    The ram ® cb series power amps have been developped to meet the hig- hest goals in the field of professional power amplification. Their power, distor- tion and dynamics figures place them as reference in the industry. The cb series incorporate unique absolute protection systems as the cro ™ , an imm...

    The power switch must always be on the “off” position before plugging the amp to a properly earthed mains soc- ket (220-240v ac / 110v-120v ac). The input signal fed to the amplifier can be either balanced or un-balanced. The drawing below describes both ways to wire an xlr connector for the purpose...

    Installation and operation installation et mise en service the amplifier can operate on three diffe- rent configurations: dual, bridge or parallel. The connections for the three modes are different. See figure - switch “off” the amp. - set the mode switch on the rear panel to “dual”. - connect the s...

    (see fig ) the ram audio icl is an anticlip system that differentiates from conventional clip reduction systems in its dynamic tracking of the power supply rail values, to provide instant current/voltage demand and the- reby eliminating any limiting of the signal dynamics. More like a valve amplifie...

    11 at the onset of current limiting, the scp circuit activates, opening the output relay which disconnects the excessive load. Every few seconds, the scp closes the relay momentarily, to monitor the short cir- cuit,re-opening instantly if the condition persists. This cycle repeats until the load ret...
