1.3 The Amplifier

The VORTEX is a Class-H power amplifier with a power output of:

VORTEX 200V 3,2 kW per channel @ 4 6,4 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 8 6,4 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 2

VORTEX 6 3 kW per channel @ 2

6 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4

6 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1

VORTEX 4 2 kW per channel @ 2

4 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4

4 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1

VORTEX 2.6 1,3 kW per channel @ 2 2,6 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4 2,6 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1

VORTEX power amplifiers are fitted with Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), which significantly reduces 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 conventional amplifiers.

USER MANUAL

VORTEX 6, 4, 2.6 and 200V

The VORTEX also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the power amp. This 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 amplifier 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 the different functions to be accessed.

Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is important that users should familiarise themselves thoroughly with the entire range of controls and programmable features before using the power amp.

If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions of your VORTEX, CAMCO will be pleased to offer you further information. Alternatively, contact your dealer or distributor.
