system
Switchable subsonic and bass boost filters
High pass output for looping signal back into distributed audio
systems
The Dayton Audio SA1000 is a freestanding, high-power subwoofer amplifier
designed for the DIYer, installer, and systems integrator. This unique monaural
audio device delivers the raw power of a pro-sound amp, but with the features
and flexibility of a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. It can be configured for
stacking with other audio components, and includes removable ears for mounting
in standard audio racks (2RU). The SA1000's patented tracking down-converter
power supply ensures headroom for instantaneous power needs and the amp stays
cool, thanks to its high-efficiency design.
A Class-AB amplifier configuration provides the SA1000 with clean and
controlled output. From an application standpoint, the SA1000's low frequency
parametric EQ enables you to boost or cut to custom-tailor the sound to suit the
listening environment. Sophisticated soft clip circuitry provides cleaner
transient peaks while protecting your driver from over-excursion. The amp's
switchable subsonic filter removes subsonic information from the signal, which
tightens the low end response of some subwoofer systems. On-board bass boost
filters enhance LF performance while leaving the parametric EQ function
available to address room modes, like cutting an excessively loud room
resonance. The high-pass outputs provide a user the option to feed the signal
back into their other audio components or a distributed audio system.
Manual, automatic on/off or triggered 12V input modes allow easy
integration into automated systems. The stealthy pop-out knobs on the front
panel make adjustments easy, while minimizing the risk of accidental
disturbance. The SA1000's subdued brushed black aluminum faceplate allows the
amp to blend cosmetically with any type of audio gear. Accommodates RCA
line-level inputs, includes insulated binding posts for the speaker outputs, and
accepts a 12V trigger via a 3.5 mm mini-jack.
