NCAS500MP

Product information "NCAS500MP"

The NCAS500MP amplifier power brick boasts a groundbreaking design featuring two distinct amplification channels, a full-bridge high-power channel and a half-bridge medium-power channel. This dual-channel architecture is tailored to cater to different audio requirements, providing a comprehensive solution for active loudspeaker designs.

The full-bridge 400W high-power channel is engineered for robust performance, delivering an impressive power output suitable for driving the low-frequency drivers with high efficiency. This channel excels in handling demanding audio signals, ensuring clarity and precision in reproducing the full spectrum of sound. It is the powerhouse of the module, where high output and dynamic range are paramount.

Complementing the high-power channel, the half-bridge 100W medium-power channel is designed for versatility. It offers a balanced mix of power and efficiency, making it well-suited for driving secondary drivers, such as tweeters or full-range drivers. This channel is optimized to handle mid-level power requirements, providing a nuanced and controlled audio response for a well-balanced sound profile.

Together, these dual channels create a synergy that elevates the overall audio performance of the NCAS500MP. The full-bridge high-power channel tackles the heavy lifting, while the half-bridge medium-power channel handles the subtleties, resulting in a harmonious blend of power and precision. This dynamic amplification duo ensures that the NCAS500MP is a versatile solution for a wide range of active speaker applications, from studio monitors to high-quality PA loudspeakers.

The main SMPS that powers the amplifier is a compact, high-power, highly efficient, regulated half-bridge converter with synchronous rectification on the main output rails. This advanced technology is specifically tailored for Class-D audio amplifiers, delivering unparalleled performance and efficiency. The automatic input voltage doubler enhances universal mains input compatibility, making it convenient for use in various environments. For added versatility, the NCAS500MP is equipped with a low-power standby SMPS, meeting the 2013 ERP Lot 6 0.5W requirements. This feature ensures energy efficiency during idle periods, aligning with modern eco-conscious standards without compromising on performance.

The NCAS500MP compact power brick form factor makes it easily applicable in a range of active speaker designs. Whether you’re building a compact studio monitor or powerful PA loudspeaker, the NCAS500MP adapts effortlessly to your design needs, providing a seamless integration of power and precision in one innovative module.
