This is because the higher output voltage allows a much lower current flow for the same power. Another advantage of the high output voltage is the amplifier's ability to cope more easily with voltage-drop when using long speaker cables. On all PVA series amplifiers, the output stage is powered by a low voltage allowing not only use with mains voltage, but also 24VDC (or 18VDC). Voltage switching is automatic and completely silent. The output stage utilises a specially wound transformer to allow full acoustic operation at high frequencies. A modified push-pull configuration is used for the output stage. This has the advantage of working in a similar way to a bridge configuration allowing a decrease of the filtering volume by as much as a half. In contrast to conventional push-pull configurations, our output stage is fully complementary, giving, amongst other advantages, lower distortion, without losing the advantages of a push-pull configuration. The output stage circuitry is protected with the same devices used in stage-amplifiers. This includes: thermal protection, input and output transformer protection, short circuit and overload protection, return limiter and soft switching (soft start). Thanks to these features, it can be used in far more demanding conditions and gives greater fire and safety protection. The amplifiers are equipped with priority inputs, switched automatically as soon as additional signals are detected. The PVA series also has test inputs for connection of an ultrasonic remote control to test the efficiency of connections. Balanced inputs allow the use of long cables without the risk of humming or mains distortion. Subsonic filters protect the speakers which are, in this kind of installation, relatively low quality. This also protects the amplifier from saturation of the output transformer. The forced-cooling fan constantly adjusts its speed according to the temperature of the heat sink. The result of this is that when the amplifier operates at low volume, the fan works at minimum speed or stops altogether, minimising dust intrusion and increasing the amplifier's life. PVA series characteristics: - Output stage in modified push-pull configuration - Emergency 24V power option - Test and priority inputs - Limiter - Subsonic filter - Variable speed forced cooling.
