SPL PERFORMER S800 - Power Amplifier

PERFORMER S 800 Stereo Power Amplifier
This small stereo power amplifier shows everyone that size does not necessarily mean greatness. With 570W of power it has all the speakers under control. Thanks to VOLTAiR technology, it is fast, precise and highly efficient with exceptional sound.

Better safe than sorry
The Performer s800 has a DC voltage protection circuit and an output overload limiter.

If direct current (DC) is detected, the output stage automatically switches off and the Protect LED lights up red.

To protect the output from overdriving, an LDR (light dependent resistance) limiter is used. Since it works optically, the audio quality is not affected. The Protect LED lights up yellow when the limiter responds.

As one calls into the forest,
so it echoes out.
This saying inspired us to send the input signal again to drive another power amplifier in bi-amp mode.

Cut to fit
In reference to the S800, "fit" means adapted. And you can adapt the input sensitivity in 0.5dB steps. From 0dB to -5.5dB.

This is a much more audiophile solution for acoustically problematic rooms or speaker configurations than the preamp's panorama pot.

Additionally, the volume difference of the speakers can be elegantly compensated in bi-amp mode.

More less
The speaker binding posts can accommodate banana plugs and stranded wire up to 4mm in diameter.

For dual-wire operation, both connection types can be used together.

It is not possible to connect speakers with an impedance lower than 4 ohms.

Bridge
It is possible to transform the two channels of the power amplifier into a power amplifier by connecting only the two positive pole terminals to the speaker. This allows 450 W into 8 Ohms in mono operation.

AMP CTL
The power amplifier can be switched on and off using the AMP CTL connection between the Performer s800 and a preamplifier such as the Director Mk2 or Crossover.

To do this, connect the 3.5 mm jack sockets with a cable with 3.5 mm mono or stereo jack plugs.
