DESCRIPTION
The Performance Amplifier is a
stereo system of four chassis: one
mono power supply and mono
amplifier per channel. The power
supply is a dual choke input design.
Unlike capacitor input supplies
which utilize only the peaks of the
AC waveform, the choke input
system uses the whole AC waveform
and is much more efficient. Each
audio amplifier chassis employs 8
driver transistors and 40 250W
output devices per channel on two
electrically conductive heat sink tun-
nels cooled by two very quiet fans.
