soundcraftsmen phase control regulation pcr 800

Part of the reason I’ve had so many of these amps is that I had to buy a pair of two amps just to get the AB 1 so I could bridge my amps. Soundcraftsmen sold what they called an 'autobridging' (AB1) adapter back in the day that was used to bridge these amps. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send you a test report.Ĭlick to expand.Pete, unfortunately, these amps do not have a built in bridging switch. This rig has played outdoor parties at insane levels for hours with zero issues. My bridged setup is capable of SPL’s approaching live concerts. I even visited the factory in Santa Ana before MTX bought them. Yeah, they are stamped steel construction and don’t look impressive with the covers off, like some of our vintage Japanese gear, but the performance is over the top as far as I’m concerned. They can drive a 2 ohm load without any trouble. In mono mode we're talking 600 watts each. I love the MOSFET sound which is often compared to tube amps, but with 20X the headroom of most valve amps.Ī single PCR 800 with 205 wpc is more than adequate for most of us, but a pair bridged with the AB1 or a Soundcraftsmen or other preamp that can bridge a pair of monoblock amps, produce power that is simply off the chart. Very robust, powerful and for me, trouble free. I've had a total of 5 of these amps over the course of 10 years and never had a problem with any of them. I have two PCR 800's as the heart of my main rig, bridged with the AB1.
