AudioControl Architect P250 EQ

2-Channel High-Current Amplifier with EQ

2 channels
180 W per channel into 8 Ohms
250 W output into 4/2 Ohms
500 W bridged into 8/4 Ohms
Input Prioritization & Signal Sense Switching
Selectable EQ presets
The Architect Model P250 EQ is a high-power, 2-channel amplifier engineered with an emphasis on sound quality to deliver clarity and tonally balanced sound into any loudspeaker.

At only one rack space high, the P250 EQ delivers solid performance found in much larger solutions. Constructed with a high-current overbuilt power supply, an advanced filter stage, and fast-switching, impedance-matching output transistors, the P250EQ delivers 250 watts per channel into 4/2-ohm loads and 180 watts per channel into 8 ohms. The P250 EQ reproduces nuanced detail from any style of music with the power to control even the hardest to drive loudspeakers effortlessly.
