Short, mismatch, and open circuit proof. Limiting is instantaneouswith noflyback pulses, thumps,
cutout, etc. No premature limiting on transients.
AC line fused. Thermal switch in AC line protects against overheating caused by insufficient
ventilation. Controlled slewing rate voltage amplifiers protect overall amplifier against RF burn-
outs. Input overload protection is furnished by internal resistance at inputs of amp.
instantaneous, with minimum thumps and no program delay.
Wideband
multiple feedback loop design utilizing one linear IC (dual op-amp). Total equivalent of
60 transistors, 30 signal diodes, 3 zeners and 6 rectifier diodes.
1 kilowatt transformer with massive computer-grade filter capacitors storing over 48 joules of
energy. Two regulated supplies for complete isolation and stability.
Requires

operation.
Draws 40 watts or less on idle, 500 watts at 300 watts total output.
Massive black-anodized heat sinks are thermally joined with the chassis, thereby utilizing the en-
tire amplifier as a heat sink.
All aluminum construction for maximum heat conduction and minimum weight.
Heavy
aluminum
front panel is a single extrusion.
Independent input level controls are on front panel. Power switch, with integral pilot light is on
front panel. Non-interacting DC balance controls are mounted behind front panel. A mono-stereo
switch is located above the input jacks on the rear panel.
