Camco Amplifier manual Vortex, Series, Pure Sonic Performance, Flexible in Power & Application

VORTEX

Series

Precision, pure natural sonic performance and total power define the Vortex series. The difference; total care about audio design and integrity.

Pure Sonic Performance

Total precision and transparency is the trademark of the Vortex series, thanks to its careful design eliminating sound-deteriorating drawbacks right from the start. This is also evident in the Vortex Series exceptional low distortion values and excellent signal to noise ratio.

Flexible in Power & Application

The Vortex amplifier can easily switch between applications and speaker setups due to its unique power regime. This consists of an extensive power reservoir, stability down to 1 Ohm loads and the ability to run in Stereo, Bridge Mono and Parallel Mono operation modes.

Designed for Touring & More

With a weight of just 12,4 kg and designed for the demands of touring professionals the 2 RU chassis ensures exceptional reliability. All dynamic protection circuits are the result of the philosophy, “Audio-at-all times”.

Remote Control Included

The Vortex Series remote control system allows complete application freedom, from FOH to control room centre, the ability to control and monitor usage comes as a standard feature.

Optional DSP & Audio Network

All Vortex amplifiers can be upgraded with CAMCO’s advanced controller-modules, converting the Vortex into a complete loudspeaker management system. Network solutions via EtherSound or CobraNet offer stand alone Network option modules or combined DSP and Network modules.

6 Years Warranty

CAMCO amplifiers renowned reliability is backed up by 6 years warranty from date of first purchase.

The entire signal path in the Vortex amp is microprocessor controlled, even the gain setting is digital con- trolled. This ensures minimal inter- ference in the signal path resulting in an unsurpassed transparent audio performance.

The built-in CAMCO Audio Interface (CAI) on the Vortex series allows real time and dynamic monitoring and control of the amplifier. As the Vortex amp is microprocessor controlled it can remotely be set in true standby mode, where the main power supply is shut down but the signal and control section is still running.

The ability to run in Parallel Mono is a unique CAMCO feature, which extends the amplifier’s ability to run at extremely low impedances.

“Camco’s new Vortex Series delivers highest performance in a compact and low-weight enclosure, which can ultimately be seen from the impressive performance/weight ratio of 453 watts/kg. However, what makes this result really exceptional are the excellent distortion values, the very good S/N ratio and the variety of sophisticated protections.”
