Phase Linear Model 400 Series II, Audio Standard Amplifier - SOLD

In 1978 the Phase Linear, Model 400 Series Two was introduced. This model was new, inside and out. The owners manual gave a rated output of 210 watts per channel. More important were the improved specifications. The old-style VU meters were gone. In their place were two multi-LED output meters, shared with the 700 and D-500 Series Two amps. Output from each channel could now be controlled by a knob beneath each meter. Rack handles were now standard.

The 400 Series II, designed by world renowned Audio designer Bob Carver, is a high-powered audio amplifier designed to meet the rugged requirement demanded in professional applications, in which many of these were used for. Yet it retains the look and hi-resolution sonic quality that appealed to Hi-fidelity fanatic's world wide. It is a golden age classic, although that designation should in no way suggest it is outmoded. It performs to a level of fidelity that's rare even for the most advance, and expensive, contemporary amplifiers.

The 400 II has a seemingly limitless power reservoir, it powers out the entire audible frequency range with authority and grace. IT provides a stunning level of sonic detail and distortion levels are ultra low. Its timeless beauty and rock-solid construction is a reminder of craftsmanship from an era-gone-by.

High-Performance circuitry of the 400II utilizes 16 rugged 150-watt silicon power transistors providing a power handling capacity of 2400 watts!
