2 Introduction

The Stage Accompany ES 40 is a dual channel, high efficiency power amplifier and comprises
the following components:
•
Balanced input stages.
•
Individual power supplies for both channels.
Two high efficient amplifiers which deliver each 1000 Wrms into 8 Ω, 1470 Wrms into
•
4 Ω and 1810 Wrms into 2 Ω or 1240 W peak into 8 Ω, 2000 W peak into 4 Ω, and
2850 W peak into 2 Ω
•
Advanced protection circuits.
The audio inputs and link outputs are connected internally without electronics. This is done to
prevent any loss of sound quality. With an input impedance of 22 kΩ, it is possible to connect
a maximum of 30 ES 40s to a 600 Ω source like the SA 1310 graphic equaliser. If more than
30 units need to be connected to a single source, a separate signal driver must be used.
The ES 40 is protected against the connection of speaker impedances less than 2 Ω or even
short circuiting of the output. In these cases the output current is limited but the amplifier keeps
working.
The ES 40 has a number of features, including:
•
High efficiency class G operation.
•
Active Clip Eliminator (ACE)
•
Variable speed DC fan.
•
Dynamic Damping Control (DDC).
•
Front accessible Extended Function Network (EFN)
•
Soft start to reduce power on inrush current.
•
Temperature, DC, HF and short circuit protection.
