Slew Rate: >13V per microsecond. (Slew rates are limited to useful levels for ultrasonic/RF protection.) Damping Factor: >1000 from 10 Hz to 400 Hz. DC Offset: <10 millivolts. Micro-Tech 2400 Amplifier Service Manual Specifications Input Impedance: Nominally 20K ohms balanced; 10K ohms unbalanced.
This version is to be used only with 120 Volts and only with 60Hz. All other versions of the Micro Tech 2400 use a volt- age selection board. The following chart indicates different configurations of jumpers for different volt- ages.
(enable), and an ODEP indicator for each channel which shows the reserve energy status. In general, the Micro-Tech 2400 Amplifier Service Manual Theory packaging of this model is designed for maximum watt/price/weight/size value with user friendly fea- tures.
Audio Inputs Figure 1. Typical Amplifier Front End and Voltage Amplification Stages. Micro-Tech 2400 Amplifier Service Manual Theory The ODEP transistors steal drive as dictated by the ODEP circuitry (discussed later). The control/protec- tion transistors act as switches to totally shunt audio to ground during the turn-on delay, or during a DC/LF or Fault protective action.
