RCF IPS 1.5K - 2 x 750W at 4-Ohm Power Amplifier with XLR Inputs and Outputs in Black Finish

The RCF IPS 1.5K is a professional-grade 2-channel power amplifier that combines cutting-edge Class-H technology with exceptional reliability, delivering up to 2 x 750 watts at 4 Ohms. This high-performance amplifier is designed for demanding mobile sound systems and permanent installations, offering unmatched power, efficiency, and audio fidelity. The IPS 1.5K operates with a sophisticated Class-H topology that modulates the supply voltage to the amplifier output devices, ensuring optimized efficiency by only providing as much power as needed. This reduces energy dissipation and makes it particularly well-suited for high-power applications where reliability and performance are critical.

The IPS 1.5K is engineered to provide a clean, low-distortion audio output with minimal total harmonic distortion, achieving perfect vocal intelligibility and flawless sound reproduction. It features independent gain control for each channel, as well as signal, clip, and fault indicators to give operators full visibility of the amplifier's performance. With XLR stereo inputs and outputs, the IPS 1.5K offers flexibility in connecting with a wide range of audio sources and other equipment. The amplifier also supports multiple operating modes, including stereo, parallel, and bridge modes, allowing for versatile system configurations to meet various installation needs.

For robust and secure connections, the IPS 1.5K includes industry-standard speakON and binding post output connectors, ensuring that it can handle the power demands of professional speakers while maintaining a stable connection. The amplifier is equipped with an extensive protection circuit, including short circuit, thermal, DC, and VHF (Very High Frequency) protection, ensuring that both the amplifier and connected transducers are safeguarded against damage from electrical issues or non-musical signals.

Designed to handle extreme conditions, the IPS 1.5K utilizes a temperature-controlled, continuous variable speed double-fan cooling system that directs airflow from front to back, along with high-efficiency heat sinks to keep the amplifier at optimal operating temperature. The built-in limiter on each channel helps prevent distortion and clipping at high output levels, ensuring smooth, distortion-free sound at any volume level.

The RCF IPS 1.5K amplifier is housed in a durable, black, metal chassis with a 19-inch, 2U rack-mountable design, making it easy to integrate into professional setups. Whether used in live sound reinforcement, installation projects, or studio environments, this amplifier delivers reliable performance, outstanding sound quality, and comprehensive protection for your entire audio system.
