TAS3251: Partybox audio amp selection

Part Number: TAS3251
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TAS5825P

Total output power: 500W = Woofer 150W*2 + Tweeter 50W*4

Can we choose 2*TAS3251+4*TAS5825P ?

I'm not sure if it makes sense to use 6 devices.

  • Hi,

    We'll get back to you later after the investigation.

  • Hi,

    This is a possible option if digital input is needed, but a few changes can be made.

    First, the TAS3251 can output 175W into 3 Ohms in BTL mode so no need for two devices in PBTL. Just make sure they do decent thermal designing.

    Second, if a pad down device is necessary, then the TAS5827 could be used which can do 55W output into two 4 ohm speakers (10%THD), but thermals will be trickier to manage due to pad down nature. Because the customer is already using a heatsink for the TAS3251, I would recommend the TAS5828M which can do the 2x50W no problem since it uses a heat sink.

    Regards,
