About the EAW CAZ2500 Stereo Power Amp
The EAW CAZ2500 is a professional stereo power amplifier engineered for high-fidelity sound reinforcement in both fixed installation and touring applications. This amplifier is designed to deliver robust, clean power with a focus on reliability and sonic accuracy. Utilizing a Class A/B output stage, it provides a balance of efficiency and the traditional sonic characteristics favored by many audio professionals for their smooth transition at crossover points. With a substantial power rating, the CAZ2500 is capable of driving a wide range of loudspeaker loads, from full-range systems to subwoofers, making it a versatile choice for powering main PA speakers, stage monitors, or distributed audio zones in commercial installations.
The amplifier incorporates advanced protection circuitry to ensure safe operation under demanding conditions. Features such as thermal overload protection, output short-circuit protection, and DC fault detection safeguard both the amplifier and the connected loudspeakers. Its robust power supply, anchored by a large toroidal transformer and substantial filter capacitors, provides the current reserves necessary for handling dynamic musical peaks without compression, contributing to a punchy and articulate sound. The front panel includes clear status indicators for signal presence, clipping, and thermal conditions, along with level controls for each channel.
Housed in a standard 2U rack-mountable chassis, the CAZ2500 is built for durability with a steel enclosure and efficient cooling via a variable-speed fan. It offers professional connectivity with balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs, and robust binding post and Speakon output connectors. Designed for the rigors of professional use, the EAW CAZ2500 provides system builders and engineers with a reliable, high-performance amplification solution that prioritizes sound quality and long-term stability for critical listening environments.
