OWNER'S MANUAL AND

INSTALLATION GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

Your new Linear Power™1002© amplifier employs a sophisticated design

combining reliability, high power, low distortion, and freedom from external noise.

When properly installed, it will give long and faithful service. When combined with

other high quality components, it will be the heart of a superb system. Thank you

for purchasing a Linear Power™ Product.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

POWER SUPPLY: Self oscillating for reliability and efficiency. The transformer is

epoxy dipped for extreme vibration resistance.

OUTPUT STAGES: Transformer less, direct coupled and fully complimentary.

Output transistors are high current and low distortion TO-3 Devices in the 1002

©,

operating at a fraction of their limitations. Total power dissipation potential of the

output transistors is well over 500 watts.

PROTECTION: Our stable amplifier design is made virtually indestructible by two

separate forms of protection. First is an all-new Thermal Protection Circuit, which

is designed to prevent damage from high frequency oscillations or excessive

ambient temperature. The second form of protection protects the amplifier from

short circuits in the installation. Both circuits are automatically resetting.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES: The infinitely variable input sensitivity control

permits optimal signal matching for lowest noise and lowest distortion with

virtually any source. All components used are rated for at least 150% of their

intended use, and are mounted on double-sided fiberglass epoxy circuit boards.
