1.3 The Amplier
The VORTEX is a Class-H power amplier with a power output of:
VORTEX 200V 3,2 kW per channel @ 4 Ω

6,4 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 2 Ω
VORTEX 6 3 kW per channel @ 2 Ω
6 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4 Ω
6 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1 Ω
VORTEX 4 2 kW per channel @ 2 Ω
4 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4 Ω
4 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1 Ω
VORTEX 2.6 1,3 kW per channel @ 2 Ω
2,6 kW in Mono-Bridge @ 4 Ω
2,6 kW in Parallel-Mono @ 1 Ω
VORTEX power ampliers are tted with Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS),
which signicantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplier. Using
SMPS, the 3 symmetrical supply voltages (2 symmetrical supply voltages for
VORTEX 2.6) of the power amplier are more stable than the power supplies
used in conventional ampliers.
The VORTEX also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring
the power amp. This has four main advantages over more traditional power
amp systems:
Reduced Distortion
Improved Noise Characteristics
Integrated Remote Control
Indication of Protection or Failures by different LED sequences
The VORTEX has been designed as an intelligent and powerful amplier
for performing specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can
adapt the power amp to meet their specic audio requirements before use.
Controls mounted on the front and the rear of the VORTEX allow the different
functions to be accessed.
Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is
important that users should familiarise themselves thoroughly with the entire
range of controls and programmable features before using the power amp.
If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions of your VORTEX,
CAMCO will be pleased to offer you further information. Alternatively, contact
your dealer or distributor.
