Product catalog summary
Overview
The SA20:2 is a high-performance class D amplifier designed for mid to high power applications. It features two bridgeable channels, each capable of delivering 1950 W at 4 Ω, and is optimized for high audio quality and power efficiency. The amplifier is suitable for medium to large scale APG systems and is compatible with various APG speaker series.

Features
  • High audio quality and power efficiency
  • Protection circuits for reliability
  • Control software for configuration
  • Universal switch mode power supply with Power Factor Correction (PFC)
  • RS485 serial communication port and optional Ethernet/AES3 interface

Specifications
  • Output Power: 2x2400 W at 2 Ω, 2x1950 W at 4 Ω, 2x1000 W at 8 Ω in stereo mode; 1x4800 W at 4 Ω, 1x3900 W at 8 Ω in mono-bridged mode
  • Max Output Voltage/Current: 140 V (peak) / 102 A (peak)
  • Operating Voltage: 100-240 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz
  • Power Factor: >0.95 at >500 W
  • Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz (±0.5 dB)
  • S/N Ratio: >106 dBA
  • Crosstalk Separation: >70 dB at 1 kHz
  • Input Impedance: 10 kΩ balanced
  • THD+N: <0.2% from 1 W to full power
  • Slew Rate: 50 V/µs
  • Damping Factor: >5000 at 8 Ω

Design and Construction
  • Compact design fitting in one rack unit
  • Lightweight at 17.7 lb (8 Kg)
  • Dimensions: 1.8" x 19" x 15" (44.5 x 483 x 380 mm)
  • Front panel LCD screen for configuration
  • SmartCard reader/writer for firmware updates

Applications
The SA20:2 is ideal for live events and shows, both in fixed installations and touring. It is optimized for a 4 to 8 Ω load but can operate under a 2 Ω load with sufficient headroom. The bridged mode allows high-voltage operation into 4 to 16 Ω loads.

Connectivity
  • Audio Signal Input: 2 x balanced Neutrik® XLR female; AES3 via channel 2 XLR
  • Audio Signal Output: 2 x balanced Neutrik® XLR male
  • Loudspeaker Output: 2 x Neutrik® Speakon NL4MD
  • Network Data Port: RS485 with ID selection

Maintenance and Updates
The amplifier supports firmware updates and preset storage via a SmartCard reader/writer. It also includes a network data port for remote control and monitoring.

SA20:2 High performances class D amplifier 2 bridgeable channels 2 x 1950 W in 4 Q Features High audio quality Performance and power efficiency Protection circuits for reliability Control software Applications High quality sound reproduction Mid to high power amplification Medium to large scale APG systems Specifications Universal switch mode power supply with PFC (Power Factor Correction) EIAJ Test Standard, 1 kHz, 1% THD Power efficiency >85% Fixed switch frequency RS485 serial communication port Optional Ethernet/AES3 interface The SA20:2 is a 2 channel fixed switching frequency class D power amplifier. Two bridgeable channels allow all sorts of configurations of cabling depending on speakers and impedance load. Precise gain and sensitivity setting is obtained via internal digital gain control. The SA20:2 delivers high power and sonic quality thanks to a careful design of all its components. The state-of-the-art switch-mode power technology allows high output power with superior efficiency. The SA20:2 has a very high level of reliability thanks to its numerous protections against clipping and high voltages or current. Its functional parameters, mains voltage and current draw, are monitored and saved. The temperature is carefully controlled by variable-speed forced-air cooling. The SA20:2 is lighter than most amplifiers and fits in only one rack unit to ease transport and handling. The device can be configured via its front panel LCD screen, and via PC connexion thanks to its RS485 port. The SA20:2 is a 2-channel amplifier for mid to high power applications. It uses the same internal technology than the SA30:2 and offers compatible performance, but it is less powerful. Its characteristics are high dynamic and power capacities, combined with a sturdy and ergonomic design that perfectly meets the requirements of live events and shows, in fixed installation as well as in touring. Thanks to its performance in terms of power, it naturally suits APG speaker series Micro, Dispersion, Sector and Beam. Although the SA20:2 amplifier is optimized for a 4 to 8 Q load, operation under 2 Q load is possible, provided there is a sufficient headroom. The bridged mode allows high-voltage operation into 4 to 16 Q loads. The SA20:2 must be used according to APG-recommended combinations of speakers and processors.
