Detail 01
100W per channel at 8 ohms, 130W at 4 ohms
Most passive monitors are 8 ohms, so 100 watts is your real number. Dropping to 4 ohms adds only 30.

ArtSLA1 Studio Power Amplifier
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 1U studio power amp, 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms. For driving passive monitors or a small install system.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Passive nearfield monitors in a small studio or edit room
- Background speakers in a cafe, office or retail space
- One 8-ohm sub or full-range box when bridged
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Large rooms or loud stages — 100 watts runs out
- Powered monitors, which already have amplification built in
- Bridging into 4 ohms; the mono rating is 8 ohms
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
260W bridged mono into 8 ohms
Both channels combine to drive one speaker. Good for a single sub, but you give up stereo entirely.
Detail 03
1V input sensitivity for full power
Standard line level drives it all the way, so any mixer or interface output can reach full output.
Detail 04
2x XLR and 2x 1/4-inch TRS inputs, balanced or unbalanced
Plugs straight into pro gear without adapters, and balanced runs stay quiet over long cable distances.
Detail 05
Multi-way binding post outputs
You wire speakers yourself with bare wire, spades or banana plugs. No speaker cable just plugs in.
Detail 06
Hum and noise 100dB below clipping
Quiet at idle. Hiss you hear through the monitors is coming from something upstream, not the amp.

- 01Speaker wire is not included; binding posts need bare wire or bananas

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 100 watts enough for studio monitors?
For passive nearfields in a small room, yes — more than most sessions actually use. In a large or loud room you'll run out of headroom.
02Can I bridge it for a subwoofer?
Yes, 260 watts mono into an 8-ohm load. You give up the second channel, so it powers one speaker only.
03What speakers can I connect?
Passive speakers at 8 or 4 ohms, wired to the binding posts with bare wire, spade lugs or banana plugs.
04Will it fit my rack?
One rack space, 19 inches wide and 9.5 deep at 13 pounds. It fits shallow racks and mounts on the front rails alone.
