RDL STPA6 Utility Audio Amplifier

Radio Design Labs' ST-PA6 is a utility power amplifier in the convenient line of STICK-ON products from Radio Design Labs. The durable permanent or detachable bottom adhesive provided with the ST-PA6 permits quick, permanent mounting nearly anywhere, or use it with RDL's racking accessories. The ST-PA6 gives you the advantages of a quality audio power amplifier with the added convenience of STICK-ONs.

The ST-PA6 represents the second-generation in RDLs breakthrough in the traditional power vs. size ratio. Present technology permits features and performance at the most economical cost ever. The ST-PA6 offers 6 Watts of power for a price you would expect to pay for 3 Watts!

The ST-PA6 features two balanced audio inputs...a gain control...and an 8 Ohm output. The output is designed to deliver a clean 6 Watts RMS signal into an 8 Ohm speaker. Each input is a balanced bridge, with the two inputs mixed equally. This is particularly useful for monitoring a stereo line. The output stage features protection against short-circuits and thermal overload. The output protection automatically resets once the condition is removed, making fuse protection unnecessary!

The compact design and low cost of the ST-PA6 allow using it to individually drive each speaker in many installations. Since most applications using low speaker power levels are running music at a background level, speaker inefficiencies tend to produce a thin sound lacking in low frequencies. The traditional approach to correct this, if at all, has been to cut the high frequency response producing an apparent increase in bass. The ST-PA6 now offers actual equalization...permitting the installer to set the low frequency boost, rather than a high-frequency cut. As reproduction quality has improved, listeners have become more sophisticated...and crisp, high-frequency response is expected in a quality sound system. With the ST-PA6, this flexibility is now available for the cost of a typical utility amplifier!
