Sorry, Rog, have to concur with Cowfoot...Handles are a must-have for an amp of this size and weight... what is the LED read-out for? because the gain controls are so small and recessed, some sort of illumination for them would help immensely ------------- FUSHION SOUNDSYSTEM http://www.fushion.org.uk - www.fushion.org.uk |

The LED read out displays the current draw. Its an rms average reading and displays how many amps are being comsumed.
The amp weighs 38Kg and I don't agree it needs handles. I can lift one into a rack on my own and I only weigh a bit more than one of those amps. If I can do it anyone can. There's no handles on Crest CA 18, none on a 9001 and the ones on a VZ 5000 just rip ya hands off and get in the way.
I have no idea how much these will cost, I just design them.
If you want an idea of the current draw you can expect read this thread.
http://www.speakerplans.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8428 - http://www.speakerplans.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8428
If you want to know whats inside the amp and general construction this is what I said in another thread.
"For those interested the new Infinite 8’s output power is now slightly higher than it was. This is due to a triple output stage and supply. The highest stage is running around 170 volts. The capacitor reservoir has also been enlarged. There are now 400,000 uf of capacitors, yes you read that right, that’s nearly half a million uf of caps in the v2 Infinite 8. The v2 also uses 6 bridge rectifiers and the highest power output transistors available. Another 1.5Kva has also been added with a larger transformer."
I would also add to this that this amp is not to be messed about with. In bridge mode I've measured 180 volts coming out into certain impedances. No bell wire with this baby I'm afraid

i agree with the other guys Rog,on an amp of this size/weight/cost i think handles are essential,im sure they could easily be incorperated into the 2 rack end brackets?
Several times i have tried to balence an amp on one knee whilst trying to slide it into a rack by myself,it would be impossible without 2 front handles me thinks. ------------- Be seeing you. |

i remember when even small amps came with handles, it seems that most modern amps dont these days.
this went through my mind the other day when trying to shove a Crown without handles into an allready reasonably full rack. -------------

Ok I will look into it fitting handles. But I also have to say that although one person can install an amp this heavy into a rack, I think two people are mandatory.
Here's what the rear looks like.
 It looks like there are only 2 fans, but there are another 2 inside. There's enough air flow on this amp to take off, ha ha.

yeah, im thinking handles are essential. u can live without them but they really are useful.
im always swapping amps around for different jobs as i cant afford seperate ampracks. often im removing one from a full rack and u need something to tug on or they wont move! also similar weighted amps are a nightmare to carry around when not rackmounted. If you are designing this just for install then fair enough, but for touring and other use its essential. you have handles on tour cabs when you 'could' cope without.... cheers, Pat |

Ok, so I suppose the next thing you are going to say is that the rear panel is too busy and what do all the buttons do. All v2 Infinites now have a built in crossover network. Each channel has an adjustable independent crossover so one channel can be used for say bass and the other for midtop. It goes further than that as the crossovers have outputs that can be used to drive other amps or even your whole system. The other buttons are for independent 25Hz Hi pass filter’s, independent limiter switches, a parallel both channels button, bridge mode button and ground lift button. The crossovers can be adjusted for different frequencies and each channel can use either a Hi pass or Lo pass filter or can have the filters bypassed. A 4 core cable can be used from output 1 to enable midtops to be connected. Channel 1 is output on pins +1, -1 and channel 2 is output from +2, -2. Talk to void to see if there are any dealers in France or maybe talk to a dealer in another country that can ship.The cable is rated above the maximum current draw, there is also a fuse for protection. The amp will come fitted with a 16 amp CEE Form as working current draws are not likely to be too high.

Like the current draw concept. Used to take 40A from a 30A wired fuse for stage lighting years ago, never blew the fuse, but a 63A MCB is a differnt issue and won't handle 32A startup. Seems an ideal tangible way to monitor how the DJ gain drifts upwards over a gig.
Why are you against handles? They must be negligible cost on the total hardware costs, and substantially improve the safety when the unit needs to be moved frequently, rather than racked up for life.

I think if you leave a space between amps then the weight of the amp might cause the rack strip to break or bend.
The cooling is so good in the new Infinites that if you will not need to put spaces between amps. In fact the case never gets hot, so it might cool other amps a bit that are near it.

Hmm... Waterproof housings?.. Naah.. The last couple of times I have had to deal with really rainy gigs, I have ended up leaving the ampracks in the trailer and basically ended up converting that to a heated production office instead of using a damp tent with a grass floor..
@ Rog: I assume the amp you are describing is the new Infinite XS series ?.. I noticed someone complaining about the RRP of these.. I dont see it as being *that* bad comparing to other brand name amps, but then again.. I am biased..

I think I'm allowed to mention the handles as you can see them. You can thank Fusion julez for the handles. Don't think I can mention the name of the amp though. I'll just call it the amp previously know as Infinite. What I can say is that I believe the above amp to be the finest pro amp ever made. I own nearly every amp thats ever been made and I'm not swapping this baby for anything else.

No need for a handle poll or vote. If you don't like them just take them off.
4 screws hold them in place and it will only take 1 min to take them off.
See, there is a win win situation in everything.
Tek, you can check out the specs here.

| Is that just 8 transistors per channel or can I assume there's the same again on the underside of the sinks?? |
Posted By: Rog
Date Posted: 12 May 2007 at 1:22am
|
You can assume Sir, and you would be right.
Each heatsink has 16 transistors. So 32 in total. There are also other transistors like driver stage and rail voltage switchers on the heatsinks.
It doesn't look like a lot of output transistor compared with older designed amps. Amps like the Hill DX3000 used something like 56 output transistors, but could only do 1500 watts into 2 ohms per side. Its because tansistors have become more powerful and can switch far more. The DX3000 probably used 50 to 75 watt transisitors, now we can use transistors that can handle more that 250 watts each.
So if you times 32 by 250 you get some idea of what we are talking about.

Thanks Rog..I guessed that was the case, and I know that not so many transistors are used these days, just thought 8 a side might be a bit light..
Funnily enough, I had a DX3000, my first ever bass amp, heavy beast.. And yes, chock full of transistors..Only used it a couple of times before it got killed by a surge from a genny..

Date Posted: 10 June 2007 at 1:58am

JD, The transistors are 250 watt onsemi's. Tek,
Yep its still doing its thing in the box. Still drivien into 1 ohms per side. I'm getting pissed off that I can't blow it up now, so have connected a compressor to made it work even harder. It now draws a minimum of 24 amps and a maximium of 35 amps continuously and still shows no signs of giving up.
To be honest, its a very tough test and shows how well the amp will survive in an install situation, but its doesn't really test for road worthyness. Thats why many were given out for beta testing to large rental compaines to throw about and use. Its the heating and cooling that can lead to problems with anything electronic and the moving of components as they cool can cause problems. Its also why I've had another amp on test being run into 1 ohm per side for many hours at a time, but then it gets thrown into the back of a truck and driven around at crazy speeds down some of the worst roads in Asia. Its not even straped down or in a flightcase, its just lose in the back of a big truck. As you you can see, I'm not taking any chances this time.

Well, fired mine up for the first time yesterday, outdoor gig on a large car park of a pub.
Didn't get chance to try it properly during the day, as shortly after sound check the owner had two complaints via phone, so ended up having to keep things lower during the event.
Even so, in the time i did get to 'play', very impressive. Managed to hit the limit lights only once, but at that stage it was stupidly loud. Very tight controlled bass. Even at low volume, inside the pub all you could hear was window rattling.
Something else I noticed was the bins seemed to play slightly lower than last time i ran them in the same configuration on the Inf 7. Would this be simply having more power per bin, or is it to do with what's used inside the new amp?
Got a handful of big shows over the next few weeks, looking forward to giving it a good test.
Regards.

Jamie,
How many amps did you see on the meter. What was its highest reading.
I've managed 36 amps into 2 ohms per side. But with 4 ohms per side I can usually draw from 14 to 24 amps.
The meter does not lye and is the only accurate way we have at this time of telling how much of a bass nutter you are. Higher the reading the more nuts you are.

This one! Next weekend, but it's not the 'official' carnival. There's a bit of politics over sound levels and the reasons behind it etc, so this is the 'real' carnival done by the community. And yes, Manchester does get some sun. It's rationed though. |

Just out of interest, how would the Inf 8 behave with the limiters turned off? ------------- Lighting, sound & staging hire www.eventstore.co.uk www.pauljamespromotions.com |

Based on the newest scientific approaches and years of experience with circuit design I would say.... it will clip.

Thanks for the information Rog.. the strategy you've used of intelligent limiting and multiple stages sharing the load like that to acheive efficiency seems to make a lot of sense. To be honest though, the lights on when limtiers kick in and nothing to indicate incrementally how close you are to max output still doesn't.
Perhaps one light to let the user know when the point of no increased output is reached would make sense? Yeah, i know most folks should be able to use their ears, but relying on our own senses, and sense, is just not what we expect from technology these days :)
