    2. Overview The poambo is a High-End power amplifier. Its convincing sound quality makes it a perfect partner in studio and HiFi environments, paying attention to audio reproduction without compromises. It perfectly fits to high resolution formats as the SACD, DVD-Audio and Vinyl as well as analog tapes.

    5.2. The front panel of the poambo Abbildung 5.2.1: front of poambo Two LEDs in the i-points of the finitus logo indicate the operating mode, both are illuminated red during normal operation. If they flash alternately, a special operating condition exists and is displayed on the LEDs. The special operating conditions are...

    6. The Interior Of The poambo Analog signal processing is very important inside the poambo. The entire path of the audio signal is pure analog and set up discretely. No operational amplifiers or audio chips are used. A functional separation of the analog protection circuits and a complete physical seperation of the digital circuitry from the rest of the amplifier keeps the audio signal extremely clean.

    Fan noise? No, the poambo uses purely passive cooling! Quasi dc coupled system • The lower cutoff frequency is so low that the poambo behaves like a dc- coupled system. Nevertheless, it blocks dc voltages at the input, protecting the speakers.

    Make sure the poambo is turned off before you connect the speaker or signal cables. 7.1. Connection to the mains Set up the poambo and connect it to an AC outlet. Be sure that your model fits your country voltage. Do not turn on the poambo yet.
  • Page 12: Cleaning The Poambo

    Spray a rag or preferably a microfiber cloth with cleaning agent and distribute it in the brushing direction on the surfaces of the poambo. Rub evenly over the entire surface until the agent is dried up. This way you get the typical streak- free shine of the poambo.

    The bandwidth is increased and the amplifier circuit is decoupled from disturbances in the supply voltage. In addition, the distortion is much lower than with resistive loads. This technique is used not only in the differential part of the poambo circuits.
