FET-2000C
shly, the first professional
audio manufacturer to release
| Wb a MOSFET power amp, is
YB proud to introduce the next
generation, the FET-2000
Series. During its frst decade,
our original FET Series
became a standard for applica
tions requiring the utmost in
sonic excellence and extreme reliability. We
how improve upon that reputation by offer-
ing more models with better specifications
than ever betore.
‘The FET-2000 series is offerad in two vari-
ations:
‘The FET-2000M features LED meters and
balanced XLR oF 1/4” inputs, This design is
intended for demanding sound reinforce
‘ment, broadcast lacilties, recording studios,
(or any application where visual monitoring
and interlacing with balanced equipment is
essential
The FET-2000C is designed to meet the
needs of protessional industrial installations
such as theater, public address and stadium
use. In these situations meters. and XLR
inputs are not typically required, so the FET-
2000C is supplied without meters and ut
lizes barier strip and 1/4" Inputs. This
amplifier provides all of the same perfor-
mance benefits as the FET-2000M al a
ower cost
The FET-2000 series represents Ashly’s
‘ongoing dedication to extending the bound-
aries of technology. Simple, stable circuitry
produces better sound. Ashly MOS-FET
ampliiers use a complementary, all-discrete
design, The crver is pure class-A and,
because it has only two stages, requires it
tle compensation allowing both spood and
linearity with no orossover-notch distortion,
The oulput stage consists of paralleled
power MOS-FETS for current gain. The
MOS-FETs have smooth transconductance
curves and run at a relatively high idle cur
rent, again preventing crossover notch ds:
tortion. They raquire no dissipation-imiing
protective citculty and provide virtually inf
rite power gain, keeping load rellectons
from the driver stage. This promotes stability
‘and low distortion when driving reactive
loads like loudspeakers.
Special attention is paid to overload per
formance; when an Ashly amp is overdriven,
it will cip cleanly wih a slightly rounded
edge totaly ree from spikes and gitches.
Tolal immunity to power supply variations
insures that transient distortions are never
generated on program material with wide
‘dynamic range.
“The rasult: powertul and quick amplifiers
that deliver unrestrained, uncolored sound
quality with remarkable accuracy.
To ensure compatibility with every installa
tion and insure the protection of every user,
Ashly power amplifiers are listed with UL.
Plus, each is backed by Ashiy’s exclusive
five-year worry-free warranty.
