The PA200 is a compact stereo power amplifier from SMSL, built with substantial output power and near-immeasurable distortion into a remarkably lightweight chassis. The PA200 brings SMSL's more accomplished current engineering to a space-efficient power amplification format.
Key specs that matter
Output power is 2 x 85W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 160W into 4 ohms. Signal-to-noise ratio is 109dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.003% at 100% global feedback. At a remarkably compact 220 x 45.9 x 175mm and just 1.44kg, the PA200 maintains a space-efficient, lightweight power amplifier chassis given its substantial output power, suggesting efficient Class D amplifier technology.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the strong 109dB signal-to-noise figure and low 0.003% distortion figure, packed into this remarkably compact, lightweight chassis representing exceptional value.
Pairing
The substantial 160W-into-4-ohms output handles demanding loudspeaker loads with confidence.
Alternatives
SMSL's own PA400 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
