PA section. Trimmer pots R714 and RP734 establish the DC offsets. POWER SUPPLY The RW-12 utilizes a high current switching power supply with proprietary output controller circuitry. This controller circuitry tracks the input signal and continually adjusts the rail voltages to what is needed at the time.
OTHER FEATURES AUTO ON/OFF This amplifier features an automatic on/off circuit that allows the user to set up once and forget it. With the power switch in the “AUTO” position, a switching circuit consisting of U1D, U5A, & U5B, senses an input signal. From this switching circuit, JFET Q100 on the power amp board is biased OFF which removes the grounding of the signal.
