Baldwin Boxall VIGIL2 Quad 50W Class D Amplifier BV050Q
Baldwin Boxall VIGIL2 Quad 50W Class D Amplifier BV050QThe Vigil2 BV050Q contains four independent 50 Watt Class D Power amplifiers each with one 500 mV balanced input and a 50 Watt 100V Line output. The front panel status indicators show Supply Healthy Overload Over Temperature and Output Level 10 and 100 max output level for each amplifier. The Active Indicator illuminates when the amplifier is not in Sleep Mode. CLASS D amplifiers are 80 efficient therefore reducing unwanted heat dissipation and power input requirements. Rated output power is obtainable using a 22V battery supply.The BV050Q has a Sleep mode automatically reducing the standby current requirement to typically 50mA per amplifier when operating on batteries. Channel gain may be individually set using the potentiometers on the board behind the front panel. The audio inputs to the amplifiers are presented on separate RJ45 connectors each connector providing the balanced audio input and a ground connection. The outputs are presented on 6-way plugscrew termination connectors providing 50V or 100V output. The 24V DC input is presented on a 2-way crimp connected plug and socket. The power output stage of the amplifier is protected against overload conditions i.e. short circuits or abnormal loads etc. Should the amplifier be subjected to an abnormal load the input to the power amplifier is attenuated to a safe level.The amplifiers output voltage is also sensed and should it exceed 100V the input signal will be attenuated ensuring safe operation without creating unnecessary distortion. Over temperature protection is provided using a sensor attached to the output stage heat sink. Should the temperature exceed 90 Degrees Celsius the input signal to will be attenuated to a safe level and the Overtemp LED will be illuminated. If the system is under surveillance it will cause the surveillance detector to indicate a fault condition due to the gain reduction. Up to three BV050Q Amplifier modules may be mounted in one BVMF equipment frame or more normally two amplifier modules and one switched mode power supply charger module.
