Description
This here is 57 pounds, 19 W x 13 D x 7 H, and over 900 watts of rack-mountable respect from the police. Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked a PSA-2 once - and all across the world, subwoofers were invented. -------------- But seriously, what is this thing? Well, racks of these were powering stadium concerts back in the 80s - Madonna, Seger, all the Big Names. Use of it in a domestic setting is...frankly ridiculous. Like having a concealed carry permit for a howitzer. But I like the retro-professional-macho-cool aesthetic - like a James Bond with curly sideburns and a jittering Elvis leg showed up at your party. The PSA-2 is built to sing its heart out for hours every day, and get packed and hit the road and get unpacked and do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Need a speced power into 2 ohms? This babys got you covered. Audiophile black background? Eh, not so much. Theres a fan that runs continuously (class AB after all - it gets warm). The fan is still (although barely) audible at 6 feet, in an otherwise silent room. Do you notice it in the videos? I didnt think so. Me either - BECAUSE IVE GONE DEAF with happiness! ------------- But still more seriously, what should you know before you buy it? Well, this unit was, I believe, refurbished by its previous owner. His command of English was on a par with my knowledge of Vietnamese, so we were mostly using hand gestures. The photos show everything I know of the units condition. Except that it plays, oh boy does it play. There is no scratchiness or intermittent responses when turning the knobs, either. Aside from a few housing scratches, its like it was manufactured yesterday. The PSA-2s power cord has a 3-prong plug with one of the flat prongs at 90 degrees - so that it can only be used on high-power rated outlets, or so I have read. Some previous owner defeated that by twisting the deviant prong with pliers, so it would half-fit in a standard (120V US) domestic outlet. That is how I received the unit, but I considered it unacceptable. So I twisted it back, and use an adapter cord with it - shown in the photos. There is still a slight wrinkle in the traumatized prong, but no looseness - and it is securely encased in rubber when connected, instead of hanging out in the open. The adapter cable is included with this listing. The inputs are 1/4 TRS - standard enough in pro audio, but home users probably have RCA coming from their receiver. I use RCA-to-TRS adapters. They are also included in this listing. ---------- Thats all Ive got! Message me with any questions.
