Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, 5-way binding post and Speakon connector outputs.

Plenty of Power
The convenient two rackspace design may be compact, but there's plenty of power available, with 2 x 300 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 450 watts at 4 ohms over the full frequency spectrum, from 10 Hz to 55 kHz.

For mono applications, a bridged mode links both channels of the amplifiers, thus providing even more power, with a power rating of 900 watts for the SX1200 into an 8 ohm load.

Impressive audio specifications such as 0.04% THD, dynamic range of 105 dB, crosstalk of 80 dB, and frequency response of 10 Hz to 55 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound quality.

Input/Output Options
Input connections are made via combination connectors allowing for both balanced XLR and balanced 1/4-inch TRS connections.

For the outputs, the SX1200 amplifier provides standard 5-way binding posts, as well as Speakon connectors.

Simple, Intuitive Control
Front panel controls and displays include a power switch with LED indicator, as well as independent left and right channel input level controls. To help you set the correctoperating levels, the SX amplifiers include front panel Signal, Peak and Protection LED indicators.

Comprehensive Protection
Like all serious power amplifiers, the SX1200's internal electronics are based around a serious powercore, with oversized toroidal transformer and large extruded heatsinks. To keep the SX amplifiers running cool, their designs employ twin internal wind tunnels with forced-air cooling via two temperature-sensitive,variable speed fans, which greatly reduce the chance of thermal and overheating problems. Multi-stage protection for power-up, over-heating, over-current, short circuit, low output impedance and DC voltage, assures high reliability under the most demanding situations.

Road-Ready
The SX1200 is road tough with its all steel chassis, 19-inch rackmount design and convenient carry handles, so it's ready for a life of travel, or to make it's home in a fixed installation.
