PA 16

High-Performance 16-Channel Power Amplifier

The StormAudio PA 16 is a high-performance multichannel power amplifier designed for demanding home cinema installations. Featuring advanced UMAC™ Class D amplification and four individual UREC™ power supplies, it delivers high efficiency, exceptional dynamic performance, and low distortion for precise and powerful sound reproduction.

Key Features

Advanced Class D Amplification

Developed in collaboration with Danish amplifier specialist Pascal Audio, the PA 16 combines efficient power delivery with high dynamic range and low distortion, making it suitable for sophisticated multichannel audio systems.

16-Channel Amplification

With 16 independent amplifier channels, the PA 16 provides a flexible solution for powering immersive home cinema speaker systems, reducing the need for multiple separate amplifiers.

Powerful Bridged Operation

Bridge Tied Load (BTL) mode allows two amplifier channels to be combined to drive a single loudspeaker. Supporting up to four bridged channels, the PA 16 can deliver up to 800 W per bridged channel under specified operating conditions.

Intelligent System Monitoring

When connected to a compatible StormAudio ISP processor, StormMonitoring provides amplifier status information through the processor's web interface, enabling convenient local and remote system monitoring.

Flexible Installation

Featuring 16 balanced XLR inputs, three-way speaker binding posts, Ethernet monitoring, and a removable rack-mount design, the PA 16 integrates easily into dedicated home cinema systems.
