    5 lab.Gruppen switch mode amplifier use primary switching, i.E. The mains is rectified directly before the transformer, which means that the power supply is insensitive to the mains frequency and will operate from dc to 400 hz. The amplifier is supplied with an approved european ac line connector. I...

    6 the power consumption according to the chart above is then 1300 watts. The heat power produced is the difference between the power consumption and output power; 1300 - 525 = 775 watts per amplifier. 8. Input connections xlr input connectors are balanced and wired according to the iec 268, that is ...
