THERMAL MANAGEMENT

H e a t s i n k C o o l i n g

The unique heatsink on

your POWERCLASS™

amplifier has been designed with fins on the

inside of the aluminum mass. This allows for the transfer of heat from the circuitry to the heatsink fins and out through the vents in the endplates. Be sure you have ample space around the amplifier for cooling, at least 2" on all sides.

Forced Air Thermal Management

To manage the additional heat associated with higher output capability, a thermally controlled fan has been designed into the PC2600 and PC21400. When the heatsink temperature reaches a pre-determined value, the fan is activated and cool air is drawn in through the lower intake vents on the endplate. This cool air flows below

the circuit board, through the fan and across the internal fins, cooling the heatsink. The warm air is then forced

out through the upper endplate exhaust vents.
