The ST1200 series II is a compact, very efficient, two channel power amplifier. It is
designed to be used in all types of audio or audio/video systems. The term versatile is
almost adequate to describe the variance of operational modes the ST1200 series II is
capable of providing. This is all accomplished through the simple placement of internal
jumpers and the paralleling or bridging of it’s outputs and/or linking multiple ST1200
series II’s.
Here is a listing for some of the many tasks it can be set up to perform:
& The most obvious function for the ST1200 series II is to take 2 separate
audio inputs, such as a stereo pair, and provide 2 separate amplified
outputs. Your ST1200 series II has arrived set up in this configuration.
& With the inputs buffered, a line output (OUT BUS) may be taken from
either the L BUS, R BUS, or L+R BUS and sent on to another amplifier.
This allows for linking of multiple amplifiers.
& Continuing its versatility, the ST1200 series II may be used mono to
provide one, medium current channel in order to drive a speaker requiring
more power.
& As a result of the ST1200 series II’s unique bus system, the input to the
left channel may be inverted thereby allowing the possibility of creating a
single high voltage (bridged) channel from one source, through the left
bus.
The ST1200 series II utilizes high quality electronic circuitry to achieve an environment
wherein a detailed, transparent, and highly musical sound can be realized. The high
quality parts complement include state-of-the-art solid state devices, 1% metal film
resistors, computer grade electrolytic power supply capacitors, and a high capacity
toroidal transformer.
