DS-1000 Overview: GaN-Powered Lightweight Amplifier for Touring


The AUWAY DS-1000 is a premium professional power amplifier that leverages cutting-edge GaN (Gallium Nitride) Technology to deliver massive power with exceptional sound quality. As a compact 2U rack-mount unit (483x310x88MM), it defies expectations with its output: 2x1000W @8Ω (stereo), 2x1800W @4Ω (low-impedance), and bridged outputs of 3600W @8Ω and 5000W @4Ω. What makes the DS-1000 a game-changer is its GaN advantage: unmatched power efficiency, faster thermal management, and a lightweight design (6.25KG net weight) that’s perfect for touring. It also features a >500 damping factor (8Ω, 10Hz-400Hz) for precise speaker control and a 28V/us slew rate for capturing fast transients (e.g., drum hits). This amplifier is built for critical applications—professional touring, large venue installations, and broadcast studios—where every watt, gram, and decibel matters.

DS-1000 Core Advantages: GaN Efficiency & Tour-Ready Durability


GaN Technology (50% Lighter & 30% More Efficient)

• Unmatched power density: Delivers 2x1000W @8Ω in a 2U, 6.25KG chassis—50% lighter than comparable Class AB amplifiers, making it easy to transport for touring (e.g., loading into tour buses, carrying to festival stages).

• Superior efficiency: GaN components reduce power loss by 30% compared to traditional Class D amplifiers, cutting operational costs and heat generation—ideal for long tours or 24/7 installations.

• Faster thermal management: GaN dissipates heat 40% faster than silicon, preventing overheating during high-power runs (e.g., 2-hour concert sets) and extending component lifespan.


Studio-Grade Audio Performance (Wide Response & High SNR)

<0.05% THD (20Hz-20KHz): Ultra-low distortion across the entire frequency range, preserving the integrity of live performances, studio monitors, or broadcast audio.

5Hz-20KHz (+0/-0.1dB) frequency response (1W): Wider and more precise than standard amplifiers, capturing deep sub-bass (5Hz) and ultra-high frequencies (20KHz)—perfect for orchestral music, electronic, or broadcast sound.

>500 damping factor (8Ω, 10Hz-400Hz): Tighter bass control than most pro amplifiers, eliminating speaker resonance and ensuring punchy, accurate low-end (critical for subwoofers and large PA speakers).

A-weighted >110dB SNR: Ultra-high signal-to-noise ratio, minimizing background noise (e.g., hum, hiss) and ensuring clean audio even at low volumes (e.g., studio monitoring).


Tour-Ready Durability (Heavy-Gauge Chassis & Full Protection)

• Road-ready 2U chassis: Constructed with heavy-gauge steel to withstand touring rigors (e.g., vibration, loading/unloading, minor impacts).

• Comprehensive protection: Includes short circuit protection, DC fault protection, and radio interference protection—safeguards the amplifier and speakers from damage in harsh environments (e.g., outdoor festivals, noisy electrical setups).

• Fast transient response (28V/us slew rate): Captures quick audio peaks (e.g., drum strikes, guitar riffs) without clipping, ensuring dynamic performances sound natural.


DS-1000 Usage Scenarios: Touring, Large Venues & Broadcast


Professional Touring (Main PA & Festival Stages)

• Main system amplification for touring acts: Powers main PA speakers for medium to large venues (500–1000 attendees), delivering enough headroom to handle dynamic music peaks (e.g., rock concerts, electronic festivals).

• Touring monitor systems: Drives stage monitors for bands, with low distortion ensuring musicians hear themselves clearly over the crowd—critical for tight performances.

• Festival stage sound: Performs reliably in outdoor conditions (when paired with weatherproof speakers) and uses GaN efficiency to handle high ambient temperatures.


Large Venue Installation (Theaters & Mega-Churches)

• Theaters and concert halls: Powers line arrays or main PA speakers, capturing the nuance of live performances (e.g., opera, ballet, symphonies) and delivering even sound across large audiences.

• Worship facilities (mega-churches): Drives large speaker systems for 1000+ congregations, ensuring speech and music are clear in every section of the venue.

• Sports arenas (small to medium): Powers speakers for announcements, music, or live commentary, with high damping factor ensuring bass cuts through crowd noise.


High-End Production (Broadcast & Recording Studios)

• Broadcast studio monitoring: Delivers clean, accurate audio for TV/radio broadcast monitors, ensuring sound engineers hear every detail (e.g., vocal intonation, background music levels).

• Recording studio monitoring: Powers reference monitors for music production, with low THD and wide frequency response ensuring mixes translate well to other systems (e.g., headphones, car stereos).

• Post-production facilities: Handles audio for film/TV post-production, capturing subtle sound effects (e.g., ambient noise, dialogue) and ensuring clarity in final mixes.


DS-1000 FAQs: GaN Benefits & Weight for Touring


What makes GaN technology better than silicon in the DS-1000?

GaN (Gallium Nitride) has three key advantages over silicon:

1. Higher power density: Delivers more power in a smaller, lighter chassis (the DS-1000 is 6.25KG vs. 30KG+ for silicon Class AB amplifiers).

2. Better efficiency: Reduces power loss by 30%, cutting electricity costs and heat.

3. Faster switching: Handles fast audio transients (e.g., drum hits) more accurately, improving sound quality.

These benefits make GaN ideal for touring (lightweight) and high-demand installations (efficient, powerful).


How light is the DS-1000, and why does that matter for touring?

The DS-1000 has a net weight of 6.25KG and gross weight of 7.3KG—significantly lighter than comparable amplifiers (e.g., 30KG+ for Class AB models). This matters for touring because:

• It reduces load-in/load-out time (easier to carry).

• Saves space in tour buses/vehicles (fits more gear).

• Lowers shipping costs (lighter packages cost less to transport).


Can the DS-1000 connect to professional audio gear?

Yes. It features balanced XLR inputs (compatible with mixers, preamps, and audio interfaces) and industry-standard Speakon output connectors (for secure speaker connections). The high SNR (>110dB) and low THD ensure noise-free signal transmission from gear to speakers.


What protection features does the DS-1000 include?

The DS-1000 includes comprehensive protection to prevent damage:

Short circuit protection: Shuts down output if speakers or wiring short, preventing amplifier and speaker damage.

DC fault protection: Mutes output if a DC signal is detected (common with faulty wiring), protecting speakers from burnout.

Radio interference protection: Filters out RF interference (e.g., from wireless microphones, LED controllers), ensuring clean audio.
