APC power management circuitry
constantly analyses incoming music signals
and keeps dynamics alive. An additional ultra fast peak limiter avoids amplifier clipping in case
someone hits the inputs too hard. Please remember, this is a musical amplifier, please leave
some headroom and enjoy the music.
APC also allows you to configure the amplifier to your specific needs: average RMS output
•
power is programmable from 150 to 600 watts. Under all circumstances dynamic headroom is
respected as long as you don’t overload the input stage. This circuit can also be used as an
environmental noise limiter.
Output sound selection: tube emulation circuitry for authentic sound from tube amplifiers. Solid

for normal use. Try to find out and discover the subtle sonic differences.
Bridge or stereo mode: double the output power and convert this amplifier into a monoblock
•
amplifier with one push on a button. Minimum load impedance is 8 ohms in bridge mode.
Protection circuitry: the protection circuitry is another unique design feature of this amplifier:
•
together with the APC circuitry, output signals are constantly monitored by the protection circuit,
and speaker outputs will be cut in case of extreme overload, short circuits, DC offset, overheat
-
ing… This circuit is also capable (within certain limits) of reducing the input signal to prevent
clipping, distortion and other musically destructive situations. We have done our best to make
sure this amplifier will produce clean power, but
it is also the user who is responsible for the
final result
.
Versatile in- and output connector configuration for increased installation flexibility.

User protected power and sound setting switches at the rear, accessible behind a removable

cover plate.
Ground lift switch to enable you to find the cause of system ground loops.
