Ashdown AL1500D Stereo Power Amplifier with DSP

Stereo Power Amplifier with DSP
The Ashdown Labs AL-1500D 750 + 750 Watts RMS stereo power amplifier represents a revolution in bass amplification. Using the AL-ADRP1 preamp as a front end, powerful on-board DSP in the power amp enables the player to set up and store critical parameters including crossover frequency and type, and independent EQ, compression and time alignment settings for the high and low frequency components of the sound, to create a bi-amplified system of unparalleled sophistication and versatility.

System configuration is easy using intuitive Windows/Mac remote control software running on a laptop connected to the AL-1500D via a rear panel RS232 connector. Settings can be stored in 32 user memory locations and recalled from the front panel for different venues, or even different songs.

Audio quality is ensured by elegant circuit design, massive toroidal transformers and high quality output devices.
