Designed by the renowned Peter Madnick, known for his work with Audio Alchemy and Constellation Audio, this amplifier features a sophisticated design that combines a Class A circuit topology built with discrete FETs and a linear power supply utilizing a high-performance toroidal transformer. This combination ensures that the ELAC DPA-2 delivers a pure, uncolored sound that preserves every delicate detail and nuance of your favorite recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Alchemy DPA-2 is built for versatility, featuring a high-efficiency Class D output stage paired with a switching power supply. This design delivers impressive power while maintaining cool-running efficiency, even under heavy loads. Whether you need a stereo powerhouse or a dedicated monoblock, this unit is easily configurable. It produces 325 watts per channel in stereo mode or can be bridged to deliver a massive 650 watts in monaural mode, providing enough headroom to drive the most demanding, power-hungry high-end loudspeakers on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis amplifier is fully balanced from input to output, ensuring maximum signal integrity. It includes a user-selectable high\/low gain setting, allowing you to perfectly match the amplifier with any preamplifier in your audio chain. The internal architecture features ultra-low-noise DC voltage regulators and a high-efficiency switching power supply dedicated to the PWM output stage. You can easily monitor your output power in real-time using the integrated front-panel LCD information screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnectivity is robust, offering both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs for maximum compatibility. Output connections are handled by two pairs of premium 5-way binding posts. Additionally, the unit includes a 12-volt trigger input and pass-through for seamless integration into a modern smart home audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium, powerful stereo\/mono power amplifier delivering up to 650 watts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable high\/low gain settings to ensure perfect impedance matching with any preamplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully discrete FET input stage featuring a DC servo-controlled output stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced signal path from input to output for reduced noise and distortion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low-noise DC voltage regulators for a clean, stable signal floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality toroidal transformer and linear power supply dedicated to the input stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-efficiency, low-noise switching power supply for the Class D PWM output stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for real-time output power monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 V trigger input and pass-through for seamless power management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 325W per channel (Stereo) \/ 650W (Mono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5Hz-20kHz (+\/- 0.2dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD+N):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.003% (1 Watt into 8 ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unbalanced RCA, Balanced XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-way binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (HxWxD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.00 x 17.50 x 15.00 inches (including jacks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.00 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELAC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42892147425369,"sku":"AS-DPA2-BK","price":1749.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1532\/8501\/files\/open-uri20251203-860668-1m5ddmc.jpg?v=1773133843","url":"https:\/\/www.echoandoptics.com\/products\/elac-alchemy-dpa2-power-amplifier","provider":"Echo and Optics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
