5.2.7.1 Description
The power amplifiers fitted to this unit are multi-stage, solid state power amplifiers. Class
A circuitry is employed throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity over a wide
dynamic frequency range. All the semi-conductor devices are very conservatively rated to
ensure low device junction temperatures and a long, trouble free working lifetime.
The power amplifiers should require no maintenance over their operating lives. Under no
circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is
certain that an amplifier has failed; since they are critically aligned during manufacture and
any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment.
