. “Form follows function.”

. Designed for repairability even after 20 years.

. Avoidance of SMD components to facilitate easier repairs.

. Recognition of the significant influence of an amplifier as a necessary technical construction.

. Not an ideological lifestyle product.

. Three 30 Ampere primary fuses (90A).

. Eight 80 Ampere switching transistors (2x240A).

. Eight high-speed switching diodes to minimize switching noise.

. Two high-current filter chokes to reduce disturbances from switching frequencies.

. Four primary 22,000 uF storage capacitors from the MUNDORF range.

. Eight secondary 4,700uF storage capacitors from the MUNDORF range.

. Various necessary voltages generated by the power supply.

.  +5 Volts for the microcontroller and reference for regulation.

.  +12 Volts for relay switching.

. +/- 15 Volts level control.

. +/- 67 Volts bias.

. +/- 47 Volts pre-stage / driver stage.

. +/- 40 Volts power amplifier.

. High-voltage technology in discrete circuitry.

. No operational amplifiers (IC) in the signal path.

. Only high-impedance FET-transistor built OP amplifiers.

. Bias adjustable via precision potentiometer.

. AUDIONOTE KAISEI coupling capacitors.

. Sanken transistors, four pieces at 160 Watts per channel.

. CADDOCK 1% precision emitter resistors, 16 pieces.

. PANASONIC high-current relays for speaker on/off.

. High-quality speaker screw terminals with 4mm banana through cable optimally connected to the board. No losses on conductor tracks.

 

. Bridgeable from 4-channel to 2-channel.

. Bridgeable from 4-channel to 2+1 channel.

. LED control indicator for sequential bridging operation.

. Input level adjustable via programmable resistance matrix in 0.5 dB steps.

. No problematic potentiometers in the signal path.

. No filter functions in this amplifier. Linear phase & amplitude.

. High-impedance FET transistor input stage to minimize unnecessary load on the signal source.

. 20.0 kOhm constant input resistance regardless of level control.

. Input capacitance 5pF.

. Input stage coupling capacitors: AUDIONOTE KAISEI & MUNDORF MCAP EVO.

. Optional amplifier without resistance network for a “direct input” without level control.

. Displays operating voltage (min. 9.0V – max. 16.0 Volt) and working temperature.

. Displays channel-related level reduction (channels 1-4).

. Overheating: Programmable 85 degrees via microcontroller.

. Overload; Short circuit.

. Undervoltage: Shutdown at 10V, which can be disabled via the controller.

. Temperature: Around 45 Celsius in normal operation with passive cooling. No fan needed due to large heatsink and side panels. Shutdown at 85 degrees Celsius.

. 325 x 550 x 90mm.

. Total: 5 Amperes = 4 channels at 1.25 Amperes each.

. The idle current depends on the bias pre-setting, affecting harmonic (K2) or unharmonic (K3) distortion. The bias influences sound, idle current, and operating temperature.
