•
wake up — Both the NetPA U 1004 and NetPA U 1002 are ENERGY STAR qualified
amplifiers and energy efficient products that conserve energy and reduce cost. Both
amplifiers meet ENERGY STAR qualification requirements with an auto-standby feature
which automatically places the amplifier into Standby mode after 25 minutes of
inactivity thereby dramatically reducing power consumption. And they quickly return to
full power status in less than 100 ms upon signal detection, with minimal inrush current.
Auto-standby can be disabled if required.
Single and dual rack-mount hardware included — The included single and side-by-

side rack-mount hardware simplifies planning and saves cost.
Integrated DSP —
•
• The NetPA U 1004 has an 8x8 mix matrix which provides essential DSP
processing including level control, filters, dynamics, and delay.
The NetPA U 1002 has a 6x6 mix matrix that does the same action: providing
•
essential DSP processing including level control, filters, dynamics, ducking and
delay.
Convection cooled, fanless operation - can be stacked without extra rack
•
space for ventilation — The NetPA Ultra Series does not require internal fans or vents
for cooling, ensuring quiet and reliable operation. They generate substantially less heat
than conventional power amplifiers, making them ideal for rack-mount applications
where space is limited (see
page 9).
• Extron Patented CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression — CDRS is an Extron
patented technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an
improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS
eliminates the high frequency switching ripple that is characteristic of Class D amplifiers,
a source of RF emissions which can interfere with sensitive AV equipment such as
wireless microphones.
• Four channels in a 1U, half rack width enclosure — The channel density of the
NetPA U 1004 reduces rack space requirements for many installation.
• Remote control and monitoring —
• Control and monitor the NetPA Ultra amplifier directly through the RS-232 port.
Control the NetPA Ultra amplifier through a DMP Plus processor over a Dante
•
network.

network or USB.
• UL 2043 plenum rated when used with optional Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit —
The NetPA Ultra Series meets UL 2043 for smoke and heat release for installation within
a plenum airspace above a drop ceiling when used with the optional Flexible Conduit
Adapter Kit. Above-the-ceiling placement conceals the amplifier to prevent theft, and is
convenient for installing equipment when space inside the room is limited.
• Professional grade signal-to-noise and THD+N performance — The NetPA Ultra
Series delivers professional grade performance, featuring 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio
and THD+N of less than 0.1%.
• Ultra low inrush current at power up - no need for power sequencing — Allows
multiple NetPA Ultra Series amplifiers to be powered on simultaneously without
overloading power circuits.
