Ashly CA1.04 4-Channel Power Amplifier, 1000W at 4 Ohms, 70V Capable

Ashly’s CA1.04, proprietary D-MAX technology brings together smart, cutting-edge amplifier design, a brand-new ultra-fast switching power supply with silicon dioxide semiconductors and diodes, and intelligent power management to deliver ultimate efficiency. You can operate two of CA 1.54s (6,000W total each) on a single 20-amp service! That’s higher efficiency than any other currently available amp we’ve tested! As this chart shows, Two of our leading competitor’s amps exceeds 20 amps…while providing LESS power to speakers than our CA-1.54!
And along with increased efficiency, DPFC allows LEEDs qualification.

Power amplifiers need cooling. In most amps, heat-reducing air flow takes a convoluted path in and around internal components. Front to back, back-to-front-side-to-side…those nice perforated grilles look simple…until you look inside the amp and see the helter-skelter air flow (see drawing below left)

We didn’t want cooling air to just wander around inside the CA chassis, so we came up with our unique SailFlow™ architecture (right drawing below). It directs internal airflow strictly over the areas that generate the most heat, rather than arbitrarily over the whole amp. This keeps the already highly efficient CA Series even cooler and assures reliable, stable operation, even under heavy loads.

Stable operation at 0.2 ohms (0.2Ω) No, that’s not a misprint.

For performance spaces, the CA Series can push hard and keep on pushing. Play it loud? No problem. Big subs? Bring ‘em on! CA can take it down to 2 Ohms without missing a beat (and without a drop- off in power). Run up to SIXTEEN 8-ohm loudspeakers from a single 4-channel CA amplifier.In commercial installations CA can deliver 70V and 100V power with no reconfiguration required. And choice of both XLR and Euroblock connectivity make the CA at home just about anywhere.
