Product Spotlight

RDL’s FP-PA18 18 W Mono Audio Amplifier is a high efficiency 18-Watt power amplifier that drives one 8-ohm speaker or multiple speakers connected to present an 8-ohm load.? It has a balanced line-level input that can be wired unbalanced, plus, a manual input gain control with a range that accommodates standard unbalanced levels up through professional balanced levels.

This ultra-compact amplifier includes an auto adjusting analog Compressor/Limiter that provides superior audio fidelity over conventional class D amplifiers with digital limiting.? The input GAIN setting determines whether the limiter alone is used for clipping suppression, or if the full Compressor/Limiter will be used to substantially increase the average output power beyond that of a standard 18 W amplifier.

The FP-PA18 features an automatic sleep mode timer. ?the absence of an audio signal starts the timer countdown which can be set to 5-, 15- or 25-minutes delay before powering the unit down to stand-by mode.? In stand-by mode the amplifier uses less than 1 Watt of mains power.? Upon detecting an audio signal, the unit restores to full operation in 150 milliseconds.? Pretty impressive when you realize the average blink of an eye takes 300 milliseconds.? The timer also offers a DISABLE setting if you need the amplifier to remain fully on.

This unit provides an active open collector (O/C) terminal that is pulled to ground when an audio signal is present; ideal for controlling or turning other equipment on or off.? The amplifier is powered from an external 24 Vdc power supply, which is included. And like all of RDL's Flat-Pak Series products, the FP?PA18 includes four screw slots on its sides for mounting it to any flat surface.? ?

Wherever an ultra-compact, high quality, highly efficient audio power amplifier is needed to provide reliable and unsurpassed versatility, the FP-PA18 is the ideal choice. Use this amplifier individually or combine it with other RDL products as part of a complete audio/video system.
