DESCRIPTION
Brilliant Engineers Create Brilliant Designs – The unique circuitry in the P1000
trans•ana is both clever and innovative! The TRANSconductance Active Nodal
Amplifier topology operates the output stage with its full voltage gain, which
allows the input stage to operate from a low voltage
regulated supply. The signal is then
shifted up in level to the high voltage
section by the driver stage which forms
an active node at ultrasonic frequen-
cies. This results in very stable, highly linear op-
eration producing a natural and accurate soundstage with exceptional
image focus!
NOMAD – Our proprietary NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision) system very accurately computes the allowable device current for the device
voltage and clamps the gate drive when the actual current exceeds this value.
This improved accuracy is achieved by eliminating the dependence upon
unreliable, analog (multiplier) circuits to model the device operation.
NOMAD prevents sonic degradation associated with other conventional

ARCHITECT’S AND ENGINEER’S SPECIFICATIONS
The audio power amplifier shall be solid state design employing 8 vertical
power MOSFET output devices. It shall be constructed on a 16 gauge steel
chassis utilizing convection cooling and be technician friendly using modular
construction.
Each channel shall be rated for a minimum of 50 watts into an 8 ohm load and
55 watts into a 4 ohm load with both channels driven. In bridged mono mode,
the amplifier shall produce at least 110 watts into an 8 ohm load. A switch shall
be provided for stereo or bridged mono operation and all power ratings shall
be measured from 20Hz-20kHz with less than 0.2% THD.
The amplifier’s back panel shall provide a switch to select Unbalanced inputs
via gold-plated RCA jacks or Balanced inputs via combination XLR and 1/4”
phone jacks. The back shall also utilize a screw type terminal barrier strip for
output connectors and a switch to isolate or connect the signal ground to the
chassis ground. The amplifier shall include a 3-wire grounded AC line cord
and a switch to operate the UI power transformer on either 115V/60Hz or 230V/
50-60Hz AC mains.
The amplifier’s front panel shall provide Full Range level controls with optional
security covers. The front shall also incorporate a lighted main power switch
and indicators for each amplifier channel. The indicators shall display signal
present when 30mV of signal is detected, signal clipping when distortion rises
above 1%, and thermal protection should the heatsink temperature become
excessive.
