Sonance Sonamp ASAP3D SE power amplifier
Posted September 22nd, 2008 by Alex IonI can come up with a couple of reasons why I would need a power amplifier and the best of all is my crazy neighbor that lives at the ground floor. I really like to play it out loud for a couple of minutes and see her driving insane, therefore I need something really powerful. How about SONAMP ASAP3D SE from Sonance?
Engineered to be a custom installer’s dream, the recently announced versatile amplifier uses IcePower® digital-amplifier technology to bring high efficiency and remarkable performance.
All wrapped up in a 1U high by ½-rack the new ASAP3DSE manages to boast 25W RMS per channel @ 8 ohms and 50W RMS per channel @ 4 ohms and has a frequency response of 20Hz – 20kHz ±2dB. Causing very little heat generation and thanks to its small size (it only weighs 7.0 lbs or about 3.2kg) this power amplifier can be placed anywhere in the room, even on the wall behind a flat-screen TV.
I’m pretty sure those passionate about sound and stuff like that will be really interested to know more so here it is:
- Total Harmonic Distortion
0.10% (1kHz, 8 ohms);
0.25% (1kHz, 4 ohms) - Signal to Noise Ration
- -94dB (w/22kHz filter, A-WTD); -88dB (with AC-sensing trigger)
- Input Sensitivity
0.9V for 25W RMS output
0.7V w/BBE ON (+3dB)
0.5V w/BBE ON (+6dB) - Input Impedance
13k ohms - Maximum Source Voltage Input
2.3VAC RMS - Voltage
1.3VAC RMS w/ BBE ON - Power Consumption
200 Watts - Heat Output
187 BTU/hr - AC Fuse
2A (T2AL ~ 250V)
Just from the specs, everything looks amazing and I’m pretty sure the $399 you’d have to pay for ASAP3D SE are really worth it. Are you an audio geek? What do you think?
