{"product_id":"gato-audio-dpa-2506-mehrkanal-endstufe-wunschfarbe","title":"Gato Audio DPA-2506 Multichannel Power Amplifier, Custom Colour High Gloss","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gato Audio DPA-2506 is a configurable six-channel power amplifier in Class-D technology that can be made to order in an individual high-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnically this version is identical to the standard colours: three amplifier modules with two channels each, each pair bridgeable, inputs balanced via XLR and unbalanced via RCA, six speaker pairs on the connection panel and a 12-volt trigger for automatic switching on and off. The difference is in the finish: Gato paints the housing in your custom shade, always in high gloss. \u003cstrong\u003eThe image in the gallery shows a sample colour\u003c\/strong\u003e – you choose the actual custom colour freely. Supplied as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gato Audio DPA-2506?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause here you decide freely twice over: once how power is distributed across your rooms, and once what colour the unit wears while doing it. Six individual channels for multiroom, bridged pairs for thirsty speakers, or a mix – plus a housing that adapts to your décor instead of the other way round. Not every power amp has to hide behind closed doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower that you allocate yourself. In six-channel operation, 250 watts at 8 ohms each, bridged up to 900 watts at 8 ohms on one channel, at 4 ohms 500 or 1050 watts respectively. Total harmonic distortion under 0.01 percent at rated power, signal-to-noise ratio above 110 dB, frequency response reaching up to 70 kHz. The non-magnetic housing cleanly separates the modules, and Class D keeps heat output in check with 75 watts idle consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the DPA-2506 suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor multiroom systems, home cinemas and installations where a central unit supplies several pairs of speakers – and especially for projects where the electronics stay visible and need to match the colour scheme. Straight talk: for a pure stereo system in the living room, the power amp is oversized, and the custom finish extends the lead time. If you're in a hurry, a standard colour is the better route.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most flexible variant of an already flexible power amp: six channels, freely configurable, in the colour of your choice. Technically flawless, visually as unobtrusive or as bold as you like. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we take note of your colour wish, check feasibility with the distributor, and plan the channel split right along with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e configurable multichannel power amplifier, 6 channels, Class D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier modules:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 modules, bridgeable in pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower at 8 Ω:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6× 250 W · 3× 900 W (bridged) · 2× 900 W + 2× 250 W · 1× 900 W + 4× 250 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower at 4 Ω:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6× 500 W · 3× 1050 W (bridged) · 2× 1050 W + 2× 500 W · 1× 1050 W + 4× 500 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz (−0.5 dB), 2 Hz – 70 kHz (−3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal harmonic distortion (THD):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.01% at rated power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 110 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 kΩ (RCA) \/ 40 kΩ (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pairs XLR, gold-plated (Neutrik)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnbalanced inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pairs RCA, gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 pairs of gold-plated safety binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 V standby trigger (mini-jack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115\/230 V AC, 50\/60 Hz, max. 2000 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 1 W standby, 75 W idle, max. 2000 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e non-magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom colour, high gloss (image shows a colour sample)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 32.5 × 10.5 × 42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gato Audio, Copenhagen (Denmark)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour do I get with the custom-colour version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhichever one you choose.

We take note of your desired shade and clarify feasibility before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many speakers does the DPA-2506 drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp to six channels, so three stereo pairs across separate zones, at 250 watts at 8 ohms each. If you bridge modules, the channel count drops and power rises to up to 900 watts at 8 ohms per bridged channel. Mixed configurations are possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need in addition to the DPA-2506?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA preamp, AV preamp or an integrated amplifier with a preamp output, since the power amp has neither volume control nor source selection. Plus speaker cable for the channels in use and XLR or RCA cable to the preamp.
