The specs and description below are taken from the user manual which will be included as a pdf file to the purchaser. Circuit diagrams will also be supplied in pdf format.These are awesome amplifiers ex touring sound rig, however I am downsizing so I have the last two for sale. This sale is for one amplifier only

The AS 6001is a high efficiency amplifier which Is capable of delivering a greaterpercentage of its input power to the speaker load than most other amplifiers.Under actual operating conditions itspower conversion efficiency approaches that of digital switching amplifiers.However, digital switching amps are still plagued by poor specifications andcumbersome operating constraints. The AS 6001 provides the superior transientresponse and low distortion figures associated with the best and most reliable analoguedesigns.DESIGNDETAILSTheAS 6001 represents a significant advance in the art and science of analog poweramplifier design. It incorporates MOFSETS where they should be used In thedriver stage where their immunity from secondary breakdown lets them reliablydrive bi-polar output devices which can present an essentially capacitive loadat high frequencies The unique design on the output stage uses four supplyvoltages This greatly reduces internal power dissipation. Rather than switchingbetween the various supply voltages, the AS 6001 smoothly directs its outputstage to the appropriate supply. The output is free of the “glitches”that plague other multiple supply designs. In fact, due to the propriety designof the power output section, the discontinuities visible on distortion analysis are much smaller than those normally associated with crossoverdistortion in single supply class AB designs. These circuit advances areclearly reflected in the superior specifications of the AS 6001. The AS 6001may be the first high power amplifier to offer specifications and sonicperformance equal to or surpassing ultra low distortion classes such as class-AamplifiersAPPLICATIONSThe AS 6001 was designedprimarily for high power applications. It excels at driving big systems andsub- woofers to their maximum SPL and its rugged, roadworthy constructionensures that it will keep on doing just that location to location for yearsto come.The AS 6001 is not only suitable for use in both heavy duty touringsound reinforcement systems but also when high headroom and ultra-lowdistortion are needed.This lastpoint needs emphasis: the AS 6001 will drive 8 Ohm loads with better sonicpurity and lower distortion than any “listening amplifier” we knowof, including those that cost much more. And, since the AS 6001 is built tosurvive gruelling road conditions and constant 2 Ohm operation, its reliabilityin a fixed installation running 4 or 8 Ohm studio monitors is without parallelOf course, what really counts is how it sounds.Listeners have commented that the AS 6001 provides the clearest. mosttransparent reproduction they have ever heard. You will have to judge foryourself.The amplifier delivers 650 watts per channel into 4 ohms both channels driven and 1000 watts per channel into 2 ohms both channels driven. The photographs are of one of the amplifiers I have for sale, the other unit is the same. The amplifier has been rack mounted all its life and is in excellent condition. The buyer will not be disappointed. I would prefer local collection so the buyer can see and hear the amplifier running and I do not really trust carriers with this type of equipment.
