AudioControl's Pantages five-channel amp is rated to deliver 200 watts each into 8 ohms, and its Lightdrive protection circuitry is said to eliminate the possibility of clipping, audible distortion, or damage to the amplifier even under the heaviest use. The high-efficiency Class H design makes a noisy, bulky fan unnecessary. There are both balanced and unbalanced inputs, and the all-metal chassis comes with a black or silver front panel.
