The unique cylinder design lets the listener position
the critical directional components exactly where
needed, regardless of the distance between cabinets,
without the need to move the main cabinet into a pre-
carious balance position. The electrical connections
are made through the ends of the cylinder; the cylinder
can be turned in any direction, continuously, without
damage. In fact, rotating the cylinder simply cleans the
contacts.
The Amplifier
The Trident HG3 power amplifier section is made up
of three identical high powered MOS amplifier mod-
ules, noted for their low distortion, wide band width,
and low noise levels. A unique "muting circuit" pre-
vents thumps at turn on/off. Two modules are used to
power the woofer section, and a separate module is
used for the mids and highs.
Overall Distortion is typically around 0.05% and the
noise level is typically below -104 dB. A unique
warning LED is built into the front panel of the Tri-
dent HG3 that changes from green to red as you begin
to approach audible distortion levels (above 1%).
Three sets of inputs allow for both Balanced (XLR
and TRS) and unbalanced (TS and RCA) connections.
The dual-color LED on the front of the cabinet shows
both power on (Green) and distortion (Red).
