Know before you buy
A mono amplifier handles only one channel of audio. To achieve a stereo setup, you will need to purchase two of these units, one for the left speaker and one for the right.
Yes, the FLS-8 is designed to handle demanding loads with ease. It is rated to deliver up to 1500W into 2-ohm loads, providing the current necessary for speakers that are notoriously difficult to drive.
While it features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs, it is designed with fully balanced circuitry. To get the best performance and noise rejection, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality preamplifier that offers balanced outputs.
Each unit weighs 34kg (75 lbs) and measures 450x180x440mm. Because of their weight and the heat generated by the Class A gain stage, you should ensure they are placed on a sturdy, well-ventilated surface rather than inside a closed cabinet.
Yes, the FLS-8 includes a sophisticated microprocessor protection system. This monitors the amplifier's operation and will engage to protect both the electronics and your connected speakers in the event of a fault.
No, the FLS-8 is a dedicated power amplifier and does not include a remote control or volume attenuation. You will need to control the volume through your preamplifier or source component.
