OWNER'S MANUAL AND

INSTALLATION GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
Latest technology, high sound quality, powerful delivery and LINEAR POWER™
reliability all describe LINEAR POWER™ amplifiers. With new "IQ
" circuitry,
©
their value increases. Versatile capabilities such as stereo, mono or mixed
stereo/mono operation and 2 ohm capability make these amplifiers extremely
desirable to build an entire system around or begin a system.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The "IQ
" series amplifiers are a series of inverted channel ("I") amplifiers. A
©
quiet turn on circuit ("Q") has been added for improved performance. The
amplifier design incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic
headroom and efficiency. The TO-3 output stages of these amplifiers will deliver
a significant increase in power into 2-ohm stereo loads. Amplifier reliability is
accomplished by operating the output transistors at 50% of their maximum rating
even into a 2-ohm stereo load.
CONSTRUCTION
Power Supply: Self oscillating for reliability and efficiency. The transformer is
epoxy dipped for extreme vibration resistance. Banks of high-speed TO-3
switching transistors provide massive current reserves. The amplifier design
incorporates an unregulated power supply for increased dynamic headroom and
efficiency.
Output Stages: Transformerless, direct coupled and fully complimentary. Output
transistors are high current and low distortion TO-3 devices, operating at a
fraction of their limitations. In 4-ohm stereo, the output devices in the 5002IQ
work at less than 30% of their design capabilities as engineered by Motorola.
Linear Power™ products are seriously over built!
