Theory of Operation 1.5 Indicators • Power/Fault Indicator - Indicates power status: Blue = system on. Red = system fault. • Signal/Clip Indicator - Indicates status of the analog input signal: Green = normal. Yellow = high level. Red = overload. 1.6 Signal Processing The audio processing chain is shown in the following figure: ¼"...

Theory of Operation 2. Amplifier Boards 2.1 120/230V Variants To manufacture the separate SKUs for different AC mains voltages, a jumper (S100) on the amplifier boards is changed. 2.2 DC Power Each of the two amplifier modules is fed directly from the AC mains, and provides a +/-18VDC nominal supply, referred to as +/-18V A and +/-18V B.
Page 59
Theory of Operation D100 [B/C3] rectifies the AC signal, which is filtered by C107 [C4] and C108 [B4]. N100 [C3] and N101 [B3] provide in-rush current protection when connected to the AC line. MOV1 [C4] and MOV2 [B4] are for surge protection. SG101 through 104 [B/C2] provide an ESD discharge path to the AC mains around the higher impedance of the coils.
Page 60
Theory of Operation IC4A and IC4B [D2] provide buffers for the audio input, and provide the ability to accept bal- anced or unbalanced inputs. The amplifier uses the inputs in an unbalanced configuration. R21, R24, R25, R26 [A/B3] provide resistive dividers to determine the under and over-voltage protection thresholds.
