Yorkville PX1700 Competitive Differences
- 850W per channel @ 2Ω or 1700W bridged @ 4Ω for full-range or subwoofer applications
- Advanced Class H design for high efficiency and reduced heat output
- Toroidal transformer minimizes hum and electromagnetic interference
- Transparent peak limiting and comprehensive protection (short circuit, DC, thermal)
- Soft-start circuitry protects connected speakers from power-on surges
- All-steel chassis and rackmountable 2U design for road or install use
Yorkville PX1700 Description
The
Yorkville PX1700 is built to deliver consistent, clean audio power under demanding conditions. Each channel offers up to 850 watts at 2 ohms, or it can be bridged for 1700 watts at 4 ohms, making it ideal for driving both full-range cabinets and subwoofers. Balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs, along with speakON® and binding post outputs, ensure compatibility with nearly any system configuration.
The PX1700 includes a fan-cooled, front-to-rear ventilation path and internal protection for thermal overload, short circuits, and DC offset, enhancing its durability and performance. With THD less than 0.1% and a high damping factor, it maintains exceptional sound quality at all volumes.
