    Question

    So, I guess we're all hoping it's 120v/60Hz, compatible...

    Bo,

    I never taught about it!

    Hummm .... what to do?

    120V still exists?

    I'm pulling your leg!

    Of course it is and this PSS1200 was even switched on 115V as all PSS amplifiers are internally 115V/230V switchable.

    How many amplifiers provide such a mode?

    Not that much ...

    The amp has arrived!

    I got the PSSAUDIO amp today, and am preparing to install tomorrow! Also recived literature, and spare ALPS pots!

    Yuri, one little question! I will run the amp on a pair of double 18in JBL 2240H loaded scoops, this I know the amp will do no problem. But, lets say I also wish to hear this amp on my J-Horns, will this amp do 2 ohms per side?

    Yuri.

    I am just getting to reading the literature, and it seems you sent me the 1200! If this is in fact the 600wpc amp, I will try it on my fifteens, mid bass range! Much more audibility, and critical lower mids! This will tell the tale!

    Scott,

    Unfortunately or hopefully no, PSS amplifiers do not run with 2 ohm loads, as I honestly doubt one can make some real good music with such low loads...

    Yes the amplifier I sent is a PSS1200, delivering 600W+600W (as it is a twin mono amplifier) with 4 ohms load.

    You can grab all the technical characteristics here: http://www.pssaudio.com/english/amps.htm

    I'm impatient reading your very first comments!

    Hey, Yuri...

    Looking at the connections, it looks like you've got parallel inputs - XLR in (f) and XLR out (m), for ganging?

    Good afternoon!

    yes, it is indeed the PSS1200! 600wpc@4ohms! I have unpacked the amp, it does look nice, and I am running to the store to buy speakon connectors. My system outputs are bannana plugs. Did I mention I hate speakons? No I guess I didnt!

    However, since this is the same range of power Im currently upgrading to on my midbass, this is where I will audition this amp! 1.5v input sensitivity is right. Power is right. And I will get to hear this amp perform in the low frequencies as well as the low mids! In this range I should really be able to hear what this amp is all about, it will go into the rack this evening after I close, at which time I will give it a general listen. No serious listening until tomorrow!

    I was looking at the picture of the cooling system and I like the way you have the fan draw air right across the output transistors! Look like a good cooling design!

    Pretty amp!

    Um, Yuri.........

    You dont specify wether the positive input is pin 3 or pin 2! I will assume you are pin 2+, but correct me if its not!

    That faceplate is very white!

    Scott,

    Have a look at the label delivered with the amplifier (unless it was forgotten while packing it)!

    Everything is printed on it… You can stick it above all the plugs (have a look at the picture Bo posted).

    You can also grab the users manual from our web site!

    XLR wiring (balanced use) :

    1= ground
    2= plus
    3= minus

    If you want to run the amplifier with an unbalanced input, you must join 1 and 3

    Outputs are:

    1+ and 1-

    About the face plate, read my story about snow white: http://www.pssaudio.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6

    Scott,

    Since the brochure was printed, we made 2 modifications.

    The input sensitivity is 2,3V by now (26 dB gain) and there are 80 000MF of mains capacitors instead of 40 000MF!
