Electrical Disclaimer Further Information
For those in the know, this amplifier should need no introduction. Designed and built in Australia by Jon DeSensi of Music Labs fame, the UF1 is a hugely capable amplifier, designed to be able to drive complex loads with ease.
Huge capacitor power ensures heaps of reserve power for highly dynamic music.
From the OAD website:
The UF1 is extremely fast with ultra-bandwidth and has a high current capability. The amplifier copes gracefully with impedence dips to 4 Ohms and lower. As the load impedence of an amplifier is decreased to below 8 Ohms large signal non-linearities begin to appear. Unlike, crossover distortion, this large signal non-linearity is significantly dependent on the amplifier's output stage power transistors.
The UF1 utilizes the latest in transistor technology to deal with these significant distortions. The transistors used in the UF1 are in a different class from the more conventional transistors, in that, the current gain is completely maintained over its full power bandwidth. Correct utilization of these transistors minimizes not only the large signal non-linearities but significantly lowers crossover distortion.
Over-Current Protection - If the output current to the loudspeakers ever exceeds 15 amps, the speakers will electrically disconnect from the UF1 automatically.
Over-Temperature Protection - The temperature of the power transistors is permanently monitored. If the maximal operating temperature is exceeded, despite the more than adequate cooling system, the speakers will electrically disconnect from the UF1 automatically.
There are some very difficult to see marks on the top of the amplifier which may have been during production, and some minor marks near a couple of the screw holes on the side, as pictured. Otherwise in pristine condition and recently serviced by Jon and given a clean bill of health.
The amplifier will come with a reset of the original three year warranty, in writing by Jon. This amplifier has performed awesomely in my system and I know it wlll in yours too, so hurry up and get on board the OAD train! You will not regret it.
