UK - Now shipping from CIE-Group, the new Inter-M DSA100DV is a compact, low impedance stereo amplifier built around ultra-efficient Class-D amplification circuitry. Delivering 2 x 100W channels of power into four ohms, the DSA100DV's high output belies its compact desktop / half-rack 1U size.

With the combination of Class-D amplification and Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), the DSA100DV is a highly efficient speaker driving solution, which ensures reduced power consumption and low heat dissipation over more traditional alternatives.

The DSA100DV can also be used in conjunction with the Inter-M OPT100D, a matching half-rack size, two-channel transformer unit, built to deliver 100V line output.

"The great benefit of Class-D amplifier technology is the efficiency compared to traditional analogue counterparts," explains Chris Edwards, marketing director at CIE-Group.
