VORTEX power amplifi ers are fi tted with Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS),
which signifi cantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplifi er. Using
SMPS, the 3 symmetrical supply voltages (2 symmetrical supply voltages for
VORTEX 2.6) of the power amplifi er are more stable than the power supplies
used in conventional amplifi ers.
The VORTEX also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the
power amp. This has four main advantages over more traditional power amp
systems:
Reduced Distortion
Improved Noise Characteristics
Integrated Remote Control
Indication of Protection or Failures by different LED sequences
The VORTEX has been designed as an intelligent and powerful amplifi er
for performing specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can
adapt the power amp to meet their specifi c audio requirements before use.
Controls mounted on the front and the rear of the VORTEX allow the different
functions to be accessed.
Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is
important that users should familiarise themselves thoroughly with the entire
range of controls and programmable features before using the power amp.
If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions of your VORTEX,
CAMCO will be pleased to offer you further information. Alternatively, contact
your dealer or distributor.
