INPUTS
There are 3 input modes:
•
An unbalanced voltage mode input with an
impedance of 10kohm
•
A balanced voltage mode input with an impedance
of 10kohms + 10kohms
of 10kohms + 10kohms
•
A current-mode input with a 60ohm input
impedance to minimize cable reflections (to be fed
from an infinite impedance current source)
•
Voltage gain of the balanced and unbalanced
inputs is 30V/V
•
The gain of the current mode is 5V/mA
NOISE
The equivalent input noise at the input is 5nV/sqrt(Hz)
for the voltage modes and 6pA/sqrt(Hz) for the current
for the voltage modes and 6pA/sqrt(Hz) for the current
mode.

PROTECTION
THE AMPLIFIER PROTECTION:
•
Is short-circuit proof
•
Has over current limiting
•
Will cut out if temperature is excessive
•
Will cut out if a continuous D.C. offset
appears on output
•
Will cut out if output current exceeds 10A
average continuously over a period of a few
minutes
•
Is protected against most input overloads
THE POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION:
•
Will cut out if most common faults are
detected in the power supply (e.g. over-
voltage, master clock at incorrect frequency,
excessive temperatures etc)
excessive temperatures etc)
•
Is protected against most mains transients
COMPONENTS
(Footnote 4).
•
All semiconductors are at least industrial
grade in both the power supply and amplifier,
grade in both the power supply and amplifier,
for reliability
•
All electrolytic capacitors are exceptionally
long life industrial grade in both the amplifier
and power supply
and power supply
•
Only highly linear resistors and the lowest
impedance polypropylene capacitors are
employed in the critical audio path
•
6-layer PCBs are used in the power amplifier
to minimize stray magnetic fields and to
accurately define voltages
•
4-layer PCBs are used in the power supply to
minimize E.M.I. and voltage transients, which
minimize E.M.I. and voltage transients, which
improves reliability and power efficiency
COMPARTMENTS
There are 3 heavily shielded compartments:
•
Power supply unit
•
Input amplifier section
•
Power amplifier compartment
FILTERING
Series and common mode EMI filtering is present
•
on the mains input
•
between the amplifier and power supply
High frequency filtering is present at the inputs and
output.
