1. Technical Specialties of the OVATION SA8.2 in short
The OVATION SA8.2 delivers nearly any desired power level even into critical loudspeakers without
loss of control. Over 2x600 Watts into 2 Ohms are surely sufficient for reproduction of any kind of
music even when listening at original sound levels. Nevertheless this amplifier can also play at
moderate levels without loosing precision or missing even finest details.
The OVATION SA8.2 has been developed to satisfy even highest demands on reproduction of music.
Forget about noise and distortion and enjoy it's warm and powerful music reproduction - regardless
which loudspeaker You use. It's excellent musical quality comes together with a very worthy finish:
The case is totally made of aluminum.
The power supply consists of two toroidal power transformers (2 x 1000VA in dual mono configuration)
with extremely low stray fields. The energy for the power amplifiers is buffered by two 200.000 µF
Capacitor banks. Thus each one of the power amps has it's own transformers and capacitor bank. The
amplifiers use 24 output-FETs each and thus are able to deliver over 180 amperes - if needed.
The input circuitry offers RCA-Cinch and as well balanced XLR (Neutrik) inputs.
Besides that a brilliant blue VF display informs the listener about the actual power (power bar) and the
peak power (numeric). It is also useful to make settings via the intuitive menu system: Configuring the
display (power bar & value display, peak power only and display off), setting the display brightness,
setting the operating mode (permanent, trigger, auto, remote from preamp) and setting the actual
speaker impedance (8, 4, 2 Ohms).
