The StormAudio Impulsion 8 is an 8-channel Class D power amplifier, co-designed with Pascal Audio, in a compact 2RU chassis with quiet cooling. It is built to drive a home theater speaker system from a StormAudio processor. It delivers 200W per channel into 8 ohms or 400W into 4 ohms with all channels driven, or 800W per channel across four bridged channels. It accepts analog XLR and digital AoIP, has built-in DSP, and you can monitor it remotely through the processor.
