TECHNOLOGY

Through the use of optimized power supplies with toroidal transformers (on account of their low stray fields) and the intelligent application of class H technology (CL 800: class AB), headroom way above the declared nominal power has been achieved as well as a notable reduction in weight and waste heat. CL power amplifiers satisfy the extreme demands of life on the road and deliver between a nominal 2 x 400 watts and 2 x 1000 watts into 4 ohms. Even complex loads as low as 2 ohms can be driven very saafely. Ranging in weight from only 13 kg to 18 kg, two or more CL power amplifiers can be combined in racks that remain easy to transport.

CLASS-H TECHNOLOGY

With this technology, two different power supply rails are permanently available internally to the power amplifier blocks. For most of the program material, the lower operating voltage is able to reproduce the audio signal flawlessly; however, as soon as there are dynamic peaks, the amplifier switches internally and at high speed to the higher supply voltage.

Since for long periods the power amplifier blocks are operating with the lower supply voltage, there is considerably less power dissipation than with conventional class AB power amplifiers, which also means considerably less waste heat.
