DETAILS

The Ecler HADA-4B250 is a 4-Channel 4 x 250W Networkable Class D DSP Power Amplifier supporting low and high impedance loads, with a 4x4 digital matrix mixer, comprehensive onboard signal processing and full TCP/IP network control.

Delivering twice the output power of the HADA-4B150 for larger, more demanding fixed installation environments.

The Ecler HADA-4B250 is the higher-powered sibling of the HADA-4B150 within Ecler's HADA series of professional networkable DSP amplifiers, stepping up to four channels of 250W Class D amplification whilst retaining the same comprehensive digital signal processing, matrix mixing and network control capabilities that make the HADA series such a compelling choice for professional fixed installation audio systems.

Whether deployed in larger retail environments, educational facilities, corporate spaces, hospitality venues or public buildings requiring greater amplifier headroom and output capability, the HADA-4B250 delivers the power, flexibility and control that demanding installation projects require — all within the same compact 2RU 19" rack chassis as the HADA-4B150.

Greater Power, Same Flexible Output Configuration

The HADA-4B250 supports the same wide range of output configurations as the HADA-4B150 but with significantly increased power output. In standard stereo mode, all four channels deliver 250W into 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm low-impedance loads. In bridge mode, channel pairs deliver a substantial 500W into high-impedance 100V or 70V distributed speaker systems — making the HADA-4B250 equally well suited to driving demanding low-impedance speaker arrays and large-scale 100V line distributed audio installations. An additional operating point of 180W at 2.7 Ohm provides further flexibility for lower-impedance speaker configurations. Output mode selection per channel or channel pair is handled via the HADA DSP Manager software for precise and flexible system configuration. The improved crosstalk specification of greater than 80dB at 1kHz — compared to 60dB on the HADA-4B150 — reflects the higher-performance signal path of this more powerful model.

Advanced Onboard DSP via HADA DSP Manager

The HADA-4B250 shares the same advanced DSP engine as the HADA-4B150, built around a dual-core 64-bit processor with 96kHz/24-bit audio conversion and 113dB dynamic range. Per-channel processing includes parametric EQ, delay, limiter and multiband compressor on both input and output paths, with a 4x4 digital matrix mixer allowing any input to be routed to any output combination. All configurations can be saved as presets for rapid system recall. Signal processing latency is an extremely low 500 microseconds from analogue input to analogue output. The HADA DSP Manager application — accessible via Ethernet (100Mbps, CAT5 up to 100m) and an embedded web application — provides a comprehensive and intuitive interface for all device configuration, monitoring and control from a networked computer or control system.

Multiple Control Options

The HADA-4B250 offers the same generous range of control options as the HADA-4B150. Front panel rotary attenuators provide direct local level control for each output channel. Four rear panel GPI inputs (0–3.3V) enable remote volume control from external control devices, whilst an external MUTE input via dry contact closure allows system-wide muting from fire detection systems and other safety or control devices. Third-party control system integration is supported via TCP/IP, making the HADA-4B250 compatible with a wide range of building management and AV control platforms. A front panel RUN/SLEEP button enables standby mode for energy-efficient operation during periods of inactivity, with a standby power consumption of just 13W.

Comprehensive Protection & Monitoring

The HADA-4B250 is equipped with the same full suite of protection circuits as the rest of the HADA series, ensuring total reliability in continuous professional operation. DC protection, HF protection, short-circuit protection and thermal protection — with automatic output power reduction at 90°C and full mute at 100°C — safeguard both the amplifier and connected loudspeakers at all times. Per-channel front panel LED monitoring covers signal present, clip, limit, mute and protection status, with additional unit-level indicators for power on, data activity and external mute status. The temperature-controlled variable speed fan with front-to-back airflow operates at a maximum noise level of just 40dB at 1m — quieter than the HADA-4B150 — making it an especially practical choice for noise-sensitive installation environments.
