  • Page 6 2.2 Amplification 2.2.1 Power Amplifiers The SAT 3 is a fully self-powered system comprising of 6 individual PWM ( see page 15 for details) MOSFET amplifiers. 2 amplifiers are bridged (tied) together to drive the 18” sub bass driver. 2 amplifiers are bridged (tied) together and held in reserve for when an additional sub bass driver is connected.

However, to take advantage of the many operating features found in the digital controller system, KS Audio supplies the Remote 3 software program to access and adjust all the parameters involved with the controller operations.

When you know your SAT 3 system is not powerful enough in it's basic size for the space to be covered then an option is, to use several top boxes. Combined together in a cluster they can cover a gymnasium by 360 degrees.

You should, however, be aware of these aspects of note: As with all types of electronic devices, condensation and moisture must be avoided i.e. when the speaker comes from a hot and humid truck and is brought into a cold venue, give the system as much time as possible to cool down.
