Interesting Features: The RA-100 has some interesting features for a studio amplifier in this price range. To compensate for source equipment that may produce transients upon power-up, there’s a 2-second mute on power-up so that attached equipment does not receive power at the same time as the RA-100. The Amp doesn’t produce power on/off thumps itself, so the mute circuit can be pre-power amp. In terms of capacity, the power supply has reserve capacity to handle percussive transients, but if someone kicks the RA-100’s plug out of the wall, you want all amplification to cease immediately. Therefore, if the amp senses any loss of power, it instantly mutes the audio.

 

Other Features:

  • Dual clipping indicators inform of non-linear operation, and clipping
  • Output short circuit protection minimizes downtime and protect amps circuitry
  • Large extruded heat sinks per channel for cool operation
  • No ventilation fan is needed, allows quiet operation, reduced ambient noise
  • Extremely low noise and distortion; for quiet applications in recording studios, church installations, and museums

 

Architecture: The output stage uses full complementary-symmetry circuitry. The output devices are rated at 30 Amps of peak current, and boast a 20 MHz FT (transition frequency) for superior bandwidth. Stable operation is essential when presented with the changing load characteristics of typical speakers; the RA-100 uses several stabilization techniques to maintain consistent feedback network characteristics. Amps with lots of overdrive and saturation tend to create overshoot and ringing during the clipping process, which degrades the sound; the RA-100 has been designed so that it exhibits very little saturation, even when overloaded. As a result, it enters and exits clipping very cleanly. Clean clipping allows the RA-100 to be driven harder, which makes the overall perceived sound louder.Optimized for studio monitoring applications and moderate-power live performance setups,
