RadioFans.CN INTRODUCTION The Hafler DH-500 is a two channel audio power amplifier designed to the very highest performance stan- dards. It is available as a kit, or factory assembled. Its power rating of 255 watts per channel is very conservative, and it can deliver appreciably higher powers into impe- dances below the rated 8 ohms. You must be very cautious in the application of this amplifier, as its output capability is more than most speakers can safely tolerate. We urge you to read the “Operation” section of this manual so your speakers will be reasonably protected. The best protection is still common sense in choosing program levels which your speakers can tolerate. The DH-500 combines power MOSFET technology with a uniquely simple and effective circuit which reduces all types of distortion at all power outputs, over the entire audio spectrum, to levels where the finest test equipment has great difficulty in measuring it. The DH-500 sets a new high in reliability and resistance to abusive operating con- ditions at such high powers. This is one of the direct ben- efits of the power MOSFET s ability to current limit under abnormal conditions. Where the conventional bipolar transistor must be pro- tected by special circuits from entering “thermal runa- way” when it gets hot due to heavy signals, tending to get even hotter, the MOSFET self-corrects to reduce the cur- rent, and thus the heat under the same conditions. You thus gain the dual advantages of simpler circuitry and the elimination of one of the chief causes for distorted signals imposed on the music-the sound of the actuation of com- plex protective circuits. The speed-measured as the slew rate-of the DH-500 delivers unmatched transient linearity, revealing the most delicate nuances of the music. In refining the basic Hafler MOSFET circuit the overall open loop gain was reduced by using more local feedback in the input stage. This re- quired less compensation to stabilize the circuit, with the result that it was faster overall. With the built in bandwidth limitation at the input, all other stages are free of any trans- ient overload. The fully complementary, symmetrical push-pull circuit is direct coupled throughout (except at the input). It uses all silicon discrete devices in a format which is directly re- lated to the acclaimed Hafler preamplifier circuit. With its unconditional stability into virtually any load, and its enormous power capability, the result is complete freedom from listening fatigue. The longer you listen to this re- markable amplifier, the more certain you will be that you could not have made a better choice. While modest in cost, through the elimination of frills and gadgetry, the quality is evident not only in the sound, but in the conservatively rated components. The over- sized power transformer, the conservative operating levels of the MOSFETs, the computer-grade electrolytics total- ling 40,000 microfarads, the enclosed relay, the use of film capacitors in signal circuits-all are evidence of the design efforts to achieve exceptional reliability simultaneously with state of the art sonics and specifications. So rugged is the DH-500 that it can deliver over 20 amperes into a short circuit! For those with special power needs, the DH-500 can be adapted to monophonic operation, delivering in excess of 800 watts into 8 ohms, by installing the DH-502 input bridging kit. Those who have chosen to build this amplifier from the kit will find the assembly instructions assume no technical ability other than how to make a good solder connection. Even that has been described for those who are new to the fun of kit building. Through pre-assembly and testing of the complete signal module, the performance of the kit has already been assured, for assembly involves little more than interconnection of the power supply and control ele- ments. You can look forward to just a few hours of con- struction fun, to hear the finest audio amplifier yet pro- duced.

However, any high power amplifier may draw enormous amounts of cur- rent, so you should make sure your preamplifier has the switching capacity for the amplifier s needs, as well as any other equipment which it also switches. inadequate switch current capacity may eventually render the switch in- operative The power switches in Hafler preamplifiers have been chosen for their high ratings, and have been tested and deemed suitable for normal home switching of the DH- 500. However, if the amplifier is intended for operation at sustained high power levels, or where power switching is very frequent, or where the control unit must switch sub- stantial additional current for other equipment, or if your control unit does not have the 15 ampere switching capac- ity, you should use the power switch on the DH-500, and connect it directly to the AC line. In such use, turn the amplifier on last, and switch it offfirst. This will avoid pos- sible loudspeaker damage from turn-on transients gener- ated by source equipment. A power transformer of this size puts out a noticeable hum field, even though the special design of this trans- former minimizes such radiation. If the amplifier is to be installed close to a record player, you should first check for freedom from hum pickup by the phono cartridge. Some cartridges are much more sensitive than others, and re- quire more separation from the amplifier. Check at a rela- tively high volume setting, while swinging the tone arm throughout its arc. A few inches additional space will usu- ally solve any problem. Ventilation is most important! Unobstructed air circula- tion at the sides and back is important for long trouble-free life. A 3 speed fan operates at its lowest speed whenever the amplifier is turned on, and is automatically switched to higher speeds at the power output demands it. Air is drawn in at the sides, and expelled to the rear. With normal home music levels the cooling capacity is sufficient that the fan will rarely operate at other than low speed, where it is so quiet that your ear must be close to a vent to hear it. The front panel is designed to facilitate mounting in a standard 19” rack. Be sure all of the cover screws are instal- led when the unit is supported by the front panel OPERATION The AC power cord should be plugged into a source of 120 volts, 60 Hz, unless the amplifier is specially provided with the multi-voltage optional transformer. Press the power switch to the right to turn the amplifier on. A red pilot lamp in the power switch signifies that it is on. If it is not illuminated, the most likely cause is a blown AC line fuse. That is the single fuse close to the switch inside the chassis. However, since the amplifier uses a 15 ampere slo-blo fuse, and the typical home circuit is also rated at 15 amps, check that as well. To avoid the turn-on transients generated in many con- trol units, there is a 3 second delay before the relay con- nects the speakers. A few preamps may require a longer delay to avoid their internally generated turn-on pulses. Information on extending this turn-on delay is available from the company on request. A standard 2-wire power cord was chosen in preference to a 3-wire grounded AC cord, because there is no signific- ant current leakage in this design. Where local require- ments dictate the need for a 3-wire power connection, a ground lug may be attached to the chassis adjacent to the AC line fuse holder. If the pilot lamp should ever blink (about 2-3 times a second), this signifies that a protective thermal breaker has shut down the amplifier because ofexcessive heat sink temperature. The fan will be operating at its highest speed, and as soon as the heat sink temperature has declined, the amplifier will automatically return to normal operation. Such an occurrence is extremely unlikely, and if the amplifier shuts down again and the lamp flashes, you should check for inadequate ventilation, or an excessive input signal, an extremely low load impedance, or an input which may have dangerous signal content (such as osciIla- tion). Failing evidence of this, the fan or the amplifier may have malfunctioned, Because of the very effective fan cooling, any normal signal will not cause the amplifier to overheat. At normal home use levels, the average power con- sumption is likely around 250 watts. The unit s efficiency is about 5O%, so some full power tests may exceed the ca- pacity of a 15 amp circuit. When performing tests, voltage losses due to long lines should be taken into consideration, or compensated for. Loudspeaker Fuse Selection The DH-500 is supplied with 2 ampere fuses in the speaker lines. This conservative value has been chosen for initial use because most high quality speaker systems can- not safely handle very high power levels, even though a high power amplifier invariably makes them sound their best. Since a substantial overload must continue for a few seconds before a fuse blows, a 2 ampere fuse will allow very high power peaks to pass without hindrance, yet will protect most speaker systems. Smaller fuses tend to blow too easily, and it is unlikely you will be using speakers with low power ratings with the DH-500. Larger fuse sizes may not adequately protect the majority of speakers intended for home listening. RadioFans.CN If the manufacturer of your speakers recommends a specific fuse value for their protection, you should obtain 3AG type fuses of that value and substitute them for the ones supplied. The speaker fuses are included in the amplifier design solely for speaker protection. They do not protect, or affect, the amplifiers operation. A blown speaker fuse does not indicate malfunction-simply a higher than normal output signal. If the amplifier produces a low level distorted signal, a blown speaker fuse is the most likely cause. We do not recommend the use of a slo-blo type fuse for speaker protection. If your speakers can handle the higher power levels safely, and you wish to install fuses of higher ratings, we suggest-for the sake of the speakers-that you increase fuse size in l/2 ampere increments. THIS AMPLIFIER IS ABLE TO DELIVER SUBSTAN- TIALLY MORE POWER THAN MOST SPEAKERS CAN SAFELY TOLERATE. Therefore the Hafler Com- pany cannot assume any responsibility for damage to the load (loudspeaker) because the choice o f fuse six is in your hands . The 2 amp fuse, with an 8 ohm load, permits continuous power up to 32 watts, with peaks well above that. 2-l/2 amps passes 50 watts; 3 amps, 72 watts; 5 amps, 200 watts. We have included a pair of 5 amp fuses as alternates, for temporary use as spares; for testing the amplifier at very high power levels; and for operation into very low load im- pedances, 5 amps will pass 80 watts into a 4 ohm load. We suggest that you obtain additional type 3AG fuses of the appropriate size for your speakers. Loudspeaker Power Ratings There are no U.S. standards for rating the power han- dling capabilities of loudspeakers. As a result the manufac- turers usual “music power” ratings, or suggested amplifier limits, are of only minimal help in determining safe operating levels with amplifiers which can deliver enormous amounts of power. On the other hand, some speakers, particularly tweeters, can also be damaged through the use of too small an amplifier if it is driven into sustained clipping. However, tweeters are also more vul- nerable to high level signals which are not always notice- ably loud to the ear (as from electronic music sources), so you may wish to separately protect the tweeters with fuses of lower rating. You must take into consideration the type of music, and the levels you like, to provide long term trouble-free operation of your speaker choice, when you have a very powerful amplifier like the DH-500. If more than one pair of speakers will be connected to the amplifier, proper protection would dictate that each speaker be separately fused, since when they are operated in parallel, the combination of lower impedance and the higher power handling capacity would suggest a much larger fuse at the amplifier than would provide individual protection. If full power tests are to be performed, particularly at low load impedances, fuse ratings above 10 amps may be required for the duration of the test.
