GENERAL INFORMATION
ME Amplifiers Melbourne, Australia
WHY YOUR ME AMPLIFIER IS DIFFERENT
ME Amplifiers are very different from other Commercial Amplifier designs.
First – they are capable of very high continuous output currents. This enables your loudspeakers to perform to
their ultimate capabilities.
Second – they are non-inverting (0 degrees) wide bandwidth designs, and consequently able to articulate very
fast short duration transients that would ordinarily escape more conventional amplifiers.
Third – in order to minimize all forms of transmission losses in the signal (music) path, only short, high current
connections are used.
For the safety of your loudspeakers a sophisticated microcontroller based protection system forms the heart
and intelligence of your ME580.
The intelligence of the automatic protection system in your ME580:
•
Maintains operating temperature within an optimum range by independently analyzing the
temperature of each output heat sink and the interior of the case, and making small adjustments to
the cooling fan speeds when necessary.
•
Samples the output and determines its suitability for your loudspeakers and turns the amplifier off if a
dangerous condition is sensed.
•
Turns the amplifier off if it exceeds a dangerous operating temperature.
These are some of the differences between ME amplifiers and other amplifiers. Because of the sophisticated
protection system in your ME580, some installation problems, such as inadequate ventilation, may be
highlighted. You can be confident that once these are resolved, better performance will be obtained, not only
to the credit of ME amplifiers but because the system configuration has been optimized.
Please refer to the problem solving flow charts at the end of this guide if you have any problems, before
reporting the results to your dealer or ME Amplifiers.
The ability of ME amplifiers to articulate extremely fine signals accurately has in many cases been interpreted
as a deficiency in the sound quality from the ME product. The fact is, if a poor quality input source is used (CD
etc.) its character WILL be exposed because the ME amplifier will faithfully reproduce all its characteristics,
both good and bad.
