COMPETITION CHALLENGER
A new approach in competition amplifiers is here...The
LINEAR POWER™
502HV
©
amplifier is a 25-watt per channel amplifier with extremely low distortion
and lots of dynamic headroom. We have utilized
TO-3
transistors throughout the
amplifier for the highest reliability and unmatched sound quality.
LINEAR POWER™
designers and engineers listened to the suggestions of
seasoned competitors to find the right foundation for this amplifier. We chose an
amplifier that has been tried and tested in challenging situations. We then took
the next step of deciding on an operating format that went against conventional
competition designs.
LINEAR POWER™
engineers were convinced that the
HV
©
(
HIGH VOLTAGE)
competition amplifier would be much more stable and
controllable, establishing high damping factor and unmatched dynamic
headroom, than ANY high current design amp. Distortion at rated power is
extremely low and the unregulated power supply is capable of delivering serious
output when needed -
NOT to extremely low impedances
-
but to higher
impedances where sound quality can be assured
. This can be done due to
the extreme
HIGH VOLTAGE
design of the
HV
©
amplifier. There is no need to
have low impedance loads to stress the amplifier to make power. The minimum
operating impedance of the
502HV
©
is
2 ohms stereo
or
4 ohms mono
,
eliminating the need for multiple drivers to lower the impedance load to get
maximum power output. A benefit of
HIGH VOLTAGE
design is less heat and
lower current draw from your electrical system, at the same time, delivering the
power that you want.
Features include the
LINEAR POWER™ DYNAMICS IMPROVING
PROCESSOR
©
or
D.I.P. "Bass Boost" switch, which adds
6dB
of gain at
45 Hz
for that additional 'OOMPH', if needed. The
502HV
©
also has an inverted channel
so that the amp will bridge without he use of an internal bridge switch or external
bridging module. This inverted channel also allows the
502HV
©
to play in
stereo/mono mode simultaneously. With all the
502HV
©
delivers, it could be the
final element needed to dominate competitions.
