SPL Performer S800 Power Amplifier
Pairs well with
Experience the unparalleled power and precision of the SPL Performer S800 power amplifier, a masterpiece of audio engineering.
This small completely analogue stereo power amplifier shows everyone that size does not necessarily have anything to do with greatness.
SPL Performer S800 Power Amplifier
With a power amplification of 2 x 285 W (4 Ω) [2 x 185 W (8 Ω)] or 1 x 450 W (8 Ω, Bridge Mode), this amplifier easily controls any loudspeaker. Thanks to VOLTAiR technology, it is fast, precise and highly efficient with outstanding sound.
Better Safe than Sorry
The Performer s800 has a protection circuit against DC voltage and against overheating. If direct current (DC) is detected, the output stage switches off automatically and the Protect LED lights up red.
To protect the s800 against the unlikely event of overheating, a temperature sensor at the heatsinks continuously monitors the temperature of the device. The TEMP LED lights up yellow when the Performer s800 is getting too hot.
As a result of this the output stage is switched off and the fans run on high-speed until the device has cooled down.
Trim to fit
With reference to the Performer s800, “fit” means adapted.
You can adapt the input sensitivity in 0.5 dB steps from 0 dB to -5.5 dB. In contrast to a panorama potentiometer in a preamplifier, this trim switch is the more audiophile solution.
In addition, the difference in loudness of loudspeakers can be elegantly compensated in bi-amping mode.
Power to the Speakers
The loudspeaker binding posts can accommodate banana plugs as well as a stranded wire with a diameter of up to 4 mm. Thus, any common type of speaker cable and in bi-wiring mode even both connection types can be used together. However, we do not recommend connecting a speaker with less than 4 ohms impedance.
Bridge
You can turn the two power amplifier channels into one power amplifier by connecting only the two plus pole terminals to the loudspeaker. This allows 450 W into 8 Ohm in mono operation mode.
The Performer s800 features individual amplification stages for voltage and power amplification, which ensures a perfect operating of the class-AB amplifier circuit. Thanks to each stage’s own negative feedback path, it is ruled out that feedbacks from the loudspeaker are interacting with the input stage – this way the SPL VOLTAiR Technology can play out its full performance.
