Description
The Citronic H3200 is a high-output 2-channel hybrid Class-H power amplifier designed for professional PA systems, live sound, and commercial audio installations. Delivering up to 2 x 1200W at 4Ω, it provides powerful, dynamic performance with the efficiency benefits of modern amplifier design, making it a strong solution for medium to large-scale sound reinforcement systems.
Engineered with a hybrid Class-H architecture, the H3200 combines the efficiency of a digitally controlled power section with the proven power delivery and stability of a traditional Class-H output stage, ensuring high output with reduced heat and energy consumption.
High Power Output for Large-Scale Systems
The H3200 delivers substantial output across multiple load configurations:
- 2 x 1200W @ 4Ω
- 2 x 800W @ 8Ω
- Up to 2 x 1600W @ 2Ω
- Bridge mode up to 3200W @ 4Ω
This makes it ideal for:
- Nightclubs and music venues
- Bars and high-energy hospitality environments
- Live sound and touring systems
- Gyms and fitness venues
- Large-scale PA installations
Its high output capability ensures strong sound pressure levels and reliable performance across demanding applications.
Hybrid Class-H Efficiency and Performance
The hybrid Class-H design enables the amplifier to deliver high power while maintaining improved efficiency compared to traditional Class-AB designs.
This results in:
- Reduced heat generation
- Improved energy efficiency
- Consistent output under load
- Greater reliability during continuous use
This balance of power and efficiency makes it particularly suited to professional installation and touring environments.
Flexible Operating Modes
The H3200 supports multiple operating modes, allowing it to be adapted to a wide range of system configurations:
- Stereo mode for standard two-channel operation
- Parallel mode for identical signal routing
- Bridge mode for high-power mono applications
This flexibility allows installers to optimise the amplifier for both distributed systems and high-output speaker configurations.
Integrated Low-Pass Filter for Subwoofer Use
A switchable 120Hz low-pass crossover is built into the amplifier, allowing it to be used directly with subwoofers without requiring external processing.
This provides:
- Reduced system complexity
- Lower equipment costs
- Simplified rack setups
It is particularly useful for systems requiring dedicated subwoofer channels.
Digital Monitoring and User Feedback
The front-panel LCD display provides real-time system monitoring, including:
- Supply voltage
- Internal temperature
- Output level
This allows operators to quickly assess system performance and maintain optimal operation.
Professional Connectivity and Signal Handling
The H3200 features a fully balanced signal path with switchable input sensitivity levels, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources.
Speaker connections are handled via professional connectors, supporting secure and reliable system integration.
Comprehensive Protection and Reliability
Designed for demanding environments, the amplifier includes a full protection suite:
- Thermal protection
- Overload and short-circuit protection
- DC fault protection
- RF protection
- Active inrush current limiting
- Automatic mute on power on/off
These features ensure long-term reliability and protect both the amplifier and connected loudspeakers.
Installation-Ready Rack Design
The H3200 is housed in a standard 19-inch rack-mountable chassis, making it easy to integrate into professional AV racks and touring systems.
Its relatively lightweight construction allows for easier transport and installation without compromising performance.
Ideal Applications
The Citronic H3200 is designed for high-demand audio environments:
- Nightclubs and live music venues
- Bars and hospitality spaces
- Large retail environments
- Fitness centres and gyms
- Touring and rental systems
Its combination of high output, flexible configuration, and built-in processing makes it a versatile solution for professional users.
