The Buckeye Amps NC252MP series includes amplifiers with different channel configurations, such as 4-channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel models. These amplifiers are designed using Hypex NC252MP NCORE modules, which are known for their high damping factor, moderate output current, and excellent fidelity. Each channel can deliver up to 150 watts at 8 ohms and 125 watts at 4 ohms, with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.0015% at 125W, 4Ω, across a frequency range of 10Hz to 20kHz. The signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is 121dB, and the frequency response is flat from 10Hz to 50KHz. These amplifiers are suitable for surround sound setups, providing faithful sound reproduction with low distortion.
