PROTECTION
1. The MT-600Q’s output circuitry is fully protected from short circuits. An ultrasonic network decouples RF from the output and helps keep the amplifier stable with
reactive loads.
2. The MT-600Q’s external heatsinks do most of the work in getting heat away from the amplifier, in normal operation. A rear mounted variable speed fan provides
extra cooling of the amplifiers internal circuitry as needed. Normally, at low to moderate signal levels, the fan runs at a low speed idle. If the internal temperature
rises above a set level then the fan switches to a higher speed to remove more heat from the inside. If, in the unlikely event the heatsinks should reach 194
degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifier will mute, until it cools down enough for safe operation. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the heatsinks if you
plan on rack mounting the MT-600Q in an enclosed space.
3. The MT-600Q is fully protected from shorts, opens, over-current, and over-voltage. A relay disconnects the outputs under any of these fault conditions and
automatically returns to normal operation once the fault is removed.
4. The amplifier is stable into loads as low as 2 ohms (stereo mode), and 4 ohms (bridged mode) when used in a fixed or permanent installation. However, for
continuous operation of all channels at mid to high signal levels, the amplifier should be operated with a minimum load of 4 ohms per channel in stereo mode
and 8 ohms per channel in bridged mode, otherwise the overload and thermal protection circuitry may cycle the amplifier on and off as it protects itself.
