No longer available at zZounds
Hear your home stereo roar with the 2800-watt Cerwin-Vega CXA-10. Its high signal-to-noise ratio lets you crank up the volume with less hiss and hum.
Overview
The Cerwin-Vega CXA-10 Power Amplifier is for those that want to sound like a pro. These home-use version of the renowned Cerwin-Vega Professional series amplifiers offer input/output connections and a form factor suited for performing at home versus on stage.
These workhorses have the muscle to accommodate the most demanding audio challenges. With a power rating of 2800 watts, exceptional THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and Signal-to-Noise ratings, the CV Series CXA-10 power amp is the right choice for a wide range of music and home theater applications.
To ensure reliable operation the CXA amps include a highly efficient variable speed tunnel cooling system that dynamically follows amplifier output levels. When unneeded, the fans shut down entirely thereby reducing ambient noise. The 21-position detent level control knobs help you set and maintain volume settings. Signal and clip indicators provide a convenient way to monitor the amplifier's status. Proven professionally -- the CXA-Series Amps are right for the job -- even when the "job" is entertaining friends and family.
