Yes - the design/look is a definite copy of HH, Studiomaster, etc, etc. The fact is that it is still going strong after maybe 40 years of service - and sounds good as well.   Smile

The fan:-  maybe there to keep the transformer cool...   LOL


EDIT: And 10 devices per side is how it was done when amps were amps.  Smile   Today they stick 3/4 per side and call it 5000W!  Ouch Confused Ouch

Looks like our good old friend the classic J50 K135 Hitachi mosfet design. I think Ramses the third had one of these and it’s still going strong!!! Bomb proof amp design!!!

^ Completely agree with the above comments, show me one of these modern amps that will still be working after 40 years. Can you imagine in year 2059 trying to fix a 40 year old Powersoft? LOL 
Be seeing you.

Too true sir, add trying to repair the Powersoft to the list of recreational impossibilities!!!

Here's the plan chaps, find a non working powershite rip out all the insides, find a transformer that will fit in a 2U case install 2 x Autona AL125 modules close it up and give it back to the client and see if he notices the difference, problem solved

Yes - almost. This one uses the 'big brother' J55/K175, rail voltage +/- 90V.

And yes - very little, especially amps - are made to last these days. Sad, really as we destroy our environment with more and more (electronic) junk.   Cry

Can't wait to test these 1800W EV active bass bins, from the blurb they sound awesome.

Nice looking driver, surely that's not the amplifier above? Looks more like a car ECU!
Be seeing you.

DVX3180A driver...and faulty.
The bass bin was dissapointing. Sounded loud in the room but stepping through the door and the SPL went to nothing, wonder what that signifies.
