RideAmp is a multi-channel audio amplifier that is purpose-built for onboard applications like dark rides, coasters, trams, and parades.
At Alcorn McBride, we are dedicated to creating tools that enable attraction designers to completely immerse guests in the themed world that they have envisioned. When it comes to high-profile attractions, ride vehicles with onboard audio systems often play a key role in this vision.
RideAmp-25H is the newest member of our RideAmp audio amplifier products, which are specifically designed for vehicles used in themed attractions. It provides 16-channels of amplification capable of delivering 30W of output power per channel. The high channel count and output power make this product ideal for driving small-to-medium size speakers, which are often plentiful on ride vehicles. For situations where you need a little extra oomph, outputs can be bridged to deliver up to 55W of output power to your speakers.
When combined with the incredible capabilities of RidePlayer, RideAmp delivers features never before seen in a vehicle amplifier. This includes Dante/AES67 network audio input for all-digital signal distribution, protecting your audio experience from the electrical noise introduced by the motors and actuators in the vehicle. This same connection also enables intelligent control and status monitoring, allowing you to report the health of the entire onboard audio system to maintenance staff without requiring direct access to the vehicle.
RideAmp delivers the performance and quality of a professional amplifier from a compact and rugged package that’s tough enough to survive a coaster. Vibration-resistant design, efficient DC power input, software-controlled gain, rugged connectors, and flexible mounting options make this product ideal for even the toughest onboard audio applications.
