1.Power Switch
Used to turn the amplifier on or off.
2.Standby LED
Indicates that the amplifier is connected to the mains but has not been switched
on.
3.Level Controls
Used to control CH 1 & 2's output levels.
4.Power LED's
The Power LED's indicate that each channel is active.
5.Signal LED's
When illuminated the LEDs indicate an audio signal is present at the channel's
output.
6.'CEP' LED's (L)
The CEP LED's indicate the Clip Elimination circuit is active. The CEP circuit
works by examining the audio output signal, it then regulates many circuits
within the amplifier to reduce clipping at the output. Note that the CEP circuit
can only prevent a clipped waveform from be generated within the amplifier
itself, it cannot remove a clipped waveform that has been produced from a
component earlier in the chain.
7.Protect LED's (P)
The protect LED's light up when the amplifier detects speaker over excursion,
dangerous subsonic frequencies, DC or thermal overload. Note the protect LED's
also indicate the soft start circuit is active, so will illuminate during power on.

Notes
Specifications
Bridge Mode
When driving bass speakers the minimum load in bridge mode must be 8 ohms.
Connect to input 1 only and use the two CH1 speakon outputs or both + binding posts.
Use +1 for signal + and +2 for signal - Minimum impedance in bridge mode must be 8
ohms for bass use or 4 ohms for midtop use. The amplifier is mono when running in
bridge mode and both CH1 speakons output the same signal. When using the binding
posts for bridge mode, CH 1 + terminal is signal + and CH2 + terminal is signal -
Parallel Switch
Input 1 is linked to input 2. Connect to input 1 or input 2, the same signal will output
from both CH1 and CH2 outputs. Each channels level is set with its own level control.
Note that parallel operation on Infinite amplifiers is not like the parallel mode on some
amplifiers that allow you to drive into very low impedances. Parallel mode on Infinite
series amplifiers makes both inputs receive the same signal.
VSP Velocity Sense Protection
All version 2 Infinite amplifiers are equipped with velocity sensing protection.
The VSP circuit monitors back EMF and will attenuate the output for a very brief period
if the amplifier detects over excursion or potential damage to a speaker.
If very severe overload conditions are detected and speaker failure is imminent, the
amplifier will mute its output for a brief period. Reducing the amplifiers output level will
stop the protection circuit from muting the output in this situation.
Please note that the VSP circuit can only assist with protecting your speakers.
It in no way guarantees complete protection against any component failure and safe
working practices should always be followed with regard to matching amplifier output
levels to speaker input ratings.
Onboard Filter Network
The onboard filter network allows both Hi and Lo pass filters to be set on individual
channels. A typical arrangement might be to set a Lo pass filter on channel 1 and use it
to drive bass speakers and to set a Hi pass filter on channel 2 and use it to drive
midtop speakers. The frequency select switch would be used to set the crossover
frequency in this case. The crossover frequency can be 90Hz, 120Hz or 160Hz.
Both Hi and Lo sections of the crossover are also output from the 4 rear panel jack
sockets, permitting the onboard crossover to feed other amplifiers in the system. The Hi
outputs are from the Hi Pass section and the Lo outputs are from Lo Pass section. This
allows for the amplifier with the crossover to drive bass speakers and other amplifiers
to drive midtop speakers, or vice versa. Note that the crossover outs, output both Lo
With the amplifier connected to 230VAC, check that the front panel 'standby' LED is illuminated.
If the green standby LED is illuminated then voltage is reaching the control board. If the
standby LED is not illuminated, then check the rear panel fuse.
2. Protect and Channel Power On Check.
If the front panel 'standby' LED is illuminated switch on the amplifier via the front panel 'power'
button. Both channels pink protect (P) LED's should illuminate between 1 to 2 seconds. You
should also be able to hear the relays engage as the protect LED's stop illuminating. Now
check if both channels 'on' LED's are illuminated. If one or both protect LED's stay illuminated,
this indicates a problem on the channel(s) main output board.
3. PSU Output Voltage Assessment.
Make sure the mains input voltage is 230 VAC +/- 1V and connect the - probe of a DVM to
chassis ground and the + probe to the + and - Hv, Lv outputs on the PSU board. The outputs on
the PSU board are shown in fig 1.

4. Channel Output Board LV Check.
Make sure the mains input voltage is 230 VAC +/- 1V and connect the - probe of a DVM to
chassis ground and the + probe to the bottom fuse on the left CH 1 output board. Do the same
with the top fuse on the left channel and both top and bottom fuses on the right CH 2 output
board. Left and right (CH 1 and CH 2) identifications are looking from the front of the amplifier.
The following voltages should be measured if the amplifier is in correct working order.
Infinite 6 V2
Left CH bottom fuse +58 VDC
Left CH top fuse - 58 VDC
Right CH bottom fuse - 58 VDC
Right CH top fuse +58 VDC
Infinite 5 V2

Fig 2. shows the positions of the fuses on the right channels output board.
To check that the rear input board is receiving the correct voltage connect the - probe of a DVM
to chassis ground and the + probe to the +15 VDC & - 15 VDC inputs on the rear input board.

The +/- 15 VDC for each channels input board is fed from the main output board.
The four 3w 3k9 resistors and both IN4744A diodes are responsible for the voltage step down
to 15 VDC. Fig 2. shows the location of the four resistors and two diodes.
The Infinite 4 V2 model uses two 5w 1.5k resistors in place of the four 3w 3k9 resistors, but
shares the same diodes as both Infinite 5 and 6 models.

7. Current Limit Check And Trim
Turn both channels limiters off and connect each output of the amplifier to a dual trace
oscilloscope and an 8 ohm dummy load with a power rating sufficient for the amplifiers rated
output into 8 ohms. Fed both channels inputs from a signal generator capable of generating sine
waves from 20Hz to 20kHz. Set the sig gen to 100Hz and turn up the gain control on one of the
amplifiers channels until the waveform just begins to clip. Both + and - peaks should clip at the
same time and look identical. If one side of the waveform looks different, then adjust Pots 102
as shown in fig 4. until both sides of the waveform are the same. There are two 102 Pots, one
adjusts the + current limit while the other adjusts the - current limit. Do this for both channels
then display both channels on the scope at the same time and make sure all the waveforms
reach clip at the same time and look the same. Also perform this test with the amplifier in bridge
mode to check for the uniformity of the waveform.
Fig 5. shows how the waveform should look when the current limit is correctly setup.
CorrectIncorrect
fig 5.
With the amplifier from cold, use a DVM to measure the voltage across one of the 5w 0.22 ohm
resistors. The voltage measured should be 1mV. If the measured voltage is not 1mV then adjust
pot 101 until you get a reading of 1mV. Fig 4. shows the position of one of the 5w 0.22 ohm
resistors and Pot 101. Check both channels and make sure the channel to channel tolerance is
below 0.4 mV. i.e. channel 1 reading 1.2 mV and channel 2 reading 0.8 mV. These values are
the same for Infinite 4, 5 and 6 models.
While the amplifier is still connected to the scope, sig gen and 8 ohm dummy load, connect a
true RMS volt meter across the output of one of the channels. Run both channels and the same
time and check that the voltages measured on each channel are the the same as listed below at
50Hz, 100Hz, 1Khz and 20kHz. Make sure both channels output limiters are on during this test.
