Description
The ARC Audio Nighthawk is a wideband two-channel Class-D amplifier designed to complement ARC Audio DSP amplifiers or operate as a stand-alone power amplifier. It can power demanding full-range speakers, midbass drivers, or a bridged subwoofer load.
The amplifier delivers 250 watts × 2 at 4 ohms and as much as 400 watts × 2 at lower stereo impedances. Bridged operation provides 800 watts into a 4-ohm load. Balanced differential inputs, selectable stereo or mono operation, and high-level compatibility support both factory and aftermarket systems.
