SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES
MACHINED ALUMINUM CHASSIS:
Precision-machined chassis with integrated heat-
sinks, milled from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum, provides exceptional
thermal heat transfer/dissipation, RFI/EMI shielding, and resonance control.
CERAMIC CIRCUIT BOARDS:
All audio circuits are implemented on mil-spec, multi-
layer, low dielectric constant, Rogers™ ultra-rigid ceramic circuit board substrate
for extremely low energy retention and absorption. Large low impedance ground
planes areas for extended internal star-grounding.
COMPOSITE CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE:
Unique composite circuit architecture
incorporating separate Class AB voltage and current gain blocks with an
innovative error correction loop, delivering a sensuous grain-free musicality of
unparalleled transparency and low level resolution.
BALANCED TOPOLOGY:
Inherent cancellation effects of balanced topology
implemented throughout all power and input/output circuits ensures greatly
reduced distortion and noise under dynamic signal conditions.
HIGH-CURRENT COPPER BUS-BARS:
High-current, dual polarity, ultra low
impedance copper bus-bars distribute both power supply input current and signal
output current, virtually eliminating intra-circuit EMI signal contamination, greatly
reducing internal wiring, while increasing circuit board rigidity.
HIGH-PRECISION SURFACE MOUNT COMPONENTS:
Extensive use of Lead (Pb)-free,
low temperature coefficient, active and passive surface-mount components
results in significantly smaller loop areas, reduced circuit capacitance and
inductance, and introduces less noise than conventional leaded components.
TRANSFORMER-COUPLING AND ISOLATION:
Transformer coupled input circuitry
provides universal component compatibility and virtually eliminate ground loop
noise and RFI/EMI. Transformer coupling ensures identical amplifier overall gain
when using unbalanced input adapters.
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION:
Power Factor Correction (PFC) in the power supply
reduces AC line harmonic noise pollution and increases AC line power utilization
to 99%.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY SWITCH-MODE POWER SUPPLY:
Highly efficient, compact, light
weight, 1500 watt DC switch-mode power supply provides optimum voltage
