APC circuitry
constantly analyses incoming music signals and keeps dynamics
alive. An additional ultra fast peak limiter avoids amplifier clipping in case someone hits the
inputs too hard. Please remember, this is a musical amplifier, please leave some headroom
and enjoy the music.
Bridge or stereo mode: more than double the output power and convert this amplifier into a
•
monoblock amplifier with one push on a button.
Minimum load impedance is 8 ohms in
bridge mode.
Protection circuitry: the protection circuitry is another unique design feature of this ampli-
•
fier: together with the APC circuitry, output signals are constantly monitored by the protection
circuits, and speaker outputs will be cut in case of extreme overload, short circuits, DC offset,
overheating… This circuit is also capable (within certain limits) of reducing the input signal to
prevent clipping, distortion and other musically destructive situations. We have done our best to
make sure this amplifier will produce clean power, but
it is also the user who is responsible
for the final result: the APC circuitry can not clean up a clipped input signal, in other
words: what goes in, comes out. Don’t forget to set the impedance selector correctly for
both channels and remember to divide the speaker’s impedance by a factor 2 if you are
planning to use the amplifier in bridge mode ! Example in bridge mode: speaker load = 8
ohms, set channel 1 impedance selector to 8 : 2 = 4 ohms setting (4 – 8 ohms).
Versatile input and output connector configuration with balanced and unbalanced inputs and
•
additional line level signal outputs for linking the signal to other devices for increased flexibility.
The speaker output terminals accept speaker cables as well as 4 mm banana plugs.
Ground lift switch to enable you to find the cause of system ground loops in case of hum or
•
excessive noise.
