Snell

AMC Series

Thunderous

Deep, accurate, impactful bass does more to “sell” the realism of music and movies than any other part of the spectrum. With Snell’s SPA 200 amplifier and one of its companion in-wall subwoofers, Snell has found a way to achieve bass realism...invisibly.

To make in-wall subs work.... I mean really work, the effects

of the in-wall cavity must be eliminated. Snell’s two in-wall subs, the AMC Sub10 and AMC Sub88, with the SPA 200, effectively negate the distortion created by in-wall materials and boundaries.￿￿￿￿ With a sophisticated equalization circuit and subsonic filter, the performance of Snell’s In-Wall subs rival the extension and output of big freestanding subwoofers. Additionally, the amplifier has a built-in variable crossover to achieve a seamless blend with the main speakers, while the 24 dB/octave lowpass filter prevents the subwoofer from being localized by the ear, increasing placement flexibility. Lastly, a crossover bypass is provided when using outboard bass management systems.

The SPA 200 is conveniently housed in a compact 2 space x 19-inch standard EIA rack. Auto on/off and 12 volt amplifier triggers are provided to make the amp easily integratible to any two-channel, multichannel or distributed music system. Whether driving a single subwoofer for Low Frequency Effects or when using multiple main or effects woofers, the SPA 200 will impress.
