SLA-1

Studio Linear Amplifier

Offering a superb level of sound quality, the SLA-1's clean and powerful circuitry combined
with a straightforward user interface quickly and easily delivers the power you need for
professional and project studio sound amplification. The SLA-1 has been designed for studio
and even live applications, and has been engineered to provide excellent sound with ultra­low noise and distortion.

FEATURES:

TOROIDAL

TRANSFORMER

100 WATTS/

CHANNEL

@ 8 OHMS

The SLA-1 has a long list of impressive features, including a Toroidal Transformer, XLR & ¼"
Inputs, Ground Lift Switch, SmartFan Silent Cooling Design, Power, Clip, Signal and Protect
LED's, One IU Spacing and a frequency response of 10 Hz to 40 kHz.

The SLA-1 is rated at 100 watts rms/channel @ 8 ohms (130 watts rms/channel @ 4 ohms),
hum and noise >100dB, input impedance of 22k ohm unbalanced (44k ohm balanced). It
has an input sensitivity of 1V for rated power into 8 ohms, SmartFan Silent Cooling System and
custom heat radiating fins. The SLA-1 is a powerful, compact amplifier that occupies 1 IU unit
and weighs 6kg. Its rugged, steel chassis is designed for durable and reliable use.

The SLA-1 is perfect for pro, project and home studios, and is a perfect compliment to the
new ART SLM-1 Studio Linear Monitors. The two together are a fantastic combination of both
audio quality and of value!
