Product no: 9000-0055-9972 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The DAP CA-2300 is a class-D, two-channel amplifier that's able to output 2x 200 Watts of power at 8 Ohms. In bridge mode, however, this compact unit is able to deliver even more power, and you're also free to hook up speakers with a 4 Ohm or 2 Ohm impedance. To keep it and your gear safe, the CA-2300 is equipped with various built-in protection circuits, including ones to safeguard the device against thermal overload, power overload and short circuiting. In addition, it features a clip limiter and soft-start technology and measures only 1U in height, meaning it won't take up much space in a 19" rack.

This is my first DAP product and so far I'm impressed. First impressions are decent build quality and easy operation. I'm using the amp in bridged mode to drive a 4 ohm sub in a home cinema environment. This is also my first class D amp, I had doubts about power delivery but they were unfounded. The sound is a big improvement over the old mosfet class AB that's been replaced. The CA-2300 seems to have good control and produces a tight sound, it has removed the boomy, muddy sound I used to get when the old amp was driving the speaker moderately hard.

Time will tell with reliability but so far I can only recommend this amp.

Ik was op zoek naar een klasse D versterker die in bridge-mode bij 4 Ohm, 400 Watt kan leveren.
Deze versterker voldoet daar aan. De klank is goed. Fijn is ook de soft start, dwz de versterker geeft geen harde plop bij het aanzetten. Ook de 2 Ohm mogelijkheid is een pré.
Veel vermogen bij een laag gewicht voor een redelijke prijs.

Ampli leger pas trop bruyant . Le son est net sans bavure qui convient pour driver des petites enceintes 2 vois pas trop gourmande en watts . Je recommande pour cela . Petit hic au niveau des molettes de gain pas trop pratique a tourner quand on a de gros doights . A part ça DAP a fait du bon travail
