THE BEAUTY OF POWER
US SERIES AMPLIFIERS
AMPLIFIER FEATuRES
The US-Series features four professional heavy-duty power amplifiers, covering a wide range of
output power ratings. The models are US-1200, US-1800, US-3000 and US-4000. US-Series
amplifiers are built on a rugged, heavy gauge steel chassis with a sturdy aluminum front panel.
The amplifiers use advanced circuitry and a well-designed PCB layout to ensure quality sound
and enhanced reliability. Large aluminum heatsinks and an oversized toroidal transformer, com-
bined with comprehensive protection circuitry and variable speed fan(s) provide worry-free and
reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
