** Discontinued **

3-Way Active Amplifier Solution with Digital Crossover

 CoolbackII600.pdf Manual

Coolback II 600 is a sophisticated, luxurious and powerful 3-way active “plate amplifier” intended to be a part of the loudspeaker. All electronics assembled on it and acting as a heat sink for the amplifier modules. The only visible on the outside are the connectors (Balanced Input - Neutrik XLR, PC Communication - Neutrik USB and IEC mains Power inlet), Operation Switch (ON-OFF-AUTO) and LED Indicators (ON-StandBy). The Coolback II 600 is 180mm wide and 600mm high - a thickness of 15mm - a flange of maximum 18mm for mounting.

The Coolback II 600 has substituted both the Coolback 300 series and the "old" Coolback 600 series.
