USEFUL INFORMATION
5018 is a class D amplifier with a final stage that offers a
maximum power of 60W RMS on impedance of 4Ohm. Small,
light, compact, it integrates a pre-amplifier in JFET technology.
The reasons that led me to use this formula are focused on the
musicality of the product and the great feeling of similar use in the
response to the most famous tube amplifiers.
THE PRE-AMPLIFIER in "cascode" technique proposes an
amazing linearity of signal useful to guarantee great benefits of
interfacing and transparency of the signal to other units.
TONE CONTROL includes three passive filters that act on the
frequencies: 80Hz (low); 560Hz (middle); 5500Hz high.
EFFECT LOOP is “serial” with output buffer in order to allow a
better adaptation result towards external units. This makes it
possible to connect analog, digital and hybrid effects device to
your liking.
POWER STAGE employs a class D digital module with PBTL
configuration. Although the connection of a speaker with an
impedance of 4 to 16Ohm is possible. The best performance of
power and linearity can be identified in 4 and 8Ohm.
CAUTION!! the bridge ending provides exclusively direct
connection to the cashier (NO NEGATIVE SPEAKER TO GND)
ALL AUDIO CONNECTIONS ARE OF A SINGLE 6.3mm JACK
TYPE.
The Guru advises:
Use a "speaker" cable to connect loudspeaker with a minimum
cross-section of 2X1mm. up to 5 meters.
The recommended power supply to guarantee the correct
performance is with 24Vdc voltage (central positive) with 3
Ampere working current.
5018 is a guitar amplifier not a pedal effect: be very careful to
connect the "SPEAKER" output only and exclusively to a
speaker. Never connect the "SPEAKER" output to an input of
another amplifier, pedal effect, mixer, computer, or similar units.
