Bose Professional Veritas 2160BH 2-Channel Power Amplifier 3200W 70V/100V

Delivering a massive 1600 watts per channel into 2-8 ohms or 70V/100V constant voltage systems, the Bose Professional Veritas 2160BH is a dual-channel power amplifier engineered for demanding installed sound applications. With a total output of 3200 watts, this 2U rack-mountable amplifier combines high efficiency Class D topology with integrated DSP and network control, making it a versatile powerhouse for auditoriums, houses of worship, and performance venues.

Overview

The Veritas 2160BH is part of Bose Professional's Veritas series, designed to provide reliable, high-output amplification with advanced signal processing. It features two independent channels, each capable of driving low-impedance loads down to 2 ohms or high-voltage distributed lines at 70V or 100V. The amplifier's universal power supply accepts 100-240 VAC, and its variable-speed fans maintain optimal thermal performance with front-to-rear airflow. Comprehensive protection circuitry safeguards against over-temperature, DC, high-frequency, short-circuit, inrush current, and peak voltage conditions.

What stands out

• Extremely high power density: 1600 W per channel at 2-8 Ω or 70V/100V, totaling 3200 W in a 2U chassis.
• Integrated DSP with ControlSpace Designer software for precise system tuning and loudspeaker protection.
• Flexible connectivity: balanced XLR inputs and Euroblock loudspeaker outputs for secure, permanent installations.
• Network control via Ethernet (RJ-45) enables remote monitoring and configuration.
• Class D amplifier technology ensures high efficiency and low heat generation.
• Robust protection features and universal power supply for global deployment.
