Overbuild power supply
The patented technologies combined with a dramatically oversized power supply make the XJ700R amplifier capable of
delivering raw quantities of continuous power. The power supply is based on a rigid silicon-steel, hard-wound Pancake low
regulation 1200VA toroidal transformer. The large and heavy transformer ensures a stable supply without voltage drop even at
severe and continuous operation.
MARS does not use any relays or other damping-factor reducing mechanical switches that can wear out or fail over time.
Instead, a specially designed circuit instantly shuts off the output drive.
In the event a short-circuit activates the MARS protection system, it continuously re-scans the output every 10 seconds. Normal
operation automatically resumes as soon as the short-circuit condition is removed.
MARS (Magnetically Actuated Reanimation System) is a new type of protection
system that enables the use of all amplifier power resources without
compromising the survivability of the amplifier under catastrophic conditions.
TTypical protection systems rely on fuses or relays that complicate the signal
path thus degrading audio quality. MARS is different as it is not in the signal
path, but works by sensing the electromagnetic field of the conducting wires.
The internal communication of MARS transmits in the optical plane with a
speed more than 1500 times that of the fastest signal passed through the
amplifier.
