Description
The ARC Audio ARC 1000.6 is a six-channel, full-range Class-D amplifier for active multi-way systems, high-output front stages, and installations that require several channels of equal power from one chassis. It is rated at 175 watts RMS per channel into either 4- or 2-ohm loads.
Each channel pair can be bridged to provide 350 watts RMS into a 4-ohm load, allowing up to three bridged channels. The standard analog front end does not include onboard crossovers, so system filtering must be handled by an external DSP or the optional ARC Audio IPS8.8 DSP front-end module, sold separately.
Fully balanced differential inputs, plug-in signal and speaker connectors, microprocessor-controlled forced-air cooling, and a cast-aluminum chassis support advanced installations. A pair of full-range analog signal outputs supports system expansion.
