Technomad POWERCHITON1

The PowerChiton series of weatherproof amplifier modules represent a new approach to outdoor audio systems. Combining a high performance, passively cooled amplifier with a IP66 rated, low profile enclosure, the PowerChiton offers the system installer or designer a new solution for the problems of distributed outdoor audio system design. Each module is capable of powering a four ohm load and so can drive a pair of loud-speakers, providing more efficient and economical use of the amplifier portion of a system than can be obtained with a powered loudspeaker. Due to the efficient design of the amplifier module, only a passive radiator is needed for cooling and there are no moving parts in the module, reducing failure points.

There are three sizes of PowerChiton available- 130w, 250w and 500w.

While they were optimized for use with the Technomad Vienna, Noho and Berlin weatherproof loudspeakers, the PowerChiton can be used with any eight or four ohm loudspeaker. The module can be used with standard distributed line level audio but has available expansion options enabling it to work on an ethernet network (accepting any bit-rate MP3 format audio for VOIP or Audio-Over-IP applications), RDLâ„¢ Twisted Pair installation or FM wireless distribution system.

The PowerChitons can be wall-mounted with the included mounting feet. Pole-mount adaptors are also available as well as hardware allowing the modules to be installed on the back of the associated Technomad loudspeakers.

Applications: distributed audio systems, pole-mount audio, themed entertainment, concert delay systems, installed audio where no equipment room is available, networked audio over IP, more.
