That gives 150W into 8Ω across eight channels, or 740W into 8Ω across four, or any sensible combination in between. It suits a full surround system, a bi-amped stereo pair, or a system that starts as one and becomes the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe configuration is yours.\u003c\/b\u003e Each pair of channels bridges independently, so seven channels of surround plus a bridged pair for the front left and right is a legitimate setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHypex NCore500 modules.\u003c\/b\u003e A well proven output stage with very low distortion, here running to 400W into 2Ω per channel when speakers get difficult.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOne box instead of four.\u003c\/b\u003e Eight channels in a 15kg chassis replaces a stack of stereo amplifiers, with one mains lead and one trigger connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder the Hood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight Hypex NCore500 amplifier modules rated at 150W into 8Ω, 300W into 4Ω and 400W into 2Ω per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjacent channel pairs bridgeable to mono, producing 740W into 8Ω per bridged pair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD below 0.005% with signal to noise better than 115dB, from balanced XLR inputs at 36kΩ with 12V trigger switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHT Insider Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a specialist purchase and it is very good at what it does. If you are running a processor and need real power on every channel, the A35.8 delivers it without four separate boxes generating four separate earth paths. It is also a quietly clever stereo amplifier if you bridge two pairs and bi-amp. Overkill for a simple two channel system, which is what the A35.2 is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridging halves the load impedance the modules see, so check your speakers before bridging into anything below 8Ω. Two bridged pairs into 8Ω speakers is the safe, and very capable, configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEight channel power amplifier, pairs bridgeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHypex NCore500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150W into 8Ω, 300W into 4Ω, 400W into 2Ω per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBridged output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e740W into 8Ω per bridged pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerformance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.005%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetter than 115dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36kΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 x balanced XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 x binding posts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V trigger in and out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhysical\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Titanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarranty\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Primare","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48400917201154,"sku":"PRI-A358-BLK","price":8499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":48400925425922,"sku":"PRI-A358-TIT","price":8499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/4376\/1716\/files\/primare-power-amplifiers-1255975005.jpg?v=1787872874","url":"https:\/\/www.customht.com.au\/products\/primare-a35-8-power-amplifier","provider":"CHT Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
