Features
• Simple, reliable design incorporates many
popular features.
• Selectable high-pass filter on each channel
enables amplifier to work more efficiently
when full band-width is not required.
• Pair of linear optocoupler clip limiters pro-
tects loudspeakers from being overdriven.
• Housed in a rugged, all-steel 3U chassis.
• Efficient forced-air fan prevents excessive
thermal buildup.
Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz: >200.
Crosstalk (below rated power)
at 1 kHz: –82 dB.
at 20 kHz: –58 dB.
Voltage Gain (at maximum output): 31 dB.

Bridge-Mono.
AC Line Voltages Available (±10%): 120 and
230 VAC.
Line Frequency: 50/60 Hz.
• Electronically balanced XLR inputs and
touch-proof binding post outputs.
• Features precision detented level controls,
power switch, and four LEDs, which indi-
cate clip for each channel, power and fault
conditions.
• Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully-Transferrable
Warranty completely protects your invest-
ment and guarantees its specifications.
Controls
Level: Two front-panel, black rotary level
controls, one for each channel.
Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the UP
position.
Filter Switches: One per channel; three-posi-
tion back-panel switches set the frequency
for internal high-pass filters. Frequency set-
ting is 30 Hz when switch is in left position;
15 Hz when switch is centered; and bypassed
when switch is in right position.
Limiter Switch: Back-panel switch offers loud-
speaker protection against moderate amplifier
clip when set to the "IN" position.
Fuse: Provides overload protection.
Indicators
Clip: Two front-panel red LEDs, one for each
channel, illuminate when the channel's output
signal is being overdriven.
Power: Green front-panel LED indicates
amplifier has been turned on and AC power
is available.
Fault: Yellow front-panel LED illuminates
when amplifier is in protect mode. Also illumi-
nates briefly during normal power-up when
amplifier is first switched on.
