  • Page 5: Introduction

    N T R O D U C T I O N The Hafler P7000 is a two channel professional power amplifier suitable for use in any sound reinforcement situation where faithful, accurate reproduction is required. The amplifier uses forced air fan cooling to deliver high power output in a compact size.
  • Page 6: Installation

    Allow several inches of clearance when mounting these components. AC LINE The P7000 operates from a 120 volt, 60Hz AC power line. Connection is made by 14 gauge, IEC Type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly grounded (earthed) receptacle should be used.
  • Page 7: Input Crossover

    INPUT CROSSOVER The XCard crossover modules are plug-in cards located inside the amplifier. The P7000 is shipped with 100Hz XCards in each channel. Since each XCard can operate full range, high-pass or low-pass, with a 12dB per octave slope, this allows the amplifier to be used in a wide range of applications. XCards are available for a variety of frequencies from your dealer or through our Customer Service department.

    P E R A T I O N POWER SWITCH The POWER switch is located on the front panel of the amplifier. An internal lamp indicates when it is turned on. Standard practice is to turn the amplifier on last and off first when switching components individually to prevent sending damaging transients, generated in the source components, to the speakers.
  • Page 9: Ground Switch

    GROUND SWITCH Ground loops are characterized by a hum or buzz through the speakers and are caused by a voltage potential difference between two points in a ground circuit. Ground loops are aggravated when multiple paths exist for a given circuit. Mounting components in a rack with metal rails may introduce ground loops between associated equipment, because the rails can establish an additional ground path.
  • Page 10: Technical Reference

    FIELD SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS A primary focus during the design and development of the P7000 was to ensure the dependability of the amplifiers. The use of lateral MOSFET output transistors and the low voltage trans•nova input stage combined with careful component selection for the circuit assembly made the reliability goals achievable.

  • Page 16: Circuit Operation

    CIRCUIT OPERATION trans•nova Implementation The transistor Q1 is configured to operate as a switch which controls the current source, Q103, of the input differential amp, Q6 and Q7. When Q1 is off the emitter voltage is low turning off Q103. Timing of the Soft Start function is controlled by the charging time of C29 through R13.
  • Page 17 Fan Speed Regulation Temp TS1, R25 Cooling air for each channel is provided by a DC fan. The fan is configured to track the heatsink temperature, and increases in speed as the amplifier runs hotter. The heatsink temperature, Temp, is determined by the voltage divider TS1 and R25.
  • Page 18 Thermal Protection Temp Comparator TS1, R25 The Thermal protection is activated, and shuts down audio operation, when the amplifier heatsink reaches an excessively high temperature. The voltage divider R22 and R23 establishes the reference voltage on pin 5 of U5B. The control voltage, Temp, on pin 4 is established by the voltage divider TS1 and R25.
  • Page 19: Amplifier Module Replacement

    AMPLIFIER MODULE REPLACEMENT The amplifier modules have been designed to eliminate the need for a special workplace if a field exchange becomes necessary. All wire connections are made with quick connect terminals so soldering is not necessary. The following tools are needed to disassemble the amplifier: Allen wrench, 9/64 Phillips screwdriver, #1 tip Thin nose pliers...
  • Page 20: Building Custom Xcards

    BUILDING CUSTOM XCARDS The XCard crossover control modules used in the P7000 are a versatile and inexpensive method for configuring the amplifier for a wide range of system applications. The XCard eliminates the need for an external crossover or expensive plug-in accessories for multiple amp applications.
