Exceedingly versatile power amplifier
The TA 1400 MK-X stands out as an immensely dependable power amplifier from Thomann's in-house brand the t.amp, offering a solid foundation for a variety of audio setups. On its rear panel, two outputs are provided in both Speaker Twist and terminal block formats, while each channel delivers 850W into 4 ohms and 570W into 8 ohms, ensuring generous headroom for clear, distortion-free performance in rehearsal spaces, bars, or live venues. When switched to bridge mode, it can also power a single subwoofer with ease, adding depth and punch to the low end, especially for electronic music. With built-in protection circuits and an integrated limiter to prevent overload, this amplifier will function perfectly at the heart of almost any typical PA system, where it can be relied on for consistent, flexible sound.

Straightforward operation, flexible options
The TA 1400 keeps operation straightforward and intuitive, with just two volume controls for the channels, while their LEDs provide clear feedback on input levels and warn of any distortion or faults at a glance. All connections are neatly arranged on the rear panel, where lockable NL4 sockets ensure a secure link to traditional PA speakers, alongside screw terminals that allow easy connection to hi-fi speakers when needed. A wide range of line sources can be connected via the XLR and jack inputs, from compact audio interfaces to everyday playback devices. This flexibility supports anything from a classic stereo setup for live venues to entertainers performing with a mic and backing track in spaces like halls or gardens. Multiple operating modes add another subtle layer of adaptability.
)
Stereo, parallel or bridge mode
The TA 1400 MK-X offers three operating modes, Stereo, Parallel and Bridge, allowing it to adapt smoothly to different audio setups with minimal effort. In Stereo mode, both outputs handle a standard stereo signal for typical PA use, while Parallel mode routes the signal from Input A to both channels with independently adjustable volume, making it ideal when a single source needs different levels across two areas. In either configuration, the available power is more than sufficient to fill even larger everyday venues with sound, as long as the scenario doesn't require extreme volume levels. Bridge mode combines the full output of both channels into a single, more powerful signal delivered through the red terminals, making it possible to drive most subwoofers with as much wattage as they can take. The ground lift switch on the rear panel helps eliminate unwanted noise caused by ground loops, ensuring clean and reliable performance.
