CA series

CA series, classic masterpieces, followed countless times but never surpassed!

The CA series has been functionally changed to mechanical switches, allowing the system to apply power sequencers. The full introduction of AI automated mechanical plugins and SMD surface mount process technology greatly increases the welding reliability and consistency of the product, which other counterfeit products do not possess. All resistors use copper pins, and the layout process of high-power and heating devices has been optimized, effectively improving heat resistance and durability. At the same time, it also effectively improves the inherent switch distortion of H-class, making the sound quality more accurate and powerful. CA’s positioning in the high-end entertainment sound reinforcement field has made the industry omniscient, thanks to its masculine and strong output capabilities at 8, 4, and 2 ohms. This product, which has a large number of users in the Chinese entertainment amplification market, will continue to shine brightly, allowing Soundstandard CA to continue the unanimous trust of many users who love classic and authentic CA series products.
