PCS5000

Two-channel, 3800W @ 4Ω Analog Power Amplifier

Power and Reliability.

The PCS Series is a complete line of high-performance amplifiers that offers a variety of different power sizes & types, for a variety of applications, including but not limited to permanent installs, cinema, and tour sound. The PCS series easily handles 2-ohm loads and function perfectly in Stereo, Bridged, and Parallel loads. All PCS series amps are protected against shorted, open or mismatched loads; overloaded power supplies, excessive heat; Subsonic and Ultra Sonic phenomena. They also protect loudspeakers from input/output DC transients and soft starts. Its rugged construction and useful features including an Input sensitivity switch and mode selector have made the PCS series a staple of the Sound Barrier line for decades.
