Orion Xtreme Series User Manual

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
PRS MOSFET POWER SUPPLY (PULSE REGULATED
SUPPLY)
A very large regulated power supply improves sound quality and
amplifier damping, so that large bass transients are reproduced
accurately. ORIONs power supplies are very stable and perform under
the most demanding conditions.
LARGE EFFICIENT HIGH EFFICIENCY
HEAT SINK
Large C n'C machined high efficient anodized alluminum heat sink
incorporating a large surface area allowing components to run cooler
and more efficiant for maximum heat dissapation.
MIXED/MONO OPERATION
One amplifier can power an entire speaker system using passive
crossovers. Left and right speakers run in stereo with a woofer
bridged mono. This is a very popular configuration for low cost entry
level system.
PARALLEL 8 PIN DIN AND RCA INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Amplifiers can be linked together using DIN or RCA connectors for
easy connection in multi-amp systems. These new eight pin DIN
connectors are fully compatible with previous ORION amplifiers,
crossovers and pre-amps.
TWO BUILT IN MODULE SLOTS
Two internal module slots are wired in series for unlimited system
flexibility. Use one crossover module for a 12dB per octave slope or
add an additional module to create a bandpass or 24dB per octave
crossover. Other types of modules for signal processing will be
introduced in the future.
INPUT SIGNAL ROUTING AND SUMMING
The input signal can be routed back out the amplifier via the DIN
plug or RCA jacks. The signal can be routed through the internal
crossover or be a full range output. The input signal can also be
summed mono.
GAIN STAGE BYPASS
The internal gain stage of the amplifier can be bypassed so that
one master amplifier can be used to control the gain of the slave
amplifiers. This can be used in systems with multiple low frequency
amps to perfectly level match the system. In addition, the gain stage
on the high frequency amplifier can be bypassed for improved sound
quality and a better signal to noise ratio. The signal to noise ratio is
improved by as much as lOdB.
REMOVABLE TOP PANEL
This provides easy access to the crossover ports and signal jumpers.
After the amplifier is installed it is very easy to add a crossover
module or reconfigure the input jumpers. To remove panel use a
small flat blade screwdriver. Use screwdriver on endplate in the hole
marked "cover release".
LARGE QUICK DISCONNECT POWER, GROUND
AND SPEAKER CONNECTORS
These new connectors accept larger gauge wire and simplify the
installation. With less power loss, the overall power and performance
of the system is improved.
MILITARY SPEC. DOUBLE SIDED PLATED THROUGH
CIRCUIT BOARDS
All ORION circuit boards are reinforced with nickel and plated
through for greater reliability with through hole parts.
15 VOLT PHANTOM POWER SUPPLY FOR ORION
SIGNAL PROCESSORS
On board power supplies for external processors eliminates
grounding problems that can cause engine noise in the system.
COMPLIMENTARY BI-POLAR MATCHED OUTPUTS
Matched outputs have less distortion and better sound quality.
Thermal stability is improved as heat is dissipated from the devices
more evenly.
NO (AUDIO) CURRENT LIMITING CIRCUITRY
The amplifier will produce more power at lower impedance loads,
without going into early protection.
