Overview

The Sound Barrier X5.4 is a compact four-channel Class-D power amplifier designed for permanent installations, houses of worship, conference facilities, entertainment venues, multi-zone audio systems, and smaller mobile or rental applications. It delivers 4 × 500W at 4Ω and 4 × 300W at 8Ω, providing dependable power for full-range loudspeakers, stage monitors, and compact subwoofer systems.

Stereo, mono, and bridge operating modes allow the X5.4 to accommodate a variety of system configurations, including up to 2 × 900W bridged at 8Ω. Separate mode switches for channel pairs 1–2 and 3–4 provide additional flexibility. A switchable 120Hz low-pass filter on channels 1–2 and a 120Hz high-pass filter on channels 3–4 support subwoofer and satellite loudspeaker configurations.

A universal 100–240 VAC power supply with active Power Factor Correction supports operation across a wide range of electrical environments. Its lightweight 1U metal chassis, internal heat sinks, dual variable-speed cooling fans, comprehensive protection circuitry, and clear front-panel status indicators make the X5.4 a compact and cost-effective amplifier for professional applications.
