-PA100A is a compact, high-performance audio power amplifier designed to handle three audio channels via an RJ45 Format-A connector. It offers 70V or 100V constant voltage output, delivering 100 watts at +22 dBu with a selectable audio input. The amplifier includes loop-out functionality to connect additional amplifiers or receivers.
Gain adjustment is made via a rear-panel single-turn potentiometer and dual-LED VU meter. The amplifier also features internal VCA control for precise, noise-free level adjustments, with remote control capability through an RJ45 jack for external level control devices.
A built-in audio compressor adds up to 15 dB of headroom while maintaining transparency with automatic attack and release times. The SF-PA100A also includes thermal and short-circuit protection and utilizes a Class D output stage for efficient operation and minimal heat production. The unit operates from an included 48 Vdc external power supply.
Housed in a durable all-metal enclosure, the SF-PA100A is suitable for free-standing, surface-mounted, or rack-mounted installations. Designed for demanding professional A/V systems, this SYSFLEX amplifier is engineered for continuous duty and versatility.
