CANFORD UTILITY POWER AMPLIFIER balanced inputs rackmount type 20-301

A two-channel design for professional applications, this the updated model offers more power along with balanced and filtered inputs, professional connectors, minimal rack mounting format, and silent, passive cooling.

Although originally intended for use in radio studios, the amplifier will be useful in many other applications where small size without fan-cooling is important; the power output of 40 watts per channel is quite sufficient for many monitoring applications.

The front panel is dominated by a black heat-sink. To the left are two controls for the level which may be removed to prevent ‘adjustment’ by users (see application note below). On the right is the power switch with integrated indicator.

The AC power connection is an IEC inlet on the rear, with an associated fuse. Locking Neutrik connectors are provided for the speakers. An NL4 version is wired for both channels, and NL2 connector is wired for channel two only. As a result, speaker connections can be made by either two separate NL2 connectors or a single NC4. Input connections are electronically balanced using two 3-pin XLR connectors.

Speakers are protected against damaging transients by the amplifier muting the output when the power is turned on and off. The amplifier output is fully protected against overload, short circuit, and thermal damage.
