Earthquake Engineers, driven by their desire for excellence, pushed the
envelope beyond its limits. They designed the “bi-file” Ferrite/OFC toroidal
transformer circuit witch allows five or seven separate power supplies (one for
each channel) to be magnetically coupled to one huge single primary 4KVA
transformer. The 99% efficient power supply permits large amount of current to
flow through.
The “Alpha One” is a monaural 1000 watt amplification/power block, used in
both the 5-channel and 7-channel Cinénova Grande BR amplifiers. The “Alpha
One” blocks are individually removable using the Earthquake patented “EZXS”
system, without the need to dismantle the rest of the amplifier. Channel
