[. . . ] An efficient Class G power amp topology puts more output power in less space while generating significantly less heat as compared to conventional amplifier designs. Each model occupies just one rack space and allows power control and temperature monitoring via Cresnet using any 2-Series or MediaManager control system. The amplifiers have a master power switch, power indicator, and network indicator on the front panel. A switch on the rear of the unit is provided to bypass the Cresnet controlled power relay, enabling the amplifier to operate as a standalone unit.
