Overview: Channel Modes and Network
The power amplier shall provide four discrete channels of
amplication. 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.
Each channel (discrete or bridged) shall be capable of independently
driving either low impedance or high impedance (70 Vrms /100 V
peak) loads. The amplier shall employ a proprietary tracking Class
D output circuit topology. The amplier shall be equipped with sen-
sing and communication circuits to allow comprehensive remote
control and monitoring functions via a separate network bridge. The
proprietary control and monitoring network shall employ TCP/IP
protocols, use Cat-5 cable for interconnection, and allow remote con-
trol from either the network bridge front-panel or from an external PC
using proprietary software.
Power Output and Performance
Maximum total output of all four channels shall be 6800 watts. In
discrete four-channel mode, each amplier channel shall deliver
maximum continuous output power as follows: 650 watts into 16
ohms, 1200 watts into 8 ohms; 1700 watts into 4 ohms; 1200 watts
into 2 ohms; or 1600 watts into a high impedance (70 Vrms /100 V
peak) load. Maximum output voltage per channel shall be 100 Vrms;
maximum output current per channel shall be 24.5 Arms. In bridged
mode, each bridged channel shall deliver maximum continuous out-
put power as follows: 2400 watts into 16 ohms; 3400 watts into 8
ohms; 2400 watts into 4 ohms; or 3200 watts into a high impedance
(140 Vrms / 200 V peak) load.
Default amplier gain shall be 35 dB, with rear-panel adjustment
from 23 - 44 dB in 3 dB increments, selectable for each channel. For
bridged channels, the amplier shall automatically compensate –6
dB gain internally to maintain operation 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 141 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 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 voltage peak limiter 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 141 V to 42 V. In bridged
mode, peak voltage shall be selectable in eight steps from 282 V to
84 V. The voltage limiter mode shall be selectable for either hard or
soft limiting characteristics.
Connectors, Controls, and Indicators
The following connectors and controls shall be provided on the
REAR-PANEL of the amplier. The four input connectors shall be
electronically balanced, 3-pin Phoenix connectors. The four output
connectors shall be 2-pole barrier strip screw connectors. A group
of seven DIP-switches shall determine the following: Amplier gain
(23 dB to 44 dB in 3 dB increments); option active; fan masked;
and bridged mode selection for channel pairs. A group of sixteen
DIP-switches shall determine Voltage Peak Limiter values for each
channel, selectable in eight steps, and Hard or Soft limiting
characteristic. Two 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 provided on the FRONT-
PANEL of the amplier. Four level control potentiometers, one for
each channel, shall be provided beneath a front-panel security cover;
potentiometers shall be detented and provide attenuation from 0 dB
to minus innity in 21 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), Power Average Limiter (red), and option
card active (yellow). 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 at –10 dB and –4
dB (2 x green), voltage peak limiter clipping (red), current peak limiter
(CPL) active (orange), very high frequency (VHF) warning (yellow),
high temperature warning (yellow ashing), and high temperature
fault with output muted (yellow constant). Mute shall be indicated
by illumination of both the temperature and VHF LEDs on a channel;
fault shall be indicated by illumination of both the CPL and VHF LEDs
on a channel.
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™ (Power Average Limiter) 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. 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 343 mm (13.5 in.) deep. The weight shall be 12 kg (26.4
lbs). The cabinet shall be black painted steel with a grey painted steel
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 C 68:4.
