Features

Your new Outlaw Audio Fully-Balanced, Differential Multi-Channel Amplifier is a state-of-the-art, high performance audio component. It is built utilizing totally complementary circuitry from input to output. The high current power supply is driven by a custom-designed, dual torrodial transformers with multiple windings for each channel. Each output module has 12 discrete output devices, 30,000 uF total filter capacitance and employs an advanced Opto-coupled protection circuit. Heat management is provided not by noisy fans, but by custom-designed heatsinks for each channel.

The 7700/7500 differential design virtually eliminates cross talk, through a technology known as “common mode rejection”. Compared to single-ended designs, the 7700/7500 requires half the rail voltage for a given power allowing for increased transient performance. In addition, with a slew rate nearly double that of a comparable single-ended amp, the utmost control over transients is maintained ensuring distortion free performance. The result: an amplifier that remains unequivocally true to the source material.

Unpacking

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new amplifier were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move, or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by carefully opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

Your new amplifier has been engineered using heavy duty materials for high reliability and weighs a considerable amount (80 pounds for Model 7500;

93pounds for Model 7700). This substantial weight requires that you pay special attention to unpacking and installation of the unit. You may wish to have someone help you remove the unit from its carton and place it in the proper location.
