CAD Audio 300W x 2-Channel Power Amplifier (PX3002-U)

Product Description

CAD 300W x 2-Channel Power Amplifier

The Astatic PX3002 is a professional 2 channel Class D power amplifier designed for commercial installed audio, portable sound systems, houses of worship, education, and corporate AV applications. Housed in an ultra compact 1U, 19 inch rackmount chassis, the PX3002 delivers high output power with excellent efficiency, making it ideal for applications where rack space, heat management, and long term reliability are critical. A lightweight switch mode power supply with soft start minimizes inrush current while ensuring consistent performance across demanding duty cycles.

Engineered for flexibility, the PX3002 supports stereo, mono (parallel), and bridge modes, allowing system designers to adapt the amplifier to a wide variety of speaker configurations. Integrated peak limiters, a switchable 75 Hz low cut filter, and selectable input sensitivity ensure clean, controlled output while protecting connected loudspeakers. Comprehensive protection circuits—including DC fault, thermal, overload, and short circuit protection—make the PX3002 a dependable solution for permanently installed and mission critical audio systems.
