Audio Amplifier and Speaker

Configuration

Audio Amplifiers

All AMP1 Series models contain high performance speakers driven by

three power amplifiers; two amplifier/driver combinations handle

midrange and high frequency information in the left and right (stereo)

speaker channels, while the third amplifier channel sums the left and

right channel information below the 500 Hz crossover point in the

woofer (bass) speaker(s). Note that the woofer channel is not a

dedicated LFE or center channel.

Speaker Configuration

The 1U rack size AMP1 Series products are configured with two

speakers (left and right) to reproduce mid- and high-range audio

frequencies (in stereo), but feature two woofer speakers to reproduce

the summed (combined) low-range audio frequencies from the left and

right speaker input channels. It should be noted that both woofer

speakers, which are wired in series, are driven from one woofer

speaker channel, and are not stereo. See the simplified diagram below

for a block diagram of the AMP1 Series audio amplifier/speaker

configuration.
