POWER 750 SPECIFICATIONS POWER 750 SPECIFICATIONS The Power 750 Power Amplifier from SWR Sound Corporation is a high qualit y , all purpose power amplifie r . It uses a discreet power suppl y , quasi-complementary power amp design utilizing SIX 15 amp, 250 volt bi-polar NPN devices direct coupled to the output via an in-line speaker fuse.
GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKER CABINETS CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKER CABINETS The Power 750 is a MONO amplifier. All of the speaker outputs (both 1/4" and Speakon) are in parallel, meaning that they all run off of the same mono power amplifier inside the unit.

SPEAKON VS. 1/4" JACKS SPEAKON VS. 1/4" JACKS We have found the Speakon connection to be superior in both stability and amperage conductivity, and so we have provided Speakon output jacks in addition to the standard 1/4" jack.
A FEW WORDS CONCERNING HEAT A FEW WORDS CONCERNING HEAT One of the most asked questions about our amplifiers is why they tend to get warmer than other amps. The chassis of your amplifier can get quite warm during normal usage. This is especially true if you are are driving the amplifier at its minimum impedance.
ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS In a rack system with a large power amplifier such as the Power 750, placement of effects units and preamplifiers with respect to the power amplifier may be important as hum induction may occur.
