Page 8: Voltair - 120V Rail Technology
VOLTAiR – 120V Rail Technology VOLTAiR is the synonym for our 120V Rail Technology within the Professional Fidelity series. The audio signals are processed with an unequalled +/-60V DC, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and four-times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers. VOLTAiR Technology reaches outstanding technical and sonic performances. -

Page 11: Inputs
SPEA Inputs The Performer s800 is equipped with XLR inputs (8, 12) for balanced connection to a pre- amp. Full output power (2 x 285 W RMS into 4 ohms or 2 x 185 W RMS into 8 ohms) is per- formed at +6 dBu at the input. -
Page 12: Slave Thru
BRIDGE – In Bridge INPUT R Slave Thru used. SPEA The input is passively fed to the SLAVE THRU (9, 13) output for bi-wiring applications. Trim The input can be lowered with the TRIM switch (10, 14) from 0 dB to -5.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps. -
Page 13: Speaker Outputs
Speaker outputs You can connect 4 or 8 ohms loudspeakers to the speaker outputs – (11, 15). You can either use the ø4 mm cable hole (screwable) or the BRIDGE MODE – banana plugs of the gold-plated loudspeaker binding posts. In Bridge Mode Make sure not to mix up the polarity of the loudspeaker outputs. -
Page 14: Bridge Mode
BRIDGE – In Bridge Mode The Performer s800 can be operated in bridge mode to combine both channel amps for maximum power (450 W INPUT R is not used. RMS into 4 or 8 ohms). Only use the left input then. -
Page 15: Protection Circuits
If the Performer s800 repetitively switches off due to a DC detection please contact your dealer. Overheating protection circuit At about 70° C at the heat sink, the Performer s800 will switch off. After the temperature has fallen below 55° C, the amplifier automatically switches on again. The TEMP LED (2) on the front indicates the overheating. -
