Power amplifier.

A mainstay of the popular Servo amplifier line, the 260 can be used to power near field monitors, passive headphone distribution systems in the studio, and small live sound reinforcement setups. It is also a great choice for stereo keyboard or guitar amp setups with external mixer or preamps or amplifying a large screen TV or video system. The Servo 260 is dedicated to transparent audio, consistent performance, and the rugged construction you need from a professional amplifier.

Great bang for the buck, simple to use, quiet and light.
Sound
Clean and quiet. Not a whole lot of "womp" like your bigger amps, but very smooth. I use it to power two sets of floor monitors for my wife's vocal group and it sounds great on stage.
Features
Power button, lights, Knobs. What more do you need?
Quality
Solid. Stays cool even when being pushed. The lack of a fan is a plus in the smaller rooms we tend to play.
Value
Good solid power amp.
Manufacturer Support
