Cloud CVA8125 Energy Efficient Power Amp with DSP 8x125W LowZ/100V 2U

• Advanced design of 2, 4 and 8-channel Class D power amplifiers
• Standard “out-of-the-box” Cloud amplifier functionality: requires no computer configuration or internal access for basic 100 V-line or 4Ω operation
• Transformerless output stage drives 70/100 V-line and low impedance systems directly
• Nominal power ratings:2 x 500 W (CVA2500), 4 x 250 W (CVA4250), and 8 x 125 W (CVA8125)
• On 4 and 8 channel models (only in 70/100 V-line mode), power sharing allows odd and even channel groups to deliver a maximum of 500 W each
• Thermal protection, overcurrent limiting and DC offset protection
• Switch-on delay for speaker protection during power-up
• Per-channel, front panel LEDs for signal presence, peak level, protection activity and power/thermal limiting status
• Balanced line level inputs
• Per-channel output level controls
• Rear panel input routing switches configure amplifier for manual selection of multichannel, stereo or mono operation
• Rear panel switches select 70/100 V-line or low-impedance output levels
• Per-channel high-pass filter (65 Hz default frequency: adjustable in software) to protect against transformer saturation in 70/100 V-line systems
• Balanced, line level auxiliary outputs with full channel functionality, configurable and controllable via software
• Independent Automatic Power Down on odd and even channel groups; minimises power consumption in absence of an input signal
• <3 W power consumption with all channels quiescent
• RS-232C serial port for remote control of all amplifier functions, including DSP configuration
• Compatible with standard Cloud RL Series remote level control plates (per-channel)
• Remote Power Down control input
• 3-way GPIO port for master mute function or fault reporting
• Variable speed forced-air cooling
• 2U 19” rackmounting units

• Output Power: Total output power 1 kW, all channels
• Output Voltage: 70/100v line (RMS) / 4Ω / 8Ω / 16Ω low-impedance.
• Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +/-0.5 dB
• High Pass Filter:
  • -3 dB @ 65 Hz via rear panel switches
  • -3 dB @ 20 Hz to 200 Hz via DSP configuration
• Distortion: 0.03%THD @1 kHz, 1 dB below rated output
