  • Page 19: Chapter 3: Amplification And Audio

    CHAPTER 3: AMPLIFICATION AND AUDIO The 750-LFC loudspeaker’s driver is powered by a proprietary two-channel, open-loop, class D amplifier. The audio signal is processed with correction filters for flat phase and frequency response, and by driver protection circuitry. Each channel has peak and rms limiters that prevent driver over-excursion and regulate voice coil temperatures.
