AMP PWR SHR 2CH 200W 1RU

Ideal Use Cases

The AtlasIED CLA202 is a versatile two-channel, 200W multi-impedance power amplifier designed for both commercial distributed audio systems and low-impedance sound reinforcement applications. With its Power Share technology, it is ideal for installations needing precise power distribution across various audio zones, making it perfect for settings like restaurants, presentation rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, and retail environments. Its compact design allows for effective sound management in spaces requiring separate amplification for two zones.

Why Choose This Model

Choosing the CLA202 means opting for a powerful yet compact solution. Offering 200W of output in a 1 RU half-rack size, this amplifier supports flexible power allocation to zones, irrespective of load, thanks to Power Share technology. It features two inputs and two speaker outputs, along with five GPI ports for enhanced control-system integration using 3.5mm Euro Block connectors. The locking, removable Euro Block speaker terminals ensure secure connections, while allowing easy reconfiguration during system upgrades or maintenance.

Installation and Integration

The CLA202 is engineered for ease of installation, occupying just 1 RU and measuring 1.75 inches high, 8.75 inches wide, and 13.5 inches deep (44 x 222 x 343mm). Weighing only 5.3 pounds (2.36 kg), it’s an ideal choice for space-conscious setups. The amplifier includes two inputs and two removable speaker terminal blocks, alongside five GPI ports on 3.5mm Euro Block connectors. Its cooling system switches from convection at idle to variable fan operation when an audio signal is detected, ensuring efficient thermal management.

Performance Highlights

The CLA202 amplifier stands out with its Class D topology, delivering 200W across two channels with a total harmonic distortion of no more than 0.15% at 1kHz and 1dB below rated power. It boasts a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 93dBA below rated output at 8 ohms, measured with A-weighting. Power Share technology allows for precise power distribution to each zone, enhancing performance in varied impedance environments, making it suitable for both distributed audio and low-impedance reinforcement.

What Makes It Different

What sets the CLA202 apart is its blend of multi-impedance capability and Power Share technology in a two-channel setup. This integration ensures that power levels are appropriately directed to each zone, irrespective of the load. The combination of professional-grade connection hardware and installation-friendly control features, such as locking speaker terminals and GPI ports, enhances its appeal. Its compact half-rack design delivers these features without the bulk of larger amplifiers.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED CLA202 is a powerful choice for those needing a 200W Class D amplifier with multi-impedance flexibility and Power Share technology in commercial audio environments. Its design is well-suited for applications in restaurants, educational settings, meeting spaces, presentation facilities, and retail music systems. With performance metrics including a THD of no more than 0.15% and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 93dBA at 8 ohms, it is a reliable option backed by a 36-month warranty.
