Realistic / Radio shack / Altai / Soundlab MPA100.

Can't recall if this one has been posted before, but anyway, here we are, late 80's, first of the taiwan/chinesey PA amps.

Been sitting in a friends garage the past 25 years. Works fine, even the meters still light up.

Don't think this will do 4kw bridged into 2 ohms though.
Be seeing you.

Nice. That's the one I used in the mid 90s to drive a pair of RCF CDs.

If got two of these hooked up to my DAB tuner in my workshop. Quite sturdy & they will put out slightly more than the rated power. I'm sure I heard someone say that they were made by Pyle in the US, no idea if that is true though.

Was reading 31.9v per channel at onset of clipping into 8 ohms, which equates to 120w @ 8 ohms.

Says on the back panel "Taiwan",(Altai factory i believe), but these were sold in the USA under the Radio Shack brand, which might explain the US connection.

By the time Radio Shack embroidered this amplifier it was no longer popular to the masses. I recall Pyramid was toting this amplifier in the 1980's before Radio Shack added this amplifier to it's catalogue.
Amplifiers of such caliber were popular in small Israeli owned electronic stores in the mid to late 1980's.
