C2G 40880

Overview

The C2G 40880 is an 8 Ohm audio amplifier designed to deliver a total of 50 Watts of power, with 25 Watts directed to each stereo channel. Its plenum-rated housing allows safe installation above drop ceilings or within air-handling spaces, meeting strict building codes. The compact size, measuring just over four and a half inches wide, makes it easy to fit behind displays or inside lecterns without taking up much space.

Connectivity is straightforward with a 3.5 millimeter input for laptops and phones, plus left and right RCA jacks for media players or in-room computers. The built-in noise reduction circuit actively eliminates hum and buzz caused by shared power sources, ensuring clear and intelligible audio. Automatic energy management puts the amplifier into standby after five minutes of inactivity, conserving power while a 12-volt DC output supports additional devices like wall controllers.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
