Page 3: Installation
INSTALLATION LOCATION ELECTRICAL PROTECTION AND FUSES To provide for adequate ventilation, you should allow at least two inches of unobstructed space Although not essential, it is a good idea to use a above and a couple of inches on each side of the surge protector to prevent damage to the amplifier. -
Page 4: Operation
OPERATION OUTPUT FUSE REPLACEMENT The amplifier has an 8-amp, fast-blow, output fuse for each channel. These are located on the THE ESL AMPLIFIER IS DESIGNED back panel near the red speaker binding posts. TO BE LEFT "ON" CONTINUALLY. amplifier will deliver over It is extremely efficient. -

mains voltage in your location. If your mains LINE FUSE AND VOLTAGE voltage is 230, use 240 volts on the star. SELECTOR Orient the star so that your voltage will face outward from the amplifier and show through the window in the drawer, then push it back into the amplifier. -
Page 6: Care And Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING If you wish to clean your amplifier, use a diluted ammonia-based cleaner. Window cleaners like “Windex” also work well. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents like “Ajax”, acetone, or paint thinners. Use particular care not to damage the aluminum faceplate. -
Page 7: Design Philosophy
A watt is a measurement of power. It is the The Electrostatic Amplifier (“ESL amplifier”) product of volts times amps. Volts is a measure- solves this problem by using a massive output ment of the pressure or “push”... -
Page 8: Voltage Limitations
Voltage limitations state amplifiers. In fact, it is this and the introduction of large amounts of odd-order ESLs are voltage operated devices. The higher an harmonic distortion from voltage clipping that is amplifier's power supply voltage, the louder it the cause of the dreaded “transistor sound” — will be able to play an ESL (assuming it can also not the use of transistors per se. -
Page 9: Efficiency
Efficiency split in two parts — a “mono-block” for each channel. It often is difficult to find a place on the Many modern amplifiers are extremely ineffi- floor to put them. Many spouses are less-than- cient. Enormous amounts of their power, in fact pleased about having such large amplifiers most of it, is wasted as heat. -
Page 10: Description
Wire has been eliminated wherever possible by using modular construction. ESCRIPTION The Electrostatic Amplifier is designed with the same level of thoroughness usually reserved for the finest amplifiers. Differential voltage gain throughout provides exceptional rejection of external noise and contributes to the inherent DC stability of the circuit. -
