Features

Your new Fully-Balanced, Differential Multi-Channel Ampliﬁer is a state-of-the-

art, high performance audio component built utilizing totally complementary

circuitry from input to output. The high current power supply is driven by

custom-designed, dual torrodial transformers with multiple windings for each

channel. Each output module has 24 discrete output devices, 36,000 µF total

ﬁlter capacitance and employs an advanced Opto-coupled protection circuit.

Heat management is provided not by noi sy fans, but by custom-de signed

heatsinks for each channel.

The Model 7900’s differential design virtually eliminates cross talk, through

a technology known as “common mode rejection”. Compared to single-ended

designs, the Model 7900 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.

Input selection occurs automatically as the Model 7900 includes an auto sens-

ing circuit to determine which Input (XLR or RCA), by channel, is being used.

XLR cables provide a fully balanced signal path from Input to output and the

Model 7900’s RCA Inputs utilize a “semi-balanced” design, which provide a

cleaner signal path than traditional RCA connections.
