SERVO 120A
FEATURES
> Power to spare - Each channel delivers 60 watts of power
into 4 Ohms (or, in Bridge mode, 120 watts into 8 Ohms).
> Clean, crisp sound - Impressive audio specifications such as
.01% THD, S/N of 105 dB, crosstalk of 75 dB, and frequency
response of 3 Hz to 65 kHz guarantee ultra-clean sound
quality in any live or recording environment.
> Independent input level controls for each channel with
41-position detents.
> Ten-segment LED meters for each channel continuously
display power output levels and allow you to correct for
overloading (clipping) conditions.
> Front-panel Protection LED shows you at a glance
overheating or faulty wiring conditions.
> Innovative front-panel Speaker on/off switch and
dedicated headphone jack enables private cue monitoring
of the input signal.
> Both electronically balanced 1/4˝ TRS and unbalanced
RCA-type input connector jacks are provided along with
5-way binding post output connectors.
> Convection cooling (no fan) makes for whisper-quiet
operation even in critical listening environments such as
recording studios.
> Unique bipolar circuit design that continuously keeps DC
output during idling at or near 0 volts (thus keeping idle
speakers at their zero point). This serves to minimize heat
overload problems by effectively preventing the Servo 120a
from applying power when unnecessary.
> Protection relay circuitry (linked to the DC offset circuitry)
that prevents “thumps” when powering on or off. This means
that you can use the Servo 120a with a single power strip
into which a mixer or other audio devices are connected,
without danger of damage to connected speakers.
> Toroidal transformer power supply.
> Rugged construction (an all-steel chassis with a titanium
finish and a lightweight anodized aluminum heat sink)
makes the Servo 120a eminently roadworthy.
> Flexible design allows the Servo 120a to be used free-standing
or, with the use of included rack ears, mounted in any
standard 19˝ rack (taking just a single rack space).
> Three-year warranty.
