“NO FUSE” DESIGN
A2 and A5 amplifiers are Direct-Connected to the power supply capacitor
bank, keeping output impedance remarkably low while making more
power available to the amplifier. Even when the amplifiers are driving
lower- or complex-impedance loads, the result is audibly superior
performance. If an output short circuit does occur, only the AC line
breaker will trip—there are no fuses to replace.
The standby low-power supply is protected by self-resetting Positive
Temperature coefficient thermistors (PTCs). Once the condition that
tripped the PTC disappears, the circuit restores itself automatically.
HAND-MATCHED COMPLEMENTARY INPUT DEVICES
Heat shrink tubing applied around each critical pair of hand-matched
complementary input devices ensures superior thermal tracking and
lower voltage offset and distortion.
OVERSIZE OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Custom-designed oversize gold-plated binding posts ensure full power
delivery at all times. They’re easy to use while facilitating large speaker
cable connectors.
OVERSIZE CONVECTION-COOLED HEATSINKS/FINS
Computer-designed and modeled to maximize contact area for exceptional
heat transfer, these amplifiers run cooler for greater reliability without
the need for a noise-inducing fan.
MASSIVE OVERSIZE POWER SUPPLY RESERVOIRS
To store all of the energy required for the immense bursts of power
required in movie special effects or the taxing crescendos in music,
large banks of capacitors are required.
A2 and A5 amplifiers employ 16,400 micro farads (µF) of capacitance
per channel. (That’s over 80,000 µf alone in the A5!) With so many
joules of power in reserve, these amplifiers are able to instantly and
effortlessly deliver full, uninterrupted bursts of power.
