AMPLIFIER FEATuRES

The latest additions to the industry-proven US-Series are two professional 3U heavy-duty power
amplifiers for the most challenging applications. The US-5000 and US-6000 are built on a
rugged, heavy gauge 3U steel chassis with a sturdy aluminum front panel. The amplifiers use
advanced circuitry and a well-designed PCB layout to ensure quality sound and enhanced reli-
ability. Large dual aluminum heatsinks and an oversized toroidal transformer, combined with
comprehensive protection circuitry and dual large variable speed fans provide worry-free and
reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
• Up to 5500 watts in densely packed 3U enclosure
• Rugged heavy gauge steel enclosure with sturdy aluminum front panel for stability and
increased longevity
• High-current toroidal transformers for increased 2-ohm power output
• 21-position gain control knobs for consistent settings
• Selectable STEREO, PARALLEL MONO and BRIDGED MONO modes for flexibility
• Front panel LED display: POWER, BRIDGE and PARALLEL LEDs and SIGNAL, -20dB,
-10dB, 0dB, CLIP and PROTECT LEDs for each channel
• Protection: Short circuit, output current limiting, thermal, DC offset, turn on/off muting,
RF protection and circuit breaker
• Defeatable clip limiters to reduce distortion without sacrificing peak performance
• Defeatable 30/50Hz sub-sonic filters to protect speakers and increase headroom
• Balanced combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors and link XLR output connectors
