Rugged, reliable, affordable power.
The US-5000 Two-Channel Power Amp from B-52 Pro Audio is a higher power addition to the popular US series power amps. The basic design has had some years to be tested in the marketplace and the general reviews are stellar. Efficient, great-sounding and above all, reliable, the US series amplifiers are an excellent solution for anyone who needs clean, reliable power in sound reinforcement environment, be it a travelling band, a DJ, a presenter, or a venue with an installed system.
The US-5000 is built on a rugged, heavy gauge 3U steel chassis with a sturdy aluminum front panel. The amplifiers use advanced circuitry and a well-designed PCB layout to ensure quality sound and enhanced reliability. Large dual aluminum heatsinks and an oversized toroidal transformer, combined with comprehensive protection circuitry and dual large variable speed fans provide worry-free and reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
