OPERATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, with all the auto sound equipment available on the market
today, decisions are not always easy. At
LINEAR POWER™,
we offer what no
other company can: Since
1975
we have manufactured the best audio equipment
for your car. Also, all
HV

Series
amplifiers have a
6-year
warranty is given to
assure your investment in a
LINEAR POWER™
product was a wise choice. As
expected, you will also see new ideas and products ranging from amplifiers to
crossovers to preamps.
TECHNICAL DISCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY:
Our unique mosfet driven converter utilizing bipolar switching
transistors offers greater reliability and efficiency. The regulation of the supply
provides only the required amount of output current under all operating
conditions. This new technology uses our proprietary
FMB
©
(fixed modulation
block)
circuitry which marries mosfets with high power
TO-3
bipolar switching
devices to bring you the best of both worlds. It gives the renowned reliability of
the massive
TO-3
bipolar transistor and the increased efficiency of the mosfet
transistor. The brains behind the power supply is the
FMB

housed in the black
box at the end of the amp, this controls two reference mosfet transistors which
drive the bipolar
TO-3
switching devices along each side of the amp, providing
large and fast amounts of power to run the amplifier.
Output Stages:
Transformer less, direct coupled and fully complimentary.
Output transistors are high current and low distortion
TO-3
devices, operating at
a fraction of their limitations. In 8
-ohm mono
, the output devices in the
4.1HVS

work 5
0%
of their design capabilities as engineered by Motorola.
Linear
Power™
products are seriously over built!
PROTECTION:
Since the
4.1HVS
©
is capable of enormous amounts of output
power, it is protected from short circuit and undersized load conditions. It is also
protected against high ambient temperatures by thermal protection.
