AtlasIED HPA2602 High-Power 2-Channel Amplifier – 70V/2Ω

The AtlasIED HPA2602 is a high-performance, two-channel professional power amplifier engineered for demanding commercial audio installations and high-output sound reinforcement systems. Delivering 1,300 watts per channel at 70.7V or 4 ohms, and up to 1,800 watts per channel at 2 ohms, the HPA2602 provides the power and flexibility needed for large distributed speaker systems and professional loudspeaker applications.

Featuring Generation II Class I output topology, the HPA2602 combines the sound quality associated with Class AB amplification and efficiency approaching Class D designs. Its advanced amplifier architecture delivers high-output performance while helping manage power consumption and heat generation.

Designed for professional integration, the HPA2602 includes balanced audio inputs, front-panel detented level controls with a security cover, remote turn-on capability, and fault reporting. An optional Dante digital audio interface provides additional connectivity for compatible networked audio systems.

With a universal auto-sensing switch-mode power supply, efficient thermal management, and a compact 2RU rackmount design, the AtlasIED HPA2602 is well suited for large commercial paging networks, auditoriums, performance venues, houses of worship, and high-SPL sound reinforcement installations.

High-Power Amplification for 70V and Low-Impedance Systems

The AtlasIED HPA2602 delivers substantial amplifier output across multiple load configurations, making it suitable for demanding commercial and professional audio systems.

Power output ratings include:

• 70.7V distributed audio: 2 × 1,300 watts
• 8-ohm speaker loads: 2 × 800 watts
• 4-ohm speaker loads: 2 × 1,300 watts
• 2-ohm speaker loads: 2 × 1,800 watts
• 8-ohm bridged operation: 1 × 2,500 watts
• 1-ohm RMS power rating: 1 × 3,200 watts

For large commercial installations, the 70.7V output allows the HPA2602 to power appropriately designed distributed loudspeaker systems.

Its low-impedance capabilities also make it suitable for professional sound reinforcement applications requiring substantial power delivery.

Bridged operation provides an additional configuration option when a compatible high-power loudspeaker system requires a single amplifier output.

Important: The HPA2602 is specified for 70.7V distributed audio operation. It is not rated for 100V output.

Generation II Class I Amplifier Technology

The HPA2602 uses Generation II Class I output topology, designed to combine high-fidelity audio performance with efficient power conversion.

This technology provides the sound quality associated with traditional Class AB amplifiers while approaching the operating efficiency of Class D amplification.

The amplifier features a specified 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response and less than 0.05% total harmonic distortion, supporting clear reproduction of speech and music.

Its high-output architecture is particularly useful for applications requiring substantial amplifier power without sacrificing audio performance.

Designed for Demanding Sound Reinforcement Applications

The AtlasIED HPA2602 is engineered for installations where conventional lower-power amplifiers may not provide sufficient output.

Its ability to deliver 1,800 watts per channel into 2-ohm loads offers additional flexibility for compatible professional loudspeaker configurations.

For larger venues, this output capability can support demanding sound reinforcement applications where high sound pressure levels and dependable operation are required.

The amplifier is also well suited for high-capacity commercial distributed audio systems, where multiple loudspeakers must receive sufficient power from a centralized equipment rack.

Proper amplifier sizing, loudspeaker impedance, and system configuration remain essential for reliable operation.

Optional Dante Digital Audio Integration

The HPA2602 includes a rear-panel accessory card slot designed to accommodate an optional Dante digital audio interface.

When equipped with a compatible interface card, the amplifier can be integrated into supported networked audio systems.

Dante technology allows compatible audio equipment to exchange digital audio over an Ethernet-based network, providing flexibility for larger installations.

This capability can be particularly useful in facilities where audio signals must be distributed between multiple equipment locations.

Note: Dante connectivity requires a separately purchased compatible accessory card. The HPA2602 does not include Dante connectivity as a standard built-in feature.

Professional Controls and System Monitoring

The AtlasIED HPA2602 includes features designed to simplify installation, operation, and integration into professional audio systems.

Balanced Audio Inputs

Balanced connections help minimize unwanted interference and noise in professional audio signal paths.

Detented Front-Panel Level Controls

Front-panel level controls allow installers to make precise adjustments during system setup.

An included security cover helps protect established settings against accidental changes.

Remote Turn-On Capability

Remote turn-on functionality supports integration with compatible centralized power management and control systems.

Fault Reporting

Built-in fault reporting provides useful system status information for monitoring and troubleshooting.

These features help make the HPA2602 suitable for permanent commercial installations where reliable operation and controlled access are important.

Advanced Cooling and Power Management

High-power amplification requires effective thermal management.

The HPA2602 incorporates a low-resistance, direct-coupled thermal transfer design intended to help maintain appropriate operating temperatures under varying output conditions.

A variable-speed cooling fan provides additional temperature management during operation.

The amplifier also features a universal auto-sensing switch-mode power supply designed to accommodate varying input power conditions.

With approximately 1 watt of standby power consumption, the HPA2602 supports energy-conscious operation when the amplifier is not actively in use.

Professional 2RU Rackmount Construction

The AtlasIED HPA2602 is designed for installation in standard professional audio equipment racks.

Its chassis occupies 2 rack units and measures approximately:

• Width: 19 inches
• Height: 3.5 inches
• Depth: 15 inches

The amplifier weighs approximately 33 pounds, providing a robust high-power solution for permanent professional installations.

Its black finish and rackmount design allow it to integrate into commercial equipment rooms and professional sound system racks.
