Cloud Introduces the VTX Series of Multi Channel Amplifiers

Cloud Electronics, the UK-based manufacturer of high-quality commercial audio systems, has announced the introduction of the VTX Series of high-power multi-channel amplifiers. The range features three power level variants: VTX4120 offers 4x120w, VTX4240, and VTX4400 offer 4x240w and 4x400w respectively, all into 4 ohms.

Simple and reliable installations can be achieved with these 2U rack-mounting amplifiers, benefiting from studio quality VCA input modules for remote level control (RL-1) as standard and featuring a switched high-pass filter (18dB/oct below 65Hz) for each channel as well as extensive protection against short-circuit and reactive loads, clipping, DC and overheating.

The range achieves an Industry Best-in-Class Crosstalk Performance of >90dB making it noise-free across all channels at any volume. All models are configurable for four-channel, dual stereo or mono use, and include balanced line level inputs with gain trim.

The VTX range is available with an optional web monitoring card (VTX-WM1) which is retrofittable on all models. It allows the amplifier's performance and settings (internal temperature, signal level, PSU status, protection circuitry, and remote volume levels) to be monitored at a remote location using any computer, PDA or Smartphone via its normal Internet browser application -- so no dedicated software is necessary. As well as checking the integrity of the amplifier, the VTX-WM1 generates a test signal for the load impedance test, at one or more user-definable frequencies.

Also available as options are: the RL-1 remote music level controller, and EQ cards for both Bose and Amina loudspeakers.

The products are shipping now with Cloud's five year warranty.
