VORTEX POWER AMP SERIES
P.9
1.3 The amplier
The VORTEX is a Class-H power amplier with a power output of 3 kW per
channel / 2 Ohm load (6 kW in mono / 4 Ohm load) for VORTEX 6, 2 kW per
channel / 2 Ohm load (4 kW in mono / 4 Ohm load) for VORTEX 4 and 1300 W
per chanel / 2 Ohm load (2,6 kW in mono / 4 Ohm load) for VORTEX 2.6.
It is supplied by Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). These SMPS’s radically
reduce the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplier. Using SMPS, the 3 -
symmetrical supply voltages (2- symmetrical supply voltages for VORTEX 2.6)
of the power amplier are more stable than the power supplies used in con-
ventional ampliers.
The VORTEX also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring the
power amp. Controlling a power amp designed for use in modern sound
systems, has four main advantages over more traditional power amp systems:
Reduced Distortion
Improved Noise Characteristics
Integrated Remote Control
Indication of protection or failures by different LED sequences
The VORTEX has been designed as an intelligent and powerful product for
performing specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can adapt
the power amp to meet their specic audio requirements before use. Controls
mounted on the front and the rear of the VORTEX allow access to the
functionality.
Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is
important that users should familiarise themselves with the entire range of
controls and programmable features before using the power amp.
If you have questions about features of the VORTEX power amp that are not
covered by the basic descriptions in this manual, CAMCO would be pleased to
offer you further information. Alternatively, contact your dealer/distributor.
