TOA Digital Amplifier technology

redefines the very
concept of amplifiers.
The power supply unit is the heart of the amplifier.
To ensure consistently high performance and reliable operation,
TOA engineers have given the DA Series
a system that provides power independently to each channel.
This testifies to TOA's attitude to product development,
which is always totally motivated by the desire to provide
high-quality products that offer worry-free use.
Never compromise —
that's the TOA philosophy.
FEATURES
High efficiency Amplifier with
Extremely high amplification efficiency of 80-90%,
resulting in reduction in power consumption by more than world-class lightweight
60% compared with Class-AB amplifiers.

20 The DA-250 Series is 1-unit size and the DA-500 Series
10 is 2-unit size, and they can be efficiently mounted on a
0 20 40 60 80 100 rack, so they require only a small installation space.
Output (%) Because the amplifiers do not generate much heat, 5
units can be stacked together in a rack.

Conventional Amp.

Highly durable
Stands up to extended hours of operation. The DA
amplifier has undergone a large number of rigorous tests
to prove its durability. In addition, TOA has been
conducting a “non-stop driving test” of the DA Series.

High reliability DA-250 Series Amp.

DA-500 Series Amp.

The DA amplifier has a comprehensive protection circuitry

for protection against excessive current flow due to
overload, short circuit, unusual DC voltage output, and
heat sink temperature rise (DA-250D/DH, DA-550F/
500F-HL: over 100°C, DA-250F/FH: over 110°C).

Each of the channels has its own power supply. If the

power supply of Channel 1 should fail, this won't affect
the operation of Channels 2-4 (Channel 2 in case of
DA-250D/DH). It is also possible to use one of the
channels as a spare amplifier.

Design optimization for
efficient and reliable
high-level performance
The TOA DA-250F/FH, DA-250D/DH and DA-550F/500F-HL multi-channel
power amplifiers offer a wider choice of power ratings, advanced digital
Class D amplification circuitry, and a highly efficient AC mains to output power
ratio, for the complete technological superiority it takes to support long-term
installation applications. These energy-efficient, space-saving amplifiers are designed to combine
high levels of performance and efficiency, and are well-suited to ensure sound reinforcement reliability
in a wide range of venue types. The low-impedance models are ideal for multi-zone applications such
as presentation and press-conference rooms, restaurants and similar-sized locations. The high-
impedance units are well-suited to such locations as exhibition halls, sports facilities, multipurpose
halls and houses of worship.
