OWNER'S MANUAL AND
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your decision to purchase a LINEAR POWER™ audio
product. Our commitment to grow with the times and meet the demands of the
ever-changing auto-sound market has brought a new change to our existing line.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY: Self oscillating for reliability and efficiency. The transformer is
epoxy dipped for extreme vibration resistance.
OUTPUT STAGES: Transformer less, direct coupled and fully complimentary.
Output transistors are high current and low distortion TO-218 Darlington
Devices, operating at a fraction of their limitations. Total power dissipation
potential of the output transistors is 500 watts.
PROTECTION: Our stable amplifier design is made virtually indestructible by two
separate forms of protection. First is an all-new Thermal Protection Circuit, which
is designed to prevent damage from high frequency oscillations or excessive
ambient temperature. The second form of protection protects the amplifier from
short circuits in the installation. (The 952
retains the standard non-interactive

over-current protection found in the bigger amps).
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES: The infinitely variable input sensitivity control
permits optimal signal matching for lowest noise and lowest distortion with
virtually any source. All components used are rated for at least 150% of their
intended use, and are mounted on double-sided fiberglass epoxy circuit boards.
QUALITY CONTROL: In-house construction of critical components like
transformers and chassis pieces, as well as total assembly, allows LINEAR
POWER™ to maintain uniform quality. 100% of the finished units are tested, then
