DETAILS

The Cloud CA6160 is a versatile 6-channel Class D power amplifier designed for multi-zone commercial audio systems.

Delivering 6 x 160W of power, it supports both low-impedance (4Ω) loudspeakers and high-impedance (70V/100V) distributed systems, making it ideal for retail stores, hotels, restaurants, leisure facilities, and industrial applications. Its power-sharing feature allows up to 1000W to be dynamically distributed across channels, optimising speaker coverage and system efficiency.

Built with energy efficiency in mind, the CA6160 features transformerless outputs, reducing weight and size while enhancing performance. The Automatic Power Down (APD) function minimises power consumption to less than 2.5W when idle, with a remote standby/wake-up option for external control. Comprehensive protection features, including thermal monitoring, overcurrent protection, and DC offset detection, ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.

Cloud Electronics CA6160 Key Features:

  • 6 x 160W Class D amplification with intelligent power sharing
  • Supports 70V/100V-line or low-impedance (≥4Ω) operation
  • Balanced line-level inputs with per-channel gain controls
  • Automatic Power Down (APD) with idle consumption below 2.5W
  • Remote power control input for external standby/wake-up functionality
  • Variable-speed forced-air cooling for thermal stability
  • Integrated protection circuits, including thermal, overcurrent, and DC offset safeguards
  • Universal power supply (100-240V AC) for worldwide use
