circuitry,
their value increases. Versatile capabilities such as stereo, mono or mixed
stereo/mono operation and 2 ohm capability make these amplifiers extremely
desirable to build an entire system around or begin a system.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The
"IQ
©
"
series amplifiers are a series of inverted channel
("I")
amplifiers. A
quiet turn on circuit
("Q")
has been added for improved performance. The
amplifier design incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic
headroom and efficiency. The
TO-3
output stages of these amplifiers will deliver
a significant increase in power into 2-ohm stereo loads. Amplifier reliability is
accomplished by operating the output transistors at
50%
of their maximum rating
even into a 2-ohm stereo load.
CONSTRUCTION
Power Supply:
Self oscillating for reliability and efficiency. The transformer is
epoxy dipped for extreme vibration resistance. Banks of high-speed
TO-3
switching transistors provide massive current reserves. The amplifier design
incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic headroom and
efficiency.
Output Stages:
Transformerless, direct coupled and fully complimentary. Output
transistors are high current and low distortion
TO-3
devices, operating at a
fraction of their limitations. In
4-ohm stereo
, the output devices in the
5002IQ
work at less than
30%
of their design capabilities as engineered by Motorola.
