About the Dreadnaught

The Theta Digital Dreadnaught is a high-performance modular multi-channel power amplifier designed for audiophile and home theater applications. It supports 2 to 10 channels, with power ratings of 225 watts per channel into 8 ohms for mono or stereo modules, and up to 500 watts into 8 ohms for bridged mono modules. The amplifier features both single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs with an input impedance of 47 kOhms and a gain of 27.8 dB. It uses class-D amplification technology in the Dreadnaught D model, delivering world-class performance and flexibility. The chassis dimensions are approximately 17.7" (W) x 8" (H) x 19.75" (D), and the fully loaded unit weighs about 98.5 lbs. The amplifier includes advanced features such as ThermalTrak output transistors for improved reliability and distortion reduction, Ultra Soft Start circuitry to prevent power surges, and modular plug-and-play amplifier modules that can be added or replaced to expand channel count. It supports remote control via RS232 and trigger inputs, making it suitable for integration with home automation systems. The Dreadnaught series is known for its detailed, dynamic sound reproduction with excellent bass control and clarity across multi-channel soundtracks.
