Architects and Engineers Specifications

The Stereo Power Amplifier shall mount in a standard 19"

rack, and shall occupy no more than half of one rack unit (1 

3

/

4

")

of rack space. It shall conform to the HR specification, allowing it
to be mounted side by side with other HR units. It shall be of
stereo design but shall be capable of being bridged for mono
operation. There shall be LED indicators for Signal Present and
Overload conditions in each stereo channel. A headphone output
shall be provided and have its own volume control. Provision
shall be made for extending the number of headphones
accommodated by means of accessory Remote Stations, which
shall connect to the unit in daisy-chain fashion using standard
microphone cords.

Connections to speakers shall be via dual banana/binding

post terminals. An XLR connector shall be provided for
connection to Remote Stations. Power output shall be at least 20
watts per channel, into either 4 or 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20 KHz.
Distortion shall be .01% THD or less at full rated power at 1KHz,
and not more than .05% from 20 Hz to 20 KHz. The noise level
shall be at least 99 dB below full rated output. The unit shall be
protected against thermal overload, and shall be able to
withstand a short circuit on either or both outputs for an indefinite
time without damage. A switch shall be provided to select mono
(left input routed to both channels), normal stereo, or bridged
(left input drives a single load of 8 or more ohms to at least 40
watts) operation. The unit shall be internally fused, and shall
have a Ground Lift switch capable of isolating the signal ground
from the chassis. There shall also be an on/off switch with a
power-on indicator. Inputs shall be equipped with
