The hafler gx2300 and gx2600 amplifiers are two rack height, two channel, fan-cooled professional power amplifiers suitable for use in the most demanding sound reinforcement and commercial sound installations. These amplifiers offer out- standing efficiency by means of three technologies: high-effic...

– 10 – what else distinguishes these amplifiers? Constant power into varying impedance. It takes twice as much current to develop a given wattage into 2 Ω as it does into 8 Ω—but only half the voltage. Many amplifiers quote a high output current at 2Ω but have an unpublished operating time measured ...

The gx2300/2600 is a standard 2u (2 rack height) 19" rack-mount unit, with both front and rear rack mounting ears. In portable systems, the amplifier must be supported at both the front and rear. Cooling the gx2300/2600 uses forced-air cooling (fan cooling) to remove the heat produced during normal ...

– 14 – the amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal source. Input the input jacks used on the gx2300/2600 are dual function connectors which accept 1/4 " trs (tip ring sleeve) or male xlr plugs. The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal, from ea...

– 15 – floated source equipment source units with a 2-pin mains power cord have no means to connect the audio output ground to earth ground, so usually the audio output ground is floated from earth ground. However, this does not insure that when installed in a system, the audio output ground will re...

If all the switches are off, there will be no output signal.) the delay feature provides five sections of 2nd-order all-pass delay filters of 450µsec +/-10µsec each. Unlike the more commonly used 1st-order all-pass, the 2nd-order filters achieve ...

The maximum gain position is marked as the "0 db" position, and the lower gain posi- tions indicate the amount of att...
