New Higher-Power
pro-Series Amplifier - the most powerful Heathkit amp ever.
Heath Company helped
pioneer the field of high-power amplifeiers. Now, advances in high-power output
devices, new design technology and extensive listening tests make the Heathkit
AA-1800 Pro-Series Audio Amplifier one
of the best high-power amps available. The wider dynamic range achieved by new
recording techniques require power and headroom to reproduce the full sound
spectrum, without clipping peaks. People who listen to the AA-1800 find
accurate, clearly defined music - at a wallet-pleasing price.
From the power cords
to the speaker outputs, more value is built into the AA-1800. a wire-frame
chassis, similar to those used in computers, makes the AA-1800 a more durable
unit in a smaller package, with excellent ventilation. This new chassis
simplifies the easy 24-hour kitbuilding experience, too. Two line cords with
remote AC switching relieve your preamp from the need to switch high currents.
Convection cooling means no fans and quieter operation. Individually fused
power supply lines, along with rugged output devices, eliminate electronic
dissipation limiters - which can cause tweeter-damaging clicks and pops. LEDs
for each channel indicate full easy access.
Complete
speaker protection includes a speaker
turn-on delay - which keeps power-up and power-down transients away from the
speakers. In fact, the AA-1800's speaker protection system is so efective,
we've applied for a patent.
Thermal circuit
breakers protect the system from excessive heat.
Designed in the
striking pro-Series style, the AA-1800 can be mounted in any EIA Standard
19-inch rack, such as the AE-1705 Pro-Series Rack. Large side handles are
provided for easy rack mount installation.
