1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a PopPulse t150 Class-T stereo amplifier.
Thanks to it utilising advanced Tripath technology & audiophile grade parts, the t150 is able to easily achieve the
sonic performance of traditional high-end amplifiers, but in a compact, affordable and efficient little unit.
Based around the Tripath 2022 IC, this amplifier is much more powerful, dynamic and musical than most other t-
amps that commonly use the 2024 IC.
With a power output of up to 77 Watts RMS per channel, the t150 has sufficient power to drive most hifi speakers
with total authority.
2. Features
Uses Tripath technology for audiophile quality sound
•
Up to 90% efficient. Hardly generates any heat!
•
No start-up pop!
•
Audio grade parts used throughout including an Alps RK27 volume pot and Elna capacitors.
•
Powered directly from the mains via it's oversized internal toroidal transformer.
•
Volume control can be bypassed via an internal jumper (for use with a pre-amplifier)
•
Monoblock bridgeable for up to 150 Watts RMS output through setting an internal jumper (stereo use
•
requires two identical T150 amps).
XLR mono input (for use when using two bridged t150's as monoblocks)
•
Over-current protection
•
Thermal protection
•
Uses Audiophile parts and components
•
Housed in a top quality metal case with a very classy, thick aluminium front facia plate. Provides
•
excellent shielding from electronic interference.
Technically the XLR input is stereo but not true balanced. Think of it as a mono
XLR input for when two t150 amps are setup in bridged mode as monoblocks..
