The Model 2150 is rated at 150 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms, 8 Ohms, 25V, 35V, 50V, 70V or 100V. In bridged-mono operation, it is rated at 300 Watts.

Note: Some amplifiers will be equipped with the Bose ACM-1 Amplifier Control Module in place of the standard Bose Input Module. This module retains all of the capabilities of the Bose Input Module, except sequence, and includes the ability to control and monitor the amplifier over a control network.
Page 58
THEORY OF OPERATION Input Module (continued) The signal inputs are designed for balanced connection, though unbalanced inputs can be configured by proper input wiring. Channel 1 (CH1) line-level inputs are made via P4 [A3] and J4 [A4], Channel 2 (CH2) input connections are made via P1 [A1] and J5 [A2]. P4 and P1 allow for the insertion of either male XLR or phone plugs.
Page 59
THEORY OF OPERATION Input Module (continued) In DUAL MONO mode both amplifier channels are driven by the signal applied to the CH2 input. U6-1 is driven high (+15V) and U5-1 is driven low (+7.5V), selecting CH2 to drive both channels of the amplifier.
Page 60
THEORY OF OPERATION Signal Processing (continued) Linear regulators U510 [F3] and U513 [H3] provide separate 5V reference voltages to the Master Level and Remote Level control circuits. Master Level potentiometer RT710 [Display PCB, B1] operates as a voltage divider between signal ground (CW setting) and reference 5V (CCW setting) producing a master level control voltage at RT710 wiper varying linearly from 0 to 5V.
Page 61
THEORY OF OPERATION Signal Processing (continued) Limiter operation can be disabled through the ACM-1 control interface by pulling J101p17 [Signal Processor sheet2, B5] to ground. Q427 [E3] also turns on when clip detector output U427p2 is pulled up, sinking current through limiting resistor R441 lighting “Clip” LED D715 [Display PCB, D3] (J700p14 Signal Processor Assy to P700p14 Display Assy).
Page 62
THEORY OF OPERATION Power Amplifier PCB (continued) Two circuits provide power to the digital amplifier driver. Linear regulator U602 [C2] supplies 5V for internal processor power. Buck switching converter U600 [B1] operates between power ground and the negative rail, generating VS -referenced 12V power supply VN12REF, used by the driver for low-side output FET gate drive.
Page 63
THEORY OF OPERATION Power Amplifier PCB (continued) At approximately 90°C, the thermistor voltage at U425Ap4 exceeds the threshold at U425Ap5 and output U425Ap2 pulls to ground. Threshold voltage at U425Ap5 drops as the divider is re- biased through R435 and D428, providing thermal hysteresis of ~5°C. The amplifier turns off when C432 is discharged through D429, and “Thermal”...
Page 64
THEORY OF OPERATION Display PCB (continued) The “-20dB”, “-12db”, and “-6dB” LEDs are driven by circuitry that samples the power amplifier output. Due to the function of the output transformer, power amplifier output level of 25V corre- sponds to rated output power. Signal is taken from output side of R646 via fuse resistor R650 and fed to the signal processor assembly (J601p2 Power Amp Assy to J601p2 Signal Processor Assy) where R427, R428 attenuate the signal to levels compatible with op amp inputs and R427, C586 form a low pass network rejecting RF noise.
Page 65
THEORY OF OPERATION Display PCB (continued) Current overload or over-/ under-voltage events in the power amplifier trigger a protection control cycle. During this timeout, Q433 [Signal Processor sheet2, G2] turns on, sinking current through limiting resistor R460 lighting “Protect” LED D713 [Display PCB, D3] (J700p19 Signal Processor Assy to P700p19 Display Assy).
