Two heavy-duty analog transformers are used to provide extremely high power capability and are designed to fit nicely in
a conventional two-rack-space unit. Additionally, the power supply is designed to produce a higher-than-normal no load
voltage value, and has large, over-sized electrolytic capacitors. This combination results in a power supply with a high
Dynamic Headroom value of more than +2 dB. As such this DH value will produce an awesome “music power” output
capability, resulting in a power amp that “sounds” much louder than one would expect from a typical 200 W RMS per
channel unit. The supply has a thermal monitor system that will protect it from extreme overloads and excessive operating
temperatures. The new CS
