ESCRIPTION
The P4000 trans•nova DIAMOND (patent pending) amplifier is perfect for many
studio monitoring, touring sound and fixed installations. It features Jim
Strickland’s trans•nova circuitry (patent #4467288) and
his brilliant discovery, Dynamically Invariant
AMplification Optimized Nodal Drive. The DIAMOND
transconductance driver stage combines the linear-
ity of Class A operation with the current headroom
of a Class B system resulting in a significant ad-
vancement in the art of power amplifier design. The sonic
result of all this unique technology is very easily heard. The P4000 presents
a deep, wide sound stage with incredible musical transparency and detail.
New LED indicators allow visually monitoring the operating status of each
channel. The Thermal and Short indicators light when these protection cir-
cuits have been activated. The Clip indicator assists in protecting the speak-
ers by showing when the amp is overdriven and the output signal is distorted.
The Signal indicator lights to show the presence of an audio signal.
