FEATURES
High efficiency
Extremely high amplification efficiency of 80-90%,
resulting in reduction in power consumption by more than
60% compared with Class-AB amplifiers.

Highly durable
Stands up to extended hours of operation. The DA
amplifier has undergone a large number of rigorous tests
to prove its durability. In addition, TOA has been
conducting a “non-stop driving test” of the DA Series.
Amplifier with
world-class lightweight
design*
Installation has become much easier thanks to the
lightweight design.
*TOA comparative data (weight/watt)
Compact design
The DA-250 Series is 1-unit size and the DA-500 Series
is 2-unit size, and they can be efficiently mounted on a
rack, so they require only a small installation space.
Because the amplifiers do not generate much heat, 5
units can be stacked together in a rack.
Conventional Amp.
High reliability
The DA amplifier has a comprehensive protection circuitry
for protection against excessive current flow due to
overload, short circuit, unusual DC voltage output, and
heat sink temperature rise (DA-250D/DH, DA-550F/
500F-HL: over 100°C, DA-250F/FH: over 110°C).
Independent power
supply
Each of the channels has its own power supply. If the
power supply of Channel 1 should fail, this won't affect
the operation of Channels 2-4 (Channel 2 in case of
DA-250D/DH). It is also possible to use one of the
channels as a spare amplifier.
