Sonamp® 875D SE Application Notes

875D SE Features/Benefits

Feature: The 875D SE is a hybrid digital/analog design that utilizes Class T digital amplification and analog power supplies.

Benefit:

•High efficiency. At full output the 875D SE converts 93% of the input electricity into output power; only 7% becomes heat. Conventional amplifiers only turn about 65% of the input electricity into output power — nearly 35% becomes heat, which causes them to run hot and requires large amounts of area for heat sinks.

•Reduced AC power usage and a reduced carbon footprint.

Feature: The 875D SE packs the punch of a large conventional (Class A/B) amplifier into a very compact package.

Benefit:

•The 875D SE occupies only 2U of rack space, while a conventional amp with the same power output would occupy at least 5U of rack space

Feature: Class T digital amplification circuitry.

Benefit:

•Great sound quality, featuring very low distortion, excellent control over the bass region and a clear and “sweet” midrange quality that some compare with audiophile tube amplifiers.

•After audio evaluations the 875D SE will sell itself to critical installers and careful listeners every time.

•This is one amp you can confidently place in the hands of installers who are audiophiles, and who have customers who are audiophiles (or simply care about good sound).
