88C03

The Linea Research 88C03 (often listed as the 88C3) is a high-precision, 8-channel installation amplifier designed for environments that require multiple independent audio zones without the need for massive, high-SPL power. Delivering a total of 3,200 Watts RMS in a compact 2U chassis, it is the perfect solution for high-end retail, luxury hospitality, and corporate offices.

By offering eight channels of sonically pure amplification, the 88C03 allows you to drive everything from high-fidelity ceiling speakers to small-format monitors with absolute clarity and control.
