5 Welcome
Congratulations on buying a Outline M5000-4 amplifier!
Outline is a leading company in the field of high efficiency
audio power management. The Outline Class D technology
has changed the way the world looks at professional audio
amplification: no other amplifier’s performance comes close for
applications demanding high power and long term reliability.
Thanks to amazing reductions in heat output and weight, without
sacrificing output powers, Outline amplifiers can be used in an
unlimited range of PA applications such as opera houses, theaters,
churches, cinema, and theme parks.
applications. This amplifier offer smaller dimensions, lighter weight
and the traditionally amazing sound quality and reliability of all
Outline products. M5000-4 amplifier have power ratings suitable for
a vast range of common applications including 70V/100V distributed
line systems
M5000-4 amplifier is specifically designed for touring and live
6.1 More sound and less weight
Switching mode technology based amplifiers are highly
efficient, delivering greater power to speakers with reduced heat
dissipation: typical running efficiency of output stages is 95%, with
only 5% of input energy dissipated as heat. This allows for smaller
dimensions, weight and power consumptions.
Contrary to conventional amplifiers which achieve highest
efficiency only at full rated power output, Class D efficiency is
almost independent of output level. Music has an average power
density of 40% of its peak value; this means that other (non-
class D) amplifiers can easily generate 10 times more heat than
Outline products for the same sound pressure level.
The M5000-4 amplifier is designed to work with lo-Z (from
4
Ω
) and with 70V/100V distributed lines. It can deliver up to
1250 W per channel (at 4
or 250 0 W in bridge mode on 8
Ω
.
Ω
)
Outline amplifiers deliver crystal-clear highs, and a tight,
well-defined low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio
signal. Solid time proven design features ensure extremely high
performance in terms of super low total harmonic distortion,
optimal frequency response, high power bandwidth and damping
factor across a vast number of application scenarios.
Multi patented application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
high frequency sampling techniques is just one of the many factors
contributing to the M5000-4 high performance ratings across the
audio bandwidth.
The M5000-4 offers complete protection against any possible
operation error. It is designed to work under a large range of
possible conditions, delivering maximum power with maximum
safety and an outstanding long term reliability. Anticipating
potential problems at the design stage means your show always
goes on!
7.1 Unpacking
Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any noticeable
damage; the FIGURE 4 shows the packing view. Every Outline
amplifier is completely tested and inspected before leaving the
factory and should arrive in pristine condition. In the unlikely event
that you should encounter any damage, please notify the shipping
company immediately. Be sure to save all packing materials for the
carrier’s inspection.
