The M666 100 watt audio power amplifier is an ac operated, plug-in module designed for professional applications in the broadcast, motion picture and sound recording industries. The unit represents the continuing development and expansion of the well proven WBS 600 series of modular components and offers a wider scope of selection for monitor amplifiers from this design category. The circuit utilizes differential operational amplifiers to produce an ultra- reliable transformerless design capable of developing a minimum of 100 watts rms to drive an 8 ohm loudspeaker directly Other Ioad impedances (4, 16 ohms, etc:) may be accommodated with appropriate power output inter- polation.

A unique protection circuit incorporated within the M666 activates instantan- eousiy during adverse amplifier load conditions or at a predetermined power output level. The amplifier does not sustain damage even when deliberately shorted at full power output: FEATURES: 10Ow rms direct output into 8 ohms Compact design mounts in standard WBS 57 inch MFGA rack frame Self contained power supply Operational amplifier transformer- less IC design with unique short- circuit protection A combination of conditional frame strapping and a variable front panel level control permits the M666 to operate over an input signal range of OdBm to +20dBm: 1Ok bridging input balanced/ unbalanced The M666 presents a permanent 1Ok ohm impedance at the input and is capa- ble of operating from a balanced or unbalanced source.

The unit exhibits ex- ceedingly uniform frequency response with low noise and distortion over the frequency range 20 Hz to 20kHz: The modest size of 8.5W x SHx13.7Dinches allows two M666 monitor amplifiers to be accommodated in one standard rack mounting (19W x 5.25H) MFGA equipment frame: Active elements contained on plug- in subsidiary PC card Hes M666
