Product Description
Amplifiers today need to be multi-faceted to keep up with the task at hand. Versatility is the foundation upon which the Dayton Audio APA150 is based. Configured in stereo mode, amplification is provided to a pair of speakers for stereo or surround playback. Select bridge-mono mode and the APA150 is configured for powering a center channel speaker, or a subwoofer/tactile transducer when used with the on-board low pass filter. Full-range line-level outputs allow for daisy chaining amplifiers for a multi-room whole house audio system or for bi-amp applications. A smaller chassis consumes less space than conventional amplifiers making placement options virtually endless. Key features of the APA150 are high current, discrete power transistors (used in premium amp designs), a hefty toroidal power supply transformer, low-noise forced air cooling, a fully adjustable—and defeatable—electronic 50-150 Hz low-pass filter (18 dB/octave), and complete protection against electrical shorting and thermal overload. Also included is auto-on/off, silent turn-off with no audible transient, gold plated RCA inputs/outputs, and 5-way binding posts. Features and Specifications: *Measured power output: 2 x 75 watts RMS (into 4 ohms @ less than 0.01% THD) *Signal-to-noise ratio: greater than 100 dB *Class A/B design topology *Input impedance: 47k ohms *Auto-on sensitivity: 3 mV *Voltage requirement: 120/230 VAC, 60/50 Hz *Dimensions: 5-1/2' H x 6' W x 11-1/2' D.Toroidal power supply2 x 75 watts RMS power @ 4 ohms, 1 x 150 watts RMS bridged mono @ 8 ohmsHigh current, discrete output transistorsAdjustable 50-150 Hz low pass crossoverGold-plated 5-way binding posts that accept up to 8 AWG wire

Perfect for a high power center channel
By Lazarus Dark
I got this specifically because I wanted a 150 watt center channel amplifier. I got the Cerwin Vega VE series center channel which can be fed up to 150 watts and I wanted to make sure I could take full advantage of it. This is a great pairing, though I can never turn the volume past 50% or I will go deaf. Everything sounds crystal clear though, and the bass performance is fantastic. I would almost buy one of these for every speaker!

By A. Stark
I bought this amplifier to drive a subwoofer that had no built-in amplifier. It works great for that purpose; I am very happy with the quality. It can be bridged to a 150 W mono amplifier, and there is an adjustable low-pass filter that can optionally be switched in. You do not need a Y-connector or a shorting wire for bridging, there is a switch on the back that does this.One thing that is not mentioned (or explained very well in the manual) is an optional "auto-on" feature that is enabled or disabled by a switch on the back. You can just leave the amplifier on/off switch in the "on" position, and it will turn on when it receives an audio input signal. When it stops receiving an input, it will go to standby after 15 minutes.
