After that successful evaluation, the amplifier was put into production. The SA400 is the result of everything learnt in the subsequent years and uses a new board we designed to take the latest Tripath 105A chips and to incorporate extra facilities to lift the earth (to prevent earth loops) and be able to vary the amplifier gain to match other system sensitivities.

delivering over 1000 watts into 8 ohms. Please ensure that the Amplifier is switched off before changing the bridge switch position. Throughout the design, the component quality has been chosen to suit the job being performed (there has been no attempt to over specify components for marketing reasons), and ensure that the amplifier can be built at the lowest cost commensurate with the extremely high performance for which it was designed, and operate reliably over a long period.

Please Note: - The SA400 is capable of VERY HIGH Power levels, as shown in the Specification. The reason for this High Power capability is NOT to provide high Volume levels but to obtain as high a dynamic range together with effortless Transient Power delivery.

The frequency response with load Impedances from 3 Ohms to 10 Ohms is within +/- 1dB to over 25kHz. The graph also shows the loss in output level due to the Output Impedance of the SA400 with the various Load Impedances, which is a direct measure of the Damping factor.
