The Dayton Audio
®
DA30 is the ideal amplifier for commercial audio installations; such as classrooms, where a small, low wattage
amplifier is required. This Class D amplifier can sit on a desktop, or can be mounted on a wall or under cabinets using the included
mounting brackets. In stereo mode the DA30 delivers 2 X 15 W and in bridged mode 1 X 30 W. Two stereo audio inputs increase
versatility; 2-RCA or a single 3.5mm jack. Separate Treble and Bass controls allow the sound to be tailored to the room. The DA30’s
Auto-On feature means the unit will not sit idle wasting power when not in use.
