PMC has launched the Flying Mole Cascade Series multi-channel
power amplifier system, offering unparalleled power, weight, performance and
space saving advantages, over cost comparable conventional technology.
Awarded the Design and Engineering Showcase Honor for Innovation
at this years International CES, the class-D, 1 bit, rack-housed amp modules,
provide a uniquely compact and powerful, reference quality solution for all
manner of professional monitor, custom installation, and home theatre applications.
Providing a total rated output of up to 2560W, each 19 inch, 3U high rack
can be fitted with up to eight two-channel or single channel amp modules,
providing 2 x 160W/4‡ or 1 x 300W/8‡ respectively. Mixed configurations
of two channel and single channel modules can be accommodated within a single
rack.
The Cascade Series is based around Flying Mole Corporation's
proprietary Bi-Phase Fusion digital amplification technology, which enables
unification of the amplifier and switch-mode power supply circuits, by means
of newly developed patented micro-circuitry. This design provides discrete
power supply to each amplifier module. The resultant significant size and
weight reduction is accompanied by a power conversion efficiency of 85%. The
unit runs far cooler than either conventional analogue or existing digital
amplifier designs; continuous power consumption is just 1/8 of maximum output.
A further ecological bonus is that standby power consumption for each unit
is a mere 6W. Fully fitted with eight amp modules, the Cascade rack weighs
just 16Kg / 31lbs. The Cascade Series amp racks are available in Professional
and Domestic variants, featuring either balanced XLR inputs and SPEAKON connectors,
or unbalanced phono inputs and binding posts.
As exclusive pan-European distributor of Flying Mole products,
PMC has identified a range of professional and consumer applications where
the Cascade series will offer cost and performance advantages over any other
currently available products. Head of Sales Miles Roberts comments, "
These new technology breakthroughs from the Flying Mole Corporation have resulted
in an unbeatable package. We can foresee this becoming a standard for all
future system integration."
