Plate amplifiers are designed for use in powered speaker system. There are various kinds of plate amplifier module with different channel, power and function. Currently, AUDIOPEAK has produced three categories active amplifiers: One channel, two channel and three channel.

All plate amplifier with built-in DSP with MUTE, Polarity, Gain, Delay ,Limiter, Mixer, EQ, X-Over function allows the user to set up and modify the signal processing data.

Also integrated USB or RS-485 interface enable DJ or engineer to control the system via PC.

Secondly, you should know your speaker.

1. RMS power of each speaker driver in the speaker.

To choose a suitable amplifier, you should know the power of your speaker and nominal impedance firstly, so that know how much amplifier power will you need.

A massively distorted signal can blow a speaker at lower levels much faster than a clean signal will at high levels. The bottom line is that you want to have an amplifier that can drive the speakers hard enough that you don’t need to be maxing out every part of the signal chain in order to get the music loud enough for the speakers. That’s where you start to run into messy audio and risk damaging your drivers.

You should have about 1.5 times more than nominal rated power for your top speakers and 2 about times more for your subwoofer so that you can handle the peaks associated with more dynamic tracks.

2. Connection of speaker driver

After understanding what power will you need, you may need to know how many channel of the amp do you need?

A. Full range speaker and single subwoofer.

If your speaker is full range speaker or single subwoofer, you could choose one channel plate amplifier.

3. Space of the cabinet box.

If you are a speaker box maker, you could open the hole in the cabinet according to the dimension of the amplifier module.

After choosing the right power plate amplifier, you should check the size of the amp if you want to make your current passive speaker to be active. Some speaker is so compact, they may not have enough space to install a plate amplifier.

Please feel free to send us the specification of your speakers, AUDIOPEAK is glad to give you suggestion for a suitable plate amplifier.
