Description of Unit

The GFA-7705/07 is a 20-AmpDevice.

The GFA-7705/07 is high-power, high-current, wide-bandwidth design employing ADCOM’s Fast Analog Transform (F.A.T.) circuitry with direct-coupled Power Rig output stages. All channels are completely monaural from transformer secondaries through the output stages.

In order for this product to achieve its actual rated power output on all channels and to avoid repeatedly throwing/popping the related electrical service panel circuit breaker, it is critical that the amplifier be professionally installed on a 20-Amp household AC circuit and outlet, preferably dedicated but at minimum one not shared with other large current-draw appliances or devices.

Common 15-Amp household circuits are easily and inexpensively converted to 20 Amp configuration by any high- voltage licensed electrician.

For this reason, the GFA-7705/07 ships Factory-equipped with a hard-wired, 20-Amp Plug on the AC Power Cord.

WARNING: DO NOT DEFEAT THE 20-AMP PLUG OR HARDWIRED AC POWER CORD TO EMPLOY EITHER A 15 AMP OUTLET OR “AUDIOPHILE” TYPE DETACHABLE POWER CORD.

DOING SO WILL VOID PRODUCT WARRANTY, MAY DAMAGE THE PRODUCT AND PLACE THE USER AT EXTREME RISKOF INJURY OR DEATH.
