SoundImpress ICE700-4CH Quad Amplifier 700WPC | Powered by ICEpower

Small and powerfull

This SoundImpress ICE1200-4CH is a fully integrated, intelligent amplifier, designed for a wide range of audio applications, ranging from public address systems to ultra highfidelity replay systems for studio and home use. The SoundImpress brand stands for outstanding quality, timeless designs, and Dutch craftsmanship. This amplifier is built to last as it is extensively tested and manually assembled to ensure every last detail is checked.
As sound sources have evolved from LP's to CD's to streaming audio, a high quality power amplifier remains a key ingredient to any good Hi-Fi stereo setup. No matter whether you need an amplifier for your small bookshelf speakers, subwoofer or tower speakers, this amplifier with ICEpower technology inside creates a fantastic high quality result.
All SoundImpress amplifiers are hand assembled in the Netherlands. The custom milled aluminum enclosure, which houses two ICEpower 1200AS2 amplifier modules, is the best thermal material for audio devices. The in- and output connections are provided through high-quality binding posts. It can operate from both 110 and 230 VAC mains voltage due to its universal mains input compatibility featuring an automatic input voltage doubler.

This amplifier can deliver all its power from as low as 2.7 ohm impedance combined with low idle loss, very low distortion and noise levels. Chief distinguishing features are flat frequency response irrespective of load impedance, nearly frequency independent distortion behaviour and very low radiated and conducted EMI. This results in performances such as the max output power of 700 Wrms at 4 ohm per channel, a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 123 dB and astonishing distorting level of 0.005%.
An amplifier is only as good as the power supply it contains. In this SoundImpress amplifier, the power supply and amplifier are located on one board. The power supply uses a universal mains ErP and contains the label Energy Star. All proving comprehensive protection and monitoring functions, ideal for powering Class D audio amplifiers.

START - Before turning on your new amplifier, first make all connections. Ensure that the volume on your pre-amplifier or playback device is set to a minimum. CONNECTION - The ICE1200-4CH has four sets of speaker connections. Connect the speaker terminals marked "+" and "-" to the corresponding "+" and "-" terminals of your designated speaker. Repeat the same for the other speaker terminals and corresponding speaker. This amplifier will work with both balanced and unbalanced inputs. For single-ended sources you can use a RCA to XLR cable or converter plug. The cable or converter should short signal ground (XLR pin 1) with negative signal input (XLR pin 3). PLAY - Turn on the amplifier. Slowly increase the volume while playing some music. ENJOY!
