In fact, the new product is three stereo amplifiers (six channels, three zones) combined in one cabinet with a power of 80 W per channel with the impedance of the speakers connected to them. 8 ohms. Each of these amplifiers can also be bridged, resulting in three 150W outputs to the same 8-ohm speakers.
A pair of input patching buses allows the A680 to be multiplexed into arrays from the required number of amplifiers. It is also convenient that the new product is made in a standard 2U rack-mount AV form factor and can be supplemented with removable mounts.
