1.3 The amplifier
The VORTEX is a
It is supplied by Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). These SMPS’s radically reduce the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplifier. Using SMPS, the 3 - symmetrical supply voltages (2- symmetrical supply voltages for VORTEX 2.6) of the power amplifier are more stable than the power supplies used in con- ventional amplifiers.
The VORTEX also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the power amp. Controlling a power amp designed for use in modern sound systems, has four main advantages over more traditional power amp systems:
Reduced Distortion
Improved Noise Characteristics
Integrated Remote Control
Indication of protection or failures by different LED sequences
The VORTEX has been designed as an intelligent and powerful product for performing specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can adapt the power amp to meet their specific audio requirements before use. Controls mounted on the front and the rear of the VORTEX allow access to the functionality.
Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is important that users should familiarise themselves with the entire range of controls and programmable features before using the power amp.
If you have questions about features of the VORTEX power amp that are not covered by the basic descriptions in this manual, CAMCO would be pleased to offer you further information. Alternatively, contact your dealer/distributor.
