The ALTEC LANSING Model 1270 Power
Amplifier provides continuous high power
demand where uninterrupted operation is
requisite. Designed to protect itself and the
acoustic elements it drives, the Model 1270
represents 800 + watts of controlled power.
Two channels may be operated independ
ently, in parallel or in bridged configuration
to deliver up to 400 watts per channel at
less than 0.05% THD from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Peak Error Computer
The amplifier is provided with a peak/error
computer that compares channel input and
output signals and detects any output
errors. Detection of any peak/error causes
the appropriate peak/error indicator to illu
minate. Output anomalies detected include
excessive voltage, excessive current (load),
excessive slew rate, and any other signifi
cant difference between the channel input
and output signal.
Amplifier Protection
The amplifier output is continuously mon
itored to guard against excessive current
drain. An instantaneous VI limiter restricts
output to 400 VA ±45° phase shift. The
amplifier is additionally protected against
excessive operating temperature; logic cir
cuitry automatically overrides low-speed
fan operation and locks to the high fan
speed mode. If operating temperature
remains excessive, the load is discon
nected by a relay and the protection indica
tor illuminates. When temperature falls to
safe operating conditions, the amplifier
automatically resumes operation.
Load Protection
The load is protected from transients dur
ing startup and shutdown of the amplifier.
During startup, the load remains discon
nected through a relay during a three-

second delay period. During shutdown or
loss of power, the load is instantaneously
disconnected by the relay. The load is simi
larly protected against amplifier failure,
such as dc voltage at the output.
