Overview: Channel Modes and Network
The power amplier shall provide four discrete channels of amplica-
tion. Rear-panel switches shall enable bridging of adjacent channels
to allow reconguration as a 2- or 3-channel amplier, with increased
power output available through the bridged channels. The amplier
shall employ a proprietary tracking Class D output circuit topology.
The amplier shall be equipped with sensing and communication
circuits to allow comprehensive remote control and monitoring func-
tions via a separate network bridge. The proprietary control and
monitoring network shall use Cat-5 cable for interconnection, and
shall allow control and monitoring directly from the network bridge’s
front-panel or, via the bridge, from an external PC running proprietary
software.
Power Output and Performance
Maximum total output of all four channels shall be 10000 watts. In
discrete four-channel mode, each amplier channel shall deliver max-
imum continuous output power as follows: 660 watts into 16 ohms,
1300 watts into 8 ohms; 3100 watts into 4 ohms; or 2500 watts into
2 ohms. Maximum output voltage per channel shall be 150 Vrms;
maximum output current per channel shall be 54 A peak. In bridged
mode, each bridged channel shall deliver maximum continuous out-
put power as follows: 2600 watts into 16 ohms; 4200 watts into 8
ohms; or 5000 watts into 4 ohms.
Default amplier gain shall be 35 dB, with rear-panel adjustment from
23 to 44 dB in 3 dB increments. For bridged channels, the amplier
shall automatically compensate -6 dB gain internally to maintain op-
eration of all channels at selected gain.
The amplier shall exhibit the following performance parameters
with gain set at 35 dB and VPL (Voltage Peak Limiter) at 150 V:
Frequency response shall be 6.8 Hz to 34 kHz, +0/-3 dB at 1 watt into
an 8 ohm load; channel separation shall be greater than 70 dB; and
signal-to-noise ratio shall be greater than 112 dBA. THD at 1 watt, 20
Hz – 20 kHz, shall be less than 0.1%; THD at 1 kHz shall be no more
than 0.05% at 1 dB below clipping.
A VPL shall limit peak output as determined by rear-panel switches.
In discrete four channel mode, peak voltage shall be selectable in
eights steps across a range of 150 V to 38 V. In bridged mode, peak
voltage shall be selectable in eight steps from 300 V to 76 V. The
voltage limiter mode shall be selectable for either Hard or Soft limit-
ing characteristics.
Connectors, Controls, and Indicators
The following connectors and controls shall be on the REAR-PANEL
of the amplier. The four input connectors shall be electronically ba-
lanced XLR-F. The four output connectors shall be either bind-
ing post or Neutrik Speakon. A group of seven DIP-switches shall
determine the following: amplier gain (23 dB to 44 dB in 3 dB incre-
ments); option active; fan masked; and bridged mode selection for
channel pairs. A group of sixteen DIP-switches shall determine VPL
values for each channel (selectable in eight steps), and Hard or Soft
limiting characteristic. Two Ethercon-housed RJ45 connectors shall
be provided for input and output of the control/monitoring network
signals. An LED adjacent to the RJ45 connectors shall indicate active
or inactive status of the network.
The following indicators and controls shall be on the front-panel of
the amplier. Four level control potentiometers shall be detented
and provide attenuation from 0 dB to innity in 31 steps. Individual
switches shall be provided for power on/off and remote power on/off
enabling. Front-panel LED indicators shall be provided to show status
of power on/off (green), network connection (blue), and PAL (Power
Average Limiter) (red). Additional LED indicators shall be provided
to show the status of the following for each channel: signal present
and high-impedance warning (green/red), signal present from -20 dB
to -4 dB (4x green), VPL clipping (red), CPL (Current Peak Limiter)
active (orange), VHF (Very High Frequency) warning (yellow), high
temperature warning (yellow ashing), and high temperature fault
with output muted (yellow constant), and Mute (red).
Power Supply, Protection, and Cooling
The power supply shall be a regulated switch mode type. The ampli-
er shall operate from AC line sources of either 230 V nominal or 115
V nominal, with operating ranges of 130 – 265 V and 65 – 135 V at
line frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Minimum power-up voltages are
171 V (230 V nominal) and 85 V (115 V nominal). A soft start circuit
shall limit current inrush at power-up to 5 A. The amplier shall be
equipped with a PAL circuit to prevent excessive current draw. The
amplier shall be cooled by two temperature-controlled, variable-
speed fans, with air ow from front-to-back. An adaptive fan on/off
function shall be dependent on presence of an output signal.
Physical
The amplier shall be 483 mm (19 in.) wide, 88 mm (3.5 in / 2 U) high,
and 396 mm (15.6 in.) deep. The weight shall be 12 kg (26.4 lbs). The
cabinet shall be black painted steel with a black painted steel and
aluminum front-panel.
The amplier shall be approved for use as specied by CE,
ANSI/UL, ETL and the FCC. The amplier shall be the Lab.gruppen
