The Audiophonics LPA-S400ET is a two-channel Class D power amplifier built around two Purifi 1ET400A amplifier modules, one per channel, and a Hypex SMPS1200 switching power supply. It provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, with selectable input routing and three gain configurations selectable by internal jumpers. Manufacturer-listed output power is 227 W per channel into 8 ohms, 425 W into 4 ohms, and 450 W into 2 ohms, each at 1% THD. The published specifications also include a 131 dB A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio at 4 ohms and a frequency response of 20 Hz–20 kHz within ±0.01 dB. This is the LPA-S400ET model, not the similarly named HPA-S400ET variant.
