EcoTou 1500.2

The Ashly EcoTour™ 1500.2 is a two-channel professional Class-D power amplifier designed for touring, live sound reinforcement, and permanent audio installations. Delivering up to 1,500 watts per channel into 2-ohm or 4-ohm loads, it combines high-efficiency amplification, flexible connectivity, selectable gain settings, and integrated protection features in a compact 2U rackmount chassis.

From The Manufacturer:

The Ashly EcoTour™ series is designed to deliver efficient, reliable amplification for professional audio environments. Its Class-D architecture and Dynamic Power Factor Correction (DPFC) support efficient power delivery, while the SailFlow cooling design helps manage heat during demanding operation.

The EcoTour 1500.2 provides two amplifier channels, supports low-impedance loudspeakers and compatible constant-voltage systems, and includes selectable input gain, switchable high-pass filters, and clip limiters. Its rackmount construction makes it suitable for touring systems and permanent sound installations.
