lower than their maximum rating). The MOSFET will even withstand a dead
shorted output resulting in very high drain current without any protection circuitry
for a very short time.
MOSFETS also do not have a “storage time” associated with them (a
phenomenon found in bipolar transistors in which a certain amount of time is
required to turn the transi.stor off). Therefore the MOSFET is said to be a “fast”
device which can function very accurately with high amplitude/high frequency
signals and transient waveforms.
The unmatched reliability of the power MOSFET output devices and the
integrity of the rugged mechanical design of the FTX series amplifiers ensure years
of maintenance-free service.
UNPACKING
As a pari of our system of quality control, every Ashly product is carefully
inspected before leaving the factory to ensure flawless appearance. After unpack­
ing, please inspect for any physical damage. Save the shipping carton and all
packing materials, as they were carefully designed to reduce to minimum the
possibility of transportation damage should the unit again require packing and
shipping, in the event that damage has occurred, immediately notify your dealer so
that a written claim to cover the damages can be initiated.
The right to any claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is
not notified promptly and if the shipping carton and packing materials are not
available for inspection by the carrier. Save ail packing materials until the claim has
been settled.
POWER
Connect the FTX series amplifier to a standard 3-wire grounded electrical
outlet supplying 120 volts, 50-60 Hz (some export models are wired for 240 volts).
The power consumption is given in the specifications section.
STANDARD CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
The rear panel of a FTX-2000 amplifier with the standard input panel is shown
in figure I. For descriptions of other input options available, see the section on input
options.
