DC Offset Protection
This system senses if any direct current (DC) is present at the 750 output
terminals and disconnects the output to avoid potential speaker damage. DC
may be present due to ancillary equipment feeding DC into the input or an
amplifier fault.
Short-Circuit/Overdrive Protection
This system senses if there is a short circuit across the 750 output terminals and
disconnects the output to avoid amplifier damage. It also senses if the 750 is
being driven outside acceptable operational parameters. An example of this
would be driving a 1
Ω speaker at very high levels.
Note: After the short circuit or overdrive source is removed, the 750 must be
turned off then back on to reset and resume operation.
Thermal Protection
This system senses if the 750 is overheating and disconnects the output until a
safe operating temperature is reached, at which time the unit will automatically
resume normal operation.
Earthing
Perreaux engineers pay particular attention to designing the product to ensure
maximum separation between internal signal and power earths, only meeting at a
central starred point.
Earth
Isolation
Switch
The toggle switch on the rear of the 750 allows the internal circuitry to be
isolated from the mains earth, whilst still maintaining an earth connection to the
chassis. This ensures the potentially fatal practice of using an AC cord-set with
no earth connection, to alleviate system hum, is not required.
Highest
Quality PCBs
and
Components
Quality fibreglass PCBs, featuring heavy copper tracks and high-grade
components, are used throughout the 750. This provides added stability under
variable thermal or electrical loads and assures maximum signal integrity,
separation and product life.
Bi-Wiring
Made Easy
Dual pairs of binding posts allow bi-wiring of speakers to be conducted easily.
Soft-Start
Circuitry
The 750 utilises soft-start circuitry to protect the fuses and/or circuit breakers in
your home’s mains power supply. Without this circuit, the huge inrush current
required to charge the 60,000µF of power supply smoothing capacitance can
blow the fuses or trip the circuit breakers.
Highly
Powered
Capable of continuously delivering 750W
RMS
into 8 Ω (1300W
RMS
into 4 Ω ), the
750 is highly powered. Utilising sixteen high current Toshiba M OSFETs, the
750 handles even the most difficult loads with ease.
