Art's latest amplifier offering, the SLA-2, stems from the success of the popular 100 watt SLA 1. For all of you "power" hungry audio enthusiests, ART has created the more powerful SLA-2. The SLA-2 is a studio linear power amp that delivers 200 watts of clean, clear power, and will help reproduce your mixes with near pinpoint accuracy inside a single rack space. One of the top features for studio use on the SLA-2 is ART's SmartFan technology.

It's temperturecontrolled variable speed keeps the amp quiet and cool while performing at lower output.

The sound is very clean and with the changes in mikes, mixer and amp I have members who have difficulty hearing telling me they can actually hear the presentation better.

A six channel mixer, effects unit and power conditioner fill out the rack. A week after it arrived I used in for the first time. Load in and out was a breeze and the unit performance was incredible.
