FEATURES

3/2/1 CHANNEL OPERATION

The amplifier can be operated as a stereo or a as mono-bridged amplifier thus doubling the output power independently from the input mode; the power can be subdivided as follows, according to your needs:

a)70/100 Watts for each one of the two channels

b)70/100 Watts for two stereo channels, and 150/200 Watts mono

c)150/200 Watts for one mono channel

INPUT MODE SELECTOR

This switch allows the user to specify the input signal to the amplifier.

a)STEREO MODE

b)LEFT MODE (L - MONO)

c)LEFT + RIGHT MODE (L+R)

END STAGE WITH DISCRETE COMPONENTS (TRANSISTORS)

HIGH PERFORMANCES, LOW NOISE LEVEL, PASSIVE AND ACTIVE COMPONENTS

NO CURRENT LIMITATIONS

The current limitation circuits incorporated in traditional amplifiers may cause untimely clipping and a low transient response. The absence of such circuits assures a low T.I.M. effect, an excellent transient response and a perfect sound quality.

RCA INPUT SENSITIVITY

The new amp has a 500mVsensitivity for ideal coupling with MACROM sources and, however, it is possible to regulate the sensitivity from 100mV to 2V to facilitate coupling with any other source present on the market.

REMOTE ON AND OFF

On switching the head unit on or off, the amplifier is automatically switched on or off.

ON/OFF INDICATOR

THREEFOLD PROTECTION

Your unit is provided with three different protection devices, as befits all high-end products. SOFT START: the amp powers gradually in order to avoid damage to the speakers in case the head unit is switched on with the volume control set to maximum.

OVERHEATING: in case of wrong installation the unit enters the protection mode before being damaged. As soon as the temperature returns to normal values, the unit resumes normal operation.

OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT: in case of a short circuit at the speaker outlets the unit enters the protection mode in order to avoid serious damage to the end-stage transistors. Normal operation is resumed on eliminating the short circuit.

CAPACITIVE/INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY FILTER

This filter reduces radio frequency interferences (RFI) and cuts off system noises (i.e. the whine of the alternator).
