Audica Professional Launches MICROplus 4-Channel Power Amplifier at PLASA 08

Audica Professional again exhibited at PLASA with its UK distributor, CUK Audio. In addition to showing the complete range of MICROseries electronics and loudspeakers for background music, AV and audio communication applications, the company launched the new MICROplus 4-channel power amplifier, previewed at ProLight+Sound.

The Audica Professional MICROplus is an ultra-compact unit with the same size and style of head-unit mounting as the company’s MICROzone pre/amp/controller, which it is designed to partner. It delivers 4 x 80W into 4 Ohm per channel, 2 x 80W into 4 Ohm plus 1 x 160W bridged into 8 Ohm or 2 x 160W into 8 Ohm with twin channels bridged.  Features include 4-channel limiting and protection and individual channel bar indicators showing output level, clip and fault. The unit has rear-mount level control, phono in/out and screw terminal loudspeaker outputs for each channel. Being a straight gain amplifier, the MICROplus is designed to be used in conjunction with the MICROzone, which provides pre-amp functions and the equalization for the MICROseries loudspeakers.

“MICROplus is an important addition to the MICROseries”, commented Audica Professional Sales Director, Derek West. “When we first launched MICROseries we really didn’t appreciate the size of some installations it would be chosen for, based on audio quality and design, and our only limitation has been amplifier power. Used singly or in multiples, MICROplus resolves this cost effectively and provides a system capable of handling almost any size of applicable installation. With a MICROzone and a MICROplus in our optional 2U rack panel we have pre-amp, controller and a serious and flexible 370W (2 x 25W plus 4 x 80W) amplifier package, with the ability to constantly expand the system by up to 8 x 80W for each additional 2U of rack space”.

West continued, “We chose a straight gain design for the MICROplus as we already have pre-amp and EQ functions handled by the MICROzone for complete Audica sound systems, but this also gives the advantage that MICROplus can be used for any audio system that needs a high quality, ultra-compact 4-channel power amplifier”.
