275 SE Series Amplifiers
The new Sonamp® 275 SE (Sound Enhancement) amplifiers
include a factory-installed Sonance BBE® Sound Enhancement
SAT (Smart Amplifier Technology) module. The BBE process
improves presence and detail of speakers, especially at lower 
listening volumes. This makes it particularly effective at improving
the sound quality of distributed audio systems playing 
background music. BBE restores clarity and definition (or focus)
to spoken voices, making paging systems easier to understand
without having to run them at high volumes. The BBE process
is so effective that it can even compensate for inferior sound
from poor-quality source material or compressed sources like
MP3, etc. In addition to manual control, the BBE effect can also
be triggered on/off and the effect amount changed (+6dB or
+9dB) by an external control voltage.
Features:
• Factory-installed BBE SAT module in all versions
• High-current amplifier topology that can operate at 2.66 ohms
• Auto-resetting thermal protection shutoff; inrush current-
limiting circuit; active current limit, short-circuit and speaker
protection
• Defeatable auto-on signal sensing with adjustable turn-on delay
(2, 4, 6, 8, 12 seconds) 
• Bridge/mono switch (not available on 275X3 SE)
• Defeatable high-pass filter to protect in-wall volume controls 
• Tamper-resistant, recessed input level and auto-on sensitivity
controls;  recessed power switch prevents accidental turn-off   
• Signal present LEDs and protect/clipping LEDs for easy level setup
• 275X3 SE has 3 built-in speaker switches and connections for 
3 pairs of speakers.
• Available versions:   275 SE / 275 SE RMF, 
275X3 SE / 275X3 SE RMF,
275 SE (230V) / 275 SE RMF (230V)
