(2) Voltage Range
The APL-220, -500, and -800 use advanced, high efficiency, intelligent, power
supplies. A convenient external switch allows for easy conversion between
115V AC and 230V AC. In the 115V AC setting, the allowable line voltage
range is 90V AC to 132V AC and in the 230V AC setting, the allowable range
is 190V AC to 265V AC.
(3) Current Requirements
All power amplifiers require sufficient current for proper operation and the
amplifiers designed into Apogee powered loudspeakers are no exception.
Chart #1 shows the required current for one APL-220, -500, and -800 at two
standard international working voltages (120 & 240V AC). Because current
drain is ultimately a function of the program source, Chart #1 shows both
the theoretical maximum, and what can be expected under typical high-level
program conditions:
