Note 1:
The output stage uses high-power transistors with a rated collector dissipation of 150 watts and collector current of 15 amperes. These devices boast excellent
frequency response, current amplification linearity,
and switching characteristics. The transistors are arranged in an 11-parallel push-pull configuration
(Figure 1) for ultra-low impedance and mounted on a massive heat sink made from diecast aluminum. This assures effective heat dissipation and allows the amplifier to effortlessly handle very low impedances.
Power linearity is maintained down to loads as low as
1 ohm, which demonstrates the impressive capabilities of this amplifier.
Low amplifier output impedance
When forming the load of a power amplifier, a loudspeaker generates a counterelectromotive force that can flow back into the amplifier via the NF loop. This phenomenon is influenced by fluctuations in speaker impedance, and interferes with the drive performance of the amplifier. The output impedance of a power amplifier should therefore be made as low as possible by using output devices with high current capability. This absorbs the counterelectromotive force generated by the voice coil and prevents the occurrence of intermodulation distortion.
