The latest additions to the industry-proven US-Series are two professional 3U heavy-duty power amplifiers for the most challenging applications. The US-5000 and US-6000 are built on a rugged, heavy gauge 3U steel chassis with a sturdy aluminum front panel. The amplifiers use advanced circuitry and a well-designed PCB layout to ensure quality sound and enhanced reliability. Large dual aluminum heatsinks and an oversized toroidal transformer, combined with comprehensive protection circuitry and dual large variable speed fans provide worry-free and reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
