Celto Acoustique C2.6 – Core Series 2-Channel Power Amplifier
Description
SKU: AMPCEL005
The Celto C2.6 is a 2-channel, professional-grade power amplifier from the renowned Core Series, designed for demanding sound reinforcement applications. Built around a linear power supply with a toroidal transformer, this amp delivers clean, efficient power with rock-solid protection and reliability.
Its Class H output stage offers up to 70% efficiency, while the PeakStop opto-limiter and advanced thermal and electrical protections make it ideal for long hours of continuous use in live sound, installed PA systems, or touring rigs.
With 2 × 600W at 4 ohms and bridge mode output of 1200W at 8 ohms, the C2.6 balances power, audio integrity, and ease of use in a compact 2U chassis.
