The T+A PA 2000 R is a high-performance integrated stereo amplifier combining proprietary High Voltage (HV) technology, double-mono circuit architecture and a sophisticated power supply in an exceptionally slim aluminum chassis. Delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 200 watts into 4 ohms and 300 watts into 2 ohms, the PA 2000 R offers substantial current delivery for demanding high-end loudspeakers.

Engineered and manufactured in Germany, the PA 2000 R incorporates discrete amplification circuitry, precision relay-controlled signal switching, balanced analog inputs and an exceptionally wide frequency response.

Its 60,000µF power supply reservoir, low-feedback output stage and carefully regulated power supply provide the electrical foundation for accurate, dynamic music reproduction.

Designed as the compact integrated amplifier in T+A's R Series, the PA 2000 R combines reference-level engineering with straightforward operation and extensive system integration capabilities.

High Voltage Amplification and Double-Mono Architecture

The PA 2000 R incorporates T+A's proprietary HV amplification technology, developed to increase signal headroom and maintain exceptional linearity.

Its double-mono architecture separates the left and right amplification channels, helping preserve stereo separation and accurate spatial reproduction.

The amplifier employs newly developed output stages with extremely low negative feedback, minimizing signal correction while maintaining stable operation.

With a power amplifier frequency response extending from 1Hz to 150kHz, the PA 2000 R is engineered to reproduce musical transients and complex harmonic information with precision.

300-Watt Output Capability into 2 Ohms

Despite its compact chassis, the PA 2000 R provides substantial output power across a range of loudspeaker impedances.

• 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms

• 200 watts per channel into 4 ohms

• 300 watts per channel into 2 ohms

Its ability to deliver increased output into lower impedances makes it particularly suitable for loudspeakers requiring strong current delivery.

A 60V/µs slew rate, damping factor greater than 65 and total harmonic distortion below 0.02% support accurate transient response and controlled low-frequency reproduction.

Advanced High-Stability Power Supply

The PA 2000 R incorporates a specially developed power supply designed to remain stable during demanding musical peaks.

Unlike conventional designs that can experience supply voltage fluctuations under heavy load, T+A's regulated architecture maintains consistent operating conditions.

A substantial 60,000µF reservoir capacitance supports dynamic current delivery, allowing the amplifier to reproduce demanding passages without compromising control.

The power supply and amplification circuitry are engineered to provide substantial performance within the PA 2000 R's low-profile chassis.

Precision Analog Preamplifier

The PA 2000 R includes a sophisticated analog preamplifier with extremely low measured distortion.

Its preamplifier stage achieves:

• Frequency response of 0.5Hz–300kHz

• Total harmonic distortion below 0.001%

• Intermodulation distortion below 0.001%

• Channel separation greater than 90dB

• Signal-to-noise ratio of 109dB A-weighted

Gas-tight, gold-contact relays handle input selection and internal signal switching, maintaining reliable connections while minimizing unnecessary components in the audio signal path.

Independent bass and treble controls provide adjustments from -6dB to +8dB, while the variable loudness function can be configured according to loudspeaker sensitivity.

Both tone adjustment and loudness processing can be bypassed for direct signal reproduction.

Balanced XLR and RCA Connectivity

The PA 2000 R accommodates a broad range of premium analog sources.

Three balanced XLR inputs provide connectivity for reference DACs, network streamers and CD players equipped with balanced analog outputs.

Three RCA line-level inputs support additional analog components, including external phono preamplifiers and conventional audio sources.

An RCA preamplifier output allows connection to compatible external amplification or other system components.

A front-panel headphone output provides convenient private listening.

Optional MM and MC Phono Modules

Vinyl enthusiasts can equip the PA 2000 R with an optional internal T+A moving-magnet or moving-coil phono preamplifier module.

The MM module provides 16 selectable capacitance settings, while the MC module offers 16 impedance settings for cartridge matching.

These optional modules replace one standard line-level input and allow direct connection of a compatible turntable without requiring a separate phono stage.

Surround Pass-Through and System Integration

The PA 2000 R supports Surround Pass-Through, allowing integration into a premium multichannel home theater.

Balanced input 3 or unbalanced input 5 can be configured for operation with a compatible surround processor.

This enables the amplifier to power the front left and right loudspeakers for both dedicated stereo listening and home theater playback.

Additional integration features include R2-Link system control, a 5–20V trigger input through an adapter and the included SRC 1 remote control.

Precision Aluminum Construction

The PA 2000 R features a low-profile enclosure measuring just 3.23 inches high, with an extensively machined and brushed aluminum exterior.

Its rigid construction provides mechanical stability and shielding for the sensitive analog circuitry.

Available in Silver Anodized Aluminum and Black Anodized Aluminum, the PA 2000 R complements T+A's R Series music players, digital sources and turntables.
