Description
The RCF IPS 2.5K is a high-performance two-channel professional power amplifier designed for demanding sound reinforcement applications. Delivering 2 × 1250 W of clean Class-H power, it offers fast response, low distortion, and reliable operation in stereo, parallel, or bridge modes. Built with an extensive protection circuit, variable-speed cooling system, and channel limiters, the IPS 2.5K ensures stable, consistent performance even under heavy loads. With XLR inputs and both speakON and binding post outputs, it provides flexible connectivity for a wide range of professional setups.
The Advantage of Class H
Class-H amplifiers modulate the supply voltage to the amplifier output devices so that it is never higher than necessary to support the signal swing. This reduces dissipation across the output devices connected to that supply and allows the amplifier to operate with an optimized efficiency, regardless of output power level. Up to full power, a Class-H design will require less energy than a pure class AB design, and is better suited for high-power applications.
Remarkable Audio Performance
With a very high signal-to-noise ratio, IPS amplifiers also boast a very low total harmonic distortion, making it perfect for highly demanding music applications hence delivering perfect vocal intelligibility.
Self-protecting Architecture
IPS Amplifiers implement several safety strategies protecting both the amplifier and the sound system, including an effective peak limiting protection for the transducers. The temperature-controlled continuous variable speed double-fan system (front to back), combined with the high-efficiency heat sinks, allows the amplifier to maintain the optimal working temperature, no matter the environmental temperature or the power output. The circuit is protected from overheating and short circuits, also including protections against infrasonic DC and Very High Frequency (VHF) peaks from non-musical signals that could damage transducers.
