SPECIFICATIONS
The power amplifier shall be a dual-channel
model of solid-state design employing true
complementary-symmetry output circuitry and
capable of operating from a 100/120/200/220/
240-V, 50/60-Hz ac line. The amplifier shall
contain sensing circuitry to provide protection
for the output transistors against over-
temperature, excessive output voltage, radio-
frequency interference, shorted loads and
excessive output phase shift. The load shall
similarly be protected against infrasonic sig-
nals, startup/shutdown transients, low ac line
voltage, and dc.

DESCRIPTION
The Electro-Voice 7100 stereo power amplifier
utilizes proven design concepts to provide an
ultra-reliable amplifier with virtually unmatched
performance characteristics. It achieves this
success without increased complexity or cost,
making it a real value.

Each channel delivers over 75 watts of continu-
ous average power into 8 ohms or over
100 watts into 4 ohms over the full audio fre-
quency range. In the bridge mode, the amplifier
can deliver more than 200 watts into an 8-ohm
load at less than 0.10% THD. The maximum
midband output power is 100 watts per channel
into 8 ohms and 145 watts per channel into
4 ohms at less than 1% THD. Four output
devices are utilized for a total device power
dissipation of 520 watts. Because the large
heatsink area allows more than adequate dissi-
pation, the amplifier is convection cooled and
performs in total silence.
