TECHNICAL DISCRIPTION
Power Supply:
Self oscillating for reliability and efficiency. The transformer is
epoxy dipped for extreme vibration resistance. Banks of high-speed
TO-3
switching transistors provide massive current reserves.
Output Stages:
Transformerless, direct coupled and fully complimentary. Output
transistors are high current and low distortion
TO-3
devices, operating at a
fraction of their limitations.
Protection:
Our stable amplifier design is made virtually indestructible by three
protection circuits. One is a precision thermal protection circuit, which prevents
damage from high frequency oscillation, or an excessive ambient temperature.
The second protection circuit is a current sensing device guarding against
instantaneous abnormalities, such as short circuits. Both of these circuits
automatically reset. The third form of protection guards against component
damage from reversed power connections.
Construction Features:
Our unique, variable input sensitivity control permits
optimal signal matching for lowest noise and lowest distortion with virtually any
source. All components used are rated for at least 150% of their intended use,
and are mounted on double-sided fiberglass epoxy circuit boards.
Quality Control:
In-house construction of critical components like transformer
and chassis, as well as total assembly, allows
LINEAR POWER™
to maintain
uniform quality.
100%
of the finished units are tested, then burned in for four
hours, and tested again. Amplifiers, which pass this rigorous test, have truly
earned the
LINEAR POWER™
logo.
INSTRUCTIONS
Read the following instructions through completely. If they appear to complex, we
recommend you have an authorized
LINEAR POWER™
dealer do the work.
MOUNTING
1. The amplifier works best if it is kept as cool as possible. Mount in a position
that allows air to flow freely through the fins. Be sure there is ample space above
the amplifier to avoid trapping heated air rising from the amplifier. The amplifier
should not be mounted upside down. Avoid mounting any amplifier in the dash or
on the firewall to avoid noises being radiated directly onto the case.
2. Mount the amplifier in a position that allows ample room for gain adjustments,
and the installation, removal and attachment of leads.
