SAE 2201

 At last, an amplifier that listens to loudspeakers.

You buy an amplifier to drive loudspeakers. If you're like most people, you rely heavily on distortion "specs" to make a buying decision. SAE found that today's specs don't tell you ererything. How could they when the tests for these specs don't even require an amplifier to drive a loudspeaker. They use a load resistor instead … a static, predictable, unchanging  representation of the dynamic, unpredictable, ever-changing loudspeaker. As a result, specs can't tell you how well an amplifier is going to handle your loudspeakers. SAE has researched this problem and developed a test which actually measures the amplifier while it drives a loudspeaker. 

 2201 Technical Features

High Capacity Power Supply - with toroid power transformer provides massive energy reserve for bass transients.

Toroid Power Transformer - provides a significantly reduced hum field for improved signal to noise ratio.

Turbo-Flow heatsinks - designed by SAE to break-up the laminar air flow surrounding conventional heatskins and thus significantly improve amplifier's heat dissipation under heavy or continuous use.

LED Power Display - provides fast, accurate indication of 2401 output in both dB and watts at 8 ohms.

Rackmounting - are standard rack heights and provide EIA standard spacing for rack mounting holes. Proper rear support should be provided ,should extended transportation in a rack be anticipated.

Transission Line - this amplifier may be connected directly to 25 volt transmission systems and through appropriate transformers to 70 volt system.

Forced Air Cooling - for special application where high ambient temperatures and /or very low impedance loads are encountered, we offer the 4301 Rack Mount Fan System.
