RCF IPS 5.0K - 2 x 2600W at 4-Ohm Power Amplifier with XLR Inputs and Outputs in Black Finish

The RCF IPS 5.0K is a powerhouse 2-channel professional amplifier designed for high-performance audio applications where reliability, efficiency, and exceptional power output are essential. Featuring advanced Class-H amplification technology, the IPS 5.0K delivers up to 2 x 2600 watts at 4 ohms, offering both robust power and efficiency. This amplifier is built to handle demanding sound reinforcement tasks, making it ideal for mobile sound systems, permanent installations, and large-scale professional audio setups. The Class-H design ensures optimal efficiency by modulating the supply voltage to match the required signal swing, which reduces energy dissipation and enhances the amplifier's performance compared to traditional Class AB amplifiers.

The IPS 5.0K provides a wide range of operational flexibility with its ability to switch between stereo, parallel, and bridge modes. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of speaker configurations and applications. The amplifier is equipped with comprehensive protection circuits, ensuring the safety of both the amplifier and the connected sound system. Protections include short circuit, thermal, DC, and Very High Frequency (VHF) safeguards, as well as peak limiting to protect the transducers from damage during high-power outputs.

For optimal operation in diverse conditions, the IPS 5.0K features a forced, temperature-controlled variable-speed cooling system that utilizes high-efficiency heat sinks and double fans. This ensures the amplifier maintains an optimal working temperature, even under extreme environmental conditions or heavy use, preventing overheating and maintaining reliability. Additionally, the amplifier offers excellent audio quality with low distortion and a high signal-to-noise ratio, making it perfect for applications requiring precise audio reproduction and vocal clarity.

The RCF IPS 5.0K is equipped with standard XLR input connectors for balanced line signals, and it offers both speakON and binding post output connectors for robust and reliable speaker connections. The amplifier also includes signal, clip, and fault LED indicators for real-time monitoring, ensuring the operator can immediately identify any issues. The front panel and DIP switch allow for easy configuration, making it simple to adapt to specific installation needs.

Designed with a durable metal chassis and a sleek black finish, the RCF IPS 5.0K is rack-mountable (19", 2U) for easy integration into existing setups. Whether used for live sound, installations, or large audio systems, this amplifier delivers the power, reliability, and performance needed to handle demanding audio applications with ease and precision.
