Networkable 2-Channel 600-Watt Power Amplifier

Ideal Use Cases

The AtlasIED DPA602 is ideal for 70.7V distributed audio installations requiring robust, network-manageable amplification. It offers two channels of 300 watts each, making it perfect for venues where consistent output is needed across both channels. The integrated DSP and network control ensure that amplifier settings and operating status can be managed efficiently, making it a smart choice for system integrators working with complex audio setups. Its compact 1RU design is advantageous for spaces with limited rack availability, ensuring both space optimization and high performance.

Why Choose This Model

The DPA602 stands out with its dedicated two-channel output, delivering the full 600 watts without dividing power across multiple channels. This model employs a Class AB switching hybrid BASH topology, which, combined with a balanced 750mV input sensitivity and 40k input impedance, provides precise control over audio quality and compatibility with various source equipment. These specifications make it a reliable choice for audio professionals seeking a powerful and adaptable amplifier that meets specific system requirements.

Installation and Integration

Designed for ease of installation, the DPA602 fits a standard 1RU rack space, measuring 19 inches wide, 1.72 inches high, and 14.5 inches deep (483 x 45 x 368mm), and weighs 13 lbs (5.92kg). It supports universal voltage compatibility with automatic switchover between 110V–120V and 220V–240V at 50/60Hz, consuming just 38W when idle. The amplifier’s maximum input signal ratings of +14dBu for inputs 1–4 and +7dBu for inputs 5–8 with Dante provide flexibility in signal routing and amplification planning, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources and configurations.

Performance Highlights

The DPA602 delivers impressive performance, with a frequency response of 3dB from 20Hz to 20kHz when DSP filters are set to flat. It maintains a total harmonic distortion of 1% at rated output and a signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB below rated output, A-weighted. Crosstalk is minimized at 73dB at 1kHz, ensuring clear and distortion-free audio delivery. These performance metrics, along with its 20Hz refresh rate, make the DPA602 a reliable choice for demanding audio environments.

What Makes It Different

The AtlasIED DPA602 distinguishes itself with its combination of high-output 70.7V amplification, integrated DSP, and comprehensive network control, all housed in a sleek 1RU chassis. Unlike many amplifiers that merely list output power, the DPA602 provides detailed specifications on input sensitivity, noise levels, distortion, and crosstalk, allowing for more precise system integration and planning. This level of detail, particularly the differentiated maximum input signals for Dante and non-Dante inputs, sets it apart for installations requiring detailed signal management.

Final Assessment

For installations demanding dual 300-watt channels at 70.7V with network management and DSP, the AtlasIED DPA602 is an exceptional solution. Its broad frequency response, balanced inputs, universal voltage adaptability, and compact design make it suitable for various professional applications. Supported by a 36-month warranty, the DPA602 offers a comprehensive and well-documented amplification solution that meets both performance and installation needs, making it a valuable asset for audio professionals.
