EASTON, MA (7/18/06) -- Outlaw Audio, the leading direct-to-consumer internet
electronics brand, has introduced two new high power multichannel
amplifiers featuring fully balanced differential topology for
substantially improved performance. The five-channel Model 7500
and seven-channel Model 7700 each deliver 200 Watts per channel
into 8-Ohms, and 300 Watts into 4 Ohms (20 Hz – 20kHz, all
channels driven) with a total harmonic distortion of less than
0.03%.
"These new models represent a substantial upgrade to our
acclaimed Model 770 and 755 multichannel amplifiers," comments
Outlaw spokesman Scott Jackson. "The addition of balanced
inputs and a fully complementary circuit design means they develop
the same power as the models they replace, but with substantial
improvements in distortion and an inherently lower noise floor."
The high-current power supplies used in the Model 7700 and Model
7500 are driven by custom-designed dual toroidal transformers
with multiple windings for each channel, delivering clean power
with headroom to spare for even the largest dynamic transients.
Each output module has 12 discrete output devices, and a total
of 30,000 microfarads of filter capacitance.
The differential design of the Model 7700 and Model 7500 employs
common-mode rejection technology to reduce crosstalk to greater
than -100dB. When used with the Balanced XLR inputs in combination
with a balanced preamplifier/processor such as the Outlaw Audio
Model 990, the amplifiers also benefit from a 6dB improvement
in gain thanks to the complementary design. Each channel of the
amplifiers includes a massive heat sink, eliminating the need
for noisy cooling fans even when operating at rated power.
Low voltage trigger inputs are provided for seamless operation
with compatible electronics, such as Outlaw's Model 970 and 990
preamp/processors and Model 1070 receiver. An advanced Opto-coupled
protection circuit protects the amplifiers from damage without
the use of fuses.
The Outlaw Model 7700 and Model 7500 Power Amplifiers are available
for immediate shipment solely through the Outlaw's website at
www.outlawaudio.com. The price of the amplifiers is set at $2,149
for the seven-channel Model 770, and $1,599 for the five-channel
Model 7500, with special "Outlaw Family" pricing available
when the amplifiers are purchased in a combination package with
other Outlaw components.
Privately owned Outlaw Audio designs their own line of high-performance,
high-value consumer electronics products and markets them exclusively
via the Internet from their www.outlawaudio.com website. The recipient
of numerous major awards and "Recommended Component"
ratings from major publications, Outlaw's products are widely
