4 channel amplifier Omnes Audio 2.1       - not available

Technical data:
output: 4x 10.6/15 W into 4 Ohm
2 for subwoofer channels up to 80 Hz
The amplifier kit consists of:
- circuit board
- front and rear plate for mounting into a wooden case.
- knobs for the controls.
The amplifier has the following characteristics:
  • 4 channels with 10.6 / 15 W each into 4 Ohm
  • thereof 2 subwoofer channels with 80 Hz crossover frequency
  • with bass boost at 40 Hz
  • and 2 satellite channels with 100 Hz high pass
  • subsonic filter: 30 Hz (-24 dB)
  • input: stereo jack
  • output: 8 spring terminals for 4 loudspeakers
  • supply voltage 12V, stabilised
  • therefore a separate power supply is required

Rear view, from right to left:
- On/Off switch (also with standby)
- jack for 12V power supply
- RS 232 plug for connecting a computer
- 4 RCA inputs, looping the stereo signal
    to the subwoofer main amp.
- or 4 banana plugs (from loudspeaker), to be used, if your amp doesn't have a
    pre-amp out.

Digital pre-amp DBC 12 with digital signal processor (DSP)

The DBC 12 is a Digital Bass Control system. It combines crossover, equaliser, delay and level control for lower frequencies. It's the perfect device for adjusting your subwoofer exactly to room conditions, to adjust the bass boost and to adjust the crossover filters to the satellites (12, 24 or 36 dB).

Applications:
- Extension of an existing system where this unit links to a subwoofer amplifier. Or you might still have a stereo or mono amp for your subwoofer standing around, but no crossover. The DBC 12 is perfectly suited for this.

Do you want to integrate subwoofers using top quality main amps or PA amps? – This is the ideal crossover.

the price list

Included is:
- The DSP crossover with digital display (aluminium housing)
- the infrared remote control
- Software for programming the DSP
- serial cable for loading the programme.

You still need:
- a power supply with 12 V DC, 500 mA, stabilised (see below)
- and a standard 9V battery for the remote (see above)
- RCA cable to connect the subwoofer amplifier.

Omnes Audio Power Amp with digital signal processor (DSP)

The following Omnes Audio subwoofer amplifiers are quite similar; they just differ in output, power circuit breaker and transformer.

The amplifier modules have 200 W resp. 400 W output into 4 Ohm.
They are class D amplifiers with >90% efficiency (conventional analogue amps have 3 to 5 times more dissipated power depending on the level).

Distortion is low; the damping factor is high.
The loudspeakers are protected by a microprocessor.
An outstanding feature is the integrated DSP active crossover, allowing an individual adaption to any type of room.

Included are:

  • an infrared remote control
  • the control panel with LC display (2x16 characters)
  • a CD with software for programming the unit
  • a RS-232 cable for connecting a PC
  • a German Manual on CD

The following in/outputs are available:


output to loudspeakers, on the rear of the unit (inside).
high level inputs, if this unit is going to be connected to the output of another amplifier in parallel to your standard speakers.
low level inputs (RCA), if your amp possesses a
- pre-amp out or
- a subwoofer output (only one cable has to be connected)

The modules have the following controls:
adjustable input sensitivity for optimum adaptation
four programmable pre-sets
signal dependent automatic switch-on
standby
signal processing active crossover
adjustable level from +6dB to -20dB
selectable filter types (Bessel / Butterworth) from 12 to 36 dB/octave
high pass filter from 12 Hz to 50 Hz
low pass filter from 40 Hz to 500 Hz
phase inversion 0/180°
delay compensation from 0 to 300cm
three parametric equalisers from -6dB to +6dB

Dimensions:
dimensions: 280x210x70 mm, cut-out: 260x190 mm
display: 166.5x46x19 mm, display cut-out: 120x40 mm

Two versions are available, differing in output only:

Amplifier module with 200/350 Watt into 4 Ohm, description see above:
DPA 200     - not available

Amplifier module with 400 Watt into 4 Ohm, description see above:
DPA 400     - not available
 

Essential accessories for both modules

Since not included, we recommend:

Standard 9V battery for the remote
(any other 9V battery will also do) EUR 4,50

Standard mains cable (mandatory, it doesn't come with the unit)

With 3 pin EU mains plug 1.8m/black EUR 2,00
With 3 pin mains plug 1.8m/black for Switzerland EUR 3,90
With 3 pin mains plug 2.0m/black for Italy EUR 4,90
With 3 pin mains plug 1.8m/grey for USA EUR 4,90
