  • Key Specs
    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 90W x 2 @ 8 ohms
    • Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Audio Only Inputs: 1 x 3.5mm audio, 1 x Phono, 1 x Optical digital audio, 1 x Coaxial digital audio
    • Preamp Outputs: true
  • General
    • Brand: JBL
    • Model Number: JBLSA550AM
    • Product Name: SA550 2.0-Ch. Bluetooth Integrated Amplifier with AptX Adaptive
    • Color: Silver
  • Audio
    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 90W x 2 @ 8 ohms
    • Maximum Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 150W x 2 @ 4 ohms (This is the maximum load the speaker, subwoofer or amp can drive.)
    • Total Power Handling: 500 watts (How much amplifier (amplified) power (wattage) that can be handled before damaging the product.)
    • Number of Channels: 2 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 20 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.002 percent (Measurement of the harmonic sound distortion. The lower the percentage, the cleaner the sound.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 20 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Amplifier Class: G (An amplifier's mode of operation, specifically the conditions in which its electrical current flows for the duration of an audio signal, determines its class. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to power efficiency, levels of crossover distortion, and overall sound quality.)
    • Amplifier Type: Integrated amplifiers
    • Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): 106 decibels (The ratio of the desired signal's strength to the level of background noise. A ratio higher than 1:1, which equates to greater than 0 decibels, indicates more signal than noise.)
    • Bass Boost: None (Circuitry that boosts the bass response of the amplifier, improving audio reproduction enhancing the sound of low frequencies. Fixed boost means the level of bass response is preset, whereas variable boost allows the user to make adjustments.)
  • Inputs
    • Audio Only Inputs: 1 x 3.5mm audio, 1 x Phono, 1 x Optical digital audio, 1 x Coaxial digital audio
    • Speaker-Level Inputs: false (Also referred to as high-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device that does not have RCA, or low-level, inputs.)
    • Line-Level Inputs: true (Also referred to as low-level inputs. Enables the amplifier to receive a sound signal from another device via RCA cables.)
  • Outputs
    • Preamp Outputs: true
    • Speaker Connection Type: RCA
  • Features
    • Fan Cooled: false
    • Bridgeable: false (Bridging an amplifier increases the power it supplies to the speaker(s).)
  • Connectivity
    • Wireless Multi-Room Audio: false (Technology that allows multiple speakers and/or soundbars to be connected wirelessly and play audio in separate rooms.)
  • Dimensions
