Since we have had a few questions come up about a teaser on Facebook and Instagram, we can talk about it here! For those who aren't aware, here is post people were talking about: http://instagram.com/p/BrQ6tNMgB8L  These half rack width monoblocks can work by themselves or can be tied together with a bridge kit and then rack mounted for your system setup. The chassis holds the full 3KW power supply and (1) 300watt mono module. The same power supply and mono module that is used on the Gen3 products. |

Interesting. Are these actually going to production or simply a one-off concept for now?

It looks fantastic and makes a lot of sense for people that are looking for a monoblock 2 channel system.
1. Are these double wide balanced monodules (DR-1)?
2. Does each half rack width monoblock have a 3kw PS? So if you got two there would be two 3kw ps?
3. When they are tied together are there two power cables or one?

It would be really fun to see how this would preform compared to my current DR-2. Space wise I have issues doing dual Monoblocks, but this looks like it would be a simple replacement from my DR-2.

You are right on the power, for some reason I thought it was 1300W, not 1 300W module.

Look to me like XPA-1L replacements, monoblock 300 watts each, just minus the Class A biasing. Nice profile (narrow width) to locate close beside their respective speaker. I like it.  Cheers Gary |

About just as well as when you went from Gen 2 to your DR-2, but most likely even less of a difference (if that's possible). |

You meant the “other” Nick! 🤫 I am not leaving the monoblock society....just moving to a different brand due to the my left/right new ones.....but still have the XPA-10 and RMC  |

I don't have a final price on these or a landing date but we are moving forward and will be producing these amps. Small monobocks for people that might not have the room for a full pair of 4RU chassis. These will be able to nest tightly wherever you can find room for them. As shown above in the picture, there will be a rack kit (ears not shown) for them that will allow you to join a pair together with a front and rear mounting plate and it takes of the same space as one of our Gen3 amps. We still want to connect 7 of them in a row and have badass super wide amp  |

Does the bridge kit actually tie two together as one channel amplification?

Looks like possibly separate power supplies...  |

The “bridging” looks to me to just be a double wide front plate with the now common design shape plus an even more simple flat joining plate at the rear. No electronic joining, so they remain true monoblocks (ie; 2 of everything including power supplies).
Even when joined together they still maintain their advantage of total monoblock separation electronically. For me their even bigger advantage is their “half width” which would help in locating them close by their respective speaker.
Cheers

Separate 3kW power supplies for each Amp.
