Headroom, Sensitivity and VPL/Gain settings
NOTE
NOTE
The input amplifier and limiter system is designed to accommodate extreme of performance.
Typically, exceeding maximum input by much as +10dB will only result in a 1% increase in
distortion. The following schematics illustrate how the adjustable VPL and Gain circuitry
affect input sensitivity and output power.
The tables of the figure 4 showed input sensitivity for TD-10000Q with 2 ohm load and 141V
peak (max.) and 42V peak (min.) respectively for the eight different gain stages between
+23dB and +44dB. The resulting output power is displayed in dBu, Vrms and Watts in the
tables to the far right.
The headroom available through the input stage to the clip limiter is shown by the dotted
lines as +10dB at 141V peak and +20.4dB at 42V peak. These lines illustrate the additional
signal level that can be accepted at the input before any significant distortion will appear at
the input stage.
If you use the level potentiometer in the signal chain to reduce the level by an
amount greater than the headroom relative to input sensitivity, AND you drive the
amplifier to clip level, you are in danger of clipping the input stage before the
current or voltage peak limiters are activated.
When bridging two channels, you must add +6dB to the input sensitivity to
achieve maximum output voltage due to the automatic -6dB gain compensation
inserted by the amplifier.
