Description
Outstanding Performance for Audiophile Demands
The PA240 was designed as a high-performance power amplifier to drive loudspeaker systems with maximum control and without compromise. It serves to reproduce music in its original detail and clarity and forms the powerful heart of modern Hi-Fi installations.
Efficient Class G Amplification
At the heart of the amplifier is Class G technology. This enables exceptional efficiency and offers up to 50 W of power in pure Class A operation. This ensures particularly clean sound at normal volumes, while providing massive power reserves for dynamic peaks when needed.
High-Quality Construction and Components
For an unsurpassed level of sound quality, Arcam relies on first-class components. A toroidal transformer forms the stable power base, while the acoustically damped chassis minimizes vibrations. Parallel transistor output stages help to reduce distortion values to an absolute minimum.
Flexible Application Possibilities
The PA240 adapts flexibly to various scenarios. It can be operated in classic stereo mode, in dual-mono operation, or for maximum power delivery in bridged mode. With switchable RCA or balanced XLR inputs, as well as control options via Ethernet and RS232, it can be seamlessly integrated into complex systems.

FAQ
What do the different LED blink signals mean?
The
LED on the front panel indicates malfunctions: White blinking indicates
excessive internal temperature (allow the device to cool down). Red blinking
signals a short circuit in the speaker cables. Orange blinking indicates
a detected DC offset. In all cases, the device automatically shuts down for protection.
What connectivity options does the device offer?
The
amplifier features switchable inputs between RCA and
balanced XLR. It also has connections for Ethernet and an
RS232 interface for control.
How long is the warranty for the PA240?
Upon purchase,
you are entitled to free repair within the first five years
after purchase (subject to
warranty conditions).
