VOLTAiR – V Rail Technology
VOLTAiR is the synonym for our V Rail Technology within the Professional Fidelity series. The audio signals are
processed with an unequalled +/-V DC, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and
four-times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers.
VOLTAiR Technology reaches outstanding technical and sonic performances. Technically especially in terms of
dynamic range and headroom and sonically especially in reproducing the finest details and delivering a totally
relaxed sounding audio experience. Music sounds absolutely natural.

Comparisons
These diagrams show how our VOLTAiR Technology compares to other circuits.
The direct relation between operating level and maximum level is fundamental for the classification: the higher
the operating level, the higher the maximum level a circuit can handle. And since virtually all essential acoustic
and musical parameters depend on this relation, a higher operating voltage also has a positive impact on the
dynamic range, distortion limit and signal-to-noise ratio.

Do bear in mind that dB scales do not represent linear but rather exponential increases. A dB increase corre-
sponds to doubling the acoustic power, +dB correspond to twice the sound pressure level, and +dB corre-
spond to twice the perceived loudness.
When it comes to volume, the VOLTAiR Technology exhibits a performance, in regard to maximum level and dynamic
range, that is twice that of common components and circuits given that its values are approximately dB higher.
THD measurements show a difference of more than dB compared to the OPA at V — in terms of sound
pressure level, that corresponds to an improvement of more than %. The operating level most commonly used for
audio equipment is +/- volts.

Inputs
The Performer s is equipped with XLR inputs (, ) for balanced connection to a pre-
amp. Full output power ( x W RMS into ohms or x W RMS into ohms) is per-
formed at + dBu at the input.
For unbalanced connection with e.g. RCA output connect Pin to Ground in the external
connector.

Slave Thru
The input is passively fed to the SLAVE THRU (, ) output for bi-wiring applications.
Trim
The input can be lowered with the TRIM switch (, ) from dB to -. dB in . dB
steps. This is helpful if you want to use multi speaker sets or speakers in a bi-wiring applica-
tion. It allows to level speakers with different efficiency to equal loudness.
Bridge Mode
In bridge mode only the left input is used. The right input and the trim switches are deactivated.

Bridge Mode
The Performer s can be operated in bridge mode to combine both channel amps for maximum power ( W
RMS into or ohms). Only use the left input then.
• Set the BRIDGE MODE () switch to ON.
Warning: Power down the Performer s with the mains switch () before
you activate the BRIDGE MODE switch.
In bridge mode you only connect a single loudspeaker to the Performer s power amplifier. Use the positive
binding post (+) of the left speaker output to connect to the positive (+) input of the speaker. Use the positive bind-
ing post (+) of the right speaker output to connect to the negative (–) input of the speaker.
In bridge mode both the Trim switch and the right input are deactivated.

Protection circuits
The Performer s has protection circuits against DC (direct current) voltage at the output and against
overheating.
DC Protection
If DC is detected at the outputs, the Performer s automatically switches off. DC voltage can be an indication
for a defective power stage. The PROTECT LED () on the front indicates that the protection circuit is activated and
the power stage has been switched off.
The Performer s does not automatically switch on again. It needs to be switched off manually with the mains
switch (). Wait at least one minute before switching the Performer s on again.
If the Performer s repetitively switches off due to a DC detection please contact your dealer.
Overheating protection circuit
At about ° C at the heat sink, the Performer s will switch off. After the temperature has fallen below ° C,
the amplifier automatically switches on again. The TEMP LED () on the front indicates the overheating.
16
AMP CTL (Amplier Control)
If you use the Performer s via AMP CTL with a SPL Phonitor x or SPL Director as a pre-
amp, the Performer s can be switched between standby and operation together with the
Phonitorx or the Director. Therefore you only have to connect the AMP CTL jacks () with a
,mm mono mini jack cable.
