Yamaha PX8 2X 800W Power Amplifier
Description
PX series models are driven by a newly developed Class-D amplifier engine that concentrates all the necessary functions into a single custom LSI chip, and uses PLL technology to control transfer characteristics in real time, achieving impressive sound quality and power. This new single-chip architecture offers higher output and improved performance in a more lightweight, yet reliable design. A combination of cutting-edge technology and an exhaustive component selection process make PX Series amplifiers supremely efficient amplifiers with low noise, reliable protection features, and above all, outstanding sound quality.
DSP for audio processing - Input Routing & Output Routing
Amp Mode allows user to configure the system without any difficulty by selecting the input routing and output routing. Totally 15 types of pattern can be selected.
- Input routing (Dual/Parallel/Single/SUM)
- Speaker System Structure FULL+FULLSUB+SUBFULL+SUBBi-AmpBoost FullBoost Sub
Sophisticated Signal Processing
PX series models come with flexible onboard PEQ, crossover, filters, delay, and limiter functions as standard, allowing quick and easy system setup via the LCD display, without the need for any additional outboard gear. All models also feature Yamaha’s intelligent D-CONTOUR multi-band dynamic processing, allowing users to achieve consistent clarity and high-quality sound at any output level by tailoring the frequency response of each connected speaker for either front-of-house or monitor configurations.
