Introduction
The Hafler SR2300 and SR2800 amplifiers are two rack height, two channel, fan-cooled professional power amplifiers suit-
able for use in the most demanding sound reinforcement and commercial sound installations. These amplifiers offer out-
standing efficiency by means of three technologies: high-efficiency TRANS•nova Class-G circuitry, high-frequency switch-
ing power supplies, and constant power output/load impedance selection switches.
Technical Design Features
WHY A NEW AMPLIFIER TOPOLOGY?
Hafler TRANS•nova amplifiers, the recording studio reference, have a floating +/- power supply for each channel and a
novel drive system covered by U.S. Patents 4,467,288 and 5,567,000. Our challenge was to convert this topology into a
high efficiency design with minimal increase in complexity-yielding an amplifier of outstanding audio qualities, high effi-
ciency and unprecedented value. TRANS•nova Class-G is that answer.
The most common high-efficiency (Class-H) methods raise the rail voltages going to the output devices for higher power
levels. TRANS•nova Class G does not do this. Instead, it operates by forming a triplet or triplex of tracking signals: A, (A+V)
and (A–V), where A is the raw audio output and +/– are the floating rails. The amplifier final output is selected to be at an
appropriate voltage between (A+V) and (A–V) for each condition of the signal. The output voltage and current capability are
each potentially doubled and the power potentially quadrupled–without having to increase the rail voltages fed to the
devices. One or more patents are expected from this technology.

WHAT ELSE DISTINGUISHES THESE AMPLIFIERS?
Constant power into varying impedances. It takes twice as much current to develop a given wattage into 2Ω as it does into
8Ω—but only half the voltage. Many amplifiers quote a high output current at 2Ω but have an unpublished operating time
measured in a handful of seconds—before thermal shutdown (hopefully) precludes thermal meltdown.
Our solution for this is selectable rail voltages for optimizing the amplifier to the load. This is impractical for conventional
line-frequency supplies—and it comes at a cost for switching supplies. A full PWM design is needed, adding a coupled out-
put inductor, a current-sense transformer and a current-mode controller IC. An impedance selector switch is also needed
for each channel, simultaneously altering the rail voltage and the current limit. Each channel of the amplifier can be inde-
pendently optimized for 2Ω, 4Ω, and 8Ω, useful in bi-amping and tri-amping, etc. Both 70 and 100 volt constant voltage
line operation are possible. Instructions on the back of the amplifier explain the various options.
UNIVERSAL LINE VOLTAGE INPUT
Voltage selection is provided in two bands: 100-140 volts and 200-265 volts, (both 50-60 Hz) via two quick-connect termi-
nals located on the EMI filter board, accessed by removing the top cover. The current-mode control system automatically
corrects for the bulk of power line variation with each band. This allows most of the PWM action to be reserved for pro-
gramming and regulation of output voltages. A flyback topology provides the numerous housekeeping low voltages required
by various circuits.
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
Fan control circuit - Each amplifier channel has a fan control circuit that measures the temperature of the heatsink, and
adjusts the fan speed accordingly. This thermally-tracking fan speed circuit keeps fan noise to a minimum when power
demands are low. Typically the fans will be turning slowly even at idle conditions - although abnormally low room temper-
atures may allow the fans to turn off completely. The fan control circuit also has a turn-on blast feature that runs the fans at
full speed for a few seconds every time the amplifier is turned on. This serves the dual function of cleaning out the air tun-
nel, and providing a simple means to check the fans for proper operation. If you suspect that the fans are not operating cor-
rectly, try turning the amplifier off, then listening or feeling for the turn-on blast when the amplifier is turned back on.
Thermal Standby - If excessive heatsink temperature is detected, the individual amplifier channel will go into thermal stand-
by mode. The amplifier will be turned off, and the THERMAL LED illuminates until heatsink temperatures return to normal.
At that time the amplifier automatically turns back on, and continues operating normally.
NOMAD protection - The amplifier output MOSFETs are protected from excessive power dissipation by NOMAD protec-
tion circuitry. NOMAD (Non-Multiplying Advance Decision) limits the power when it measures signal voltage and current
conditions that will exceed the pre-determined power limit of the MOSFETs. This instantaneous power calculation is per-
formed on each output MOSFET, causing the amplifier to automatically limit power when needed. In this way, a speaker
load with an impedance “dip” over a particular frequency range will only activate the NOMAD protection when sufficient
audio is present at that same frequency range, but continue operating normally otherwise.
Short protection - The NOMAD protection circuit also protects against shorts, and will instantly limit the output power if
speaker wires are shorted together. Normal operation will continue immediately after the short is removed.
Power Supply Current Limiting protection- The switching power supply will protect itself from excessive power dissipation
by continuously monitoring currents in the switching MOSFETs. The Current Limiting circuit measures the currents in the
switching MOSFETs and will instantly limit them to a safe level.
Soft turn-on/fast turn-off - Speaker loads are protected from turn-on/turn-off transients by a circuit that monitors the power
supply, and controls the amplifier when power on/off events are detected. At turn-on, this circuit waits for power supply
voltages to settle, then sends a turn-on ramp signal to slowly turn the amplifier on. At turn-off, this circuit acts quickly to
turn off the amplifier before power supply capacitors discharge, and voltages collapse into the output signal - causing
speaker “pops”.

Installation
The SR2300/2800 is a standard 2U (2 rack height) 19" rack-mount unit, with both front and rear rack mounting ears. In
portable systems, the amplifier must be supported at both the front and rear.
!
COOLING
The SR2300/2800 uses forced-air cooling (fan cooling) to remove the heat produced during normal operation. Free air flow
at the mounting location is a critical factor in accomplishing long-term reliable operation of the amplifier.
Maximumoperating ambient temperature is 40°. The internal fans of the amplifier pull in fresh (cool) air from the rear panel,
and force the heated air out the front panel. This air flow must be as open and free of obstructions as possible. Also take
care to exhaust the heated air away from the front panel intakes, so as not to recirculate and reheat the same air over and
over again. In a rack system, make sure there is a significant source of fresh air to the rack. This can be achieved with air
conditioning vents to the top of the rack, an open back that is well ventilated, or rack panel fans/vents. In the case of rack
panel fans/vents, the cooling will be most effective when the amplifier(s) are located as far away from the fans/vents as pos-
sible, to prevent air recirculation i.e. amplifiers at the bottom, fans/vents at top. Allow a minimum of 3” clearance in the
front and back of the amplifier for adequate ventilation. When installing equipment in a rack, take care that the weight is
distributed evenly. Hazardous conditions may be created by uneven weight distribution.
POWER/THERMAL REQUIREMENTS
For your convenience in planning for sufficient power and cooling in the amplifier environment, we have included AC
mains current draw and thermal dissipation values in the Specifications Sheet. The specifications listed are for idle (no sig-
1
1
nal), / th power (“normal operating conditions” for continuous voice or music), and / rd power (worst-case hard-clipped
8
3
music) for an amplifier with both channels driven. The thermal dissipation specifications indicate how much heat will have
to be removed from the amplifier environment under the three different conditions.
NOISE
The SR2300/2800 exceeds all relevant international emissions and immunity standards, and has further been specifically
designed to minimize interference in Pro-Audio environments. Regardless of this fact, amplifiers consume, process and
deliver significant amounts of power over a wide frequency range. Standard practice calls for caution to be exercised in the
placement of signal cables and signal-level components such as mic preamps, tuners, etc., to avoid inducing noise in the
low level circuitry. Possible sources of noise are: AC current in shared power lines, magnetic interference between adjacent
rack-mount units, high current audio speaker cables. In general:
Avoid:
Mounting sensitive signal processing equipment directly above or below amplifiers.
Sharing AC power outlets between amplifiers and signal processing equipment.
Bundling signal cables with speaker cables or AC power cords.
AC LINE
!
Connect the unit to a properly rated supply circuit. The SR2300/2800 can be configured to operate within the following AC
mains voltage ranges:
100-140VAC, 50-60Hz (115VAC, 60Hz typ.)
200-265VAC, 50-60Hz (230VAC, 50Hz typ.)
Connection is made by 14 gauge, IEC type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly grounded
(earthed) receptacle should be used. If a grounded circuit is not available, do not break off the ground pin; use the proper
adapter plug for a two wire receptacle. The AC mains fuse is accessible at the rear panel of the amplifier. If this fuse blows
replace it only with the same type and rating fuse. The correct replacement fuse value is printed on the rear of the amplifier,
and on the specifications page.

AUDIO GROUND CHASSIS/FLOAT SWITCH
In general, the Audio Ground of each amplifier should be connected to AC mains earth ground AT ONE POINT ONLY-
either through the Chassis (by selecting the "Chassis" position) OR through the input cable (with the switch in the "Float"
position, and pin 1 of the XLR or the sleeve of the 1/4" connected to the ground of the signal source unit.)
The Chassis/Float switch can be used as a means to troubleshoot ground loop problems, or to verify wiring. Ground loops
are characterized by a hum or buzz through the speakers, and occur when multiple paths exist for a given ground circuit.
This switch allows the Audio Ground to be temporarily "lifted" or "floated" from the chassis, so continuity tests can be made
to verify or reverse-engineer a grounding system. The following information will be useful when planning or troubleshoot-
ing system wiring:
• The chassis is permanently conected to the earth (safety) ground pin of the Mains power connector.
• The Audio Ground of each SR2300/SR2800 is permanently connected to the black terminals of both output binding posts,
to pin 1 of each XLR input, and to the sleeve of each 1/4" input.
• The XLR shell is permanently connected to chassis.
• With the Chassis/Float switch in the "Chassis" position, the Audio Ground will be connected to the Chassis and AC mains
earth ground. This connection is made through a 0Ω resistor (R350) located on the input board. The resistor serves as a
fuselink in the case of severe system faults. To check this resistor, remove all connectors from the amplifier and discon-
nect the AC main plug. With the switch in the "Chassis" position, use an ohmmeter to measure the 0Ω resistance between
the earth ground pin of the AC mains plug and Audio Ground at either black terminal of the output binding posts.
• By selecting the “Float” position, the Audio Ground is not directly connected to the chassis, and can be referenced to
some other ground through the input cable or speaker ground. For safety reasons, a 0.1uF capacitor (C125) permanently
connects Audio Ground to chassis at RF frequencies, but only presents 27kΩ of impedance at 60Hz.
!
OUTPUT
The speaker output connectors are dual binding posts which will accept wire up to 12 AWG, or spade connectors. They are
spaced on 3/4" centers for use with dual banana plugs. The positive output red terminals are oriented such that a dual
banana plug can be used for bridged mono operation.
POWER SWITCH
The power switch is located on the front of the amplifier. Two green "Power" LEDs indicate that the corresponding amplifier
channel is turned on. Standard practice is to turn the amplifier on last, and off first when powering your system on and off.
This insures that any turn on/off glitches in source components or signal processing equipment will occur before the ampli-
fier is turned on, or after it is turned off. It is possible to leave the power switch on at all times and switch the amplifier
remotely with a breaker switch or other AC power switch. When doing so make sure the switch is rated for the current
required by the amplifier.
THX (SR2800)
!
The SR2800 is THX approved only when installed and adjusted by an authorized service technician and the security cover
is installed to prevent further adjustments.
Install the plexiglass security cover onto the front of the amplifier with the screws provided. Ensure the access hole for the
power switch is located properly.
NOTE: To maintain THX approval, when the system requires service, adjustment or reconfiguration, have it done by an
authorized service technition.

Operation
The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal source.
INPUT
The input jacks used on the SR2300/2800 are dual function connectors which accept 1/4" TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) or male
XLR plugs. The amplifier will operate with either a balanced or unbalanced signal, from earth ground or floated source
equipment. To determine if your equipment is earth grounded or floated, consult the owner’s manual or test with an ohm-
meter.
The signal connections are as follows:
XLR Balanced
1/4" TRS Balanced
1/4" Mono Unbalanced
sleeve shorts amplifier
— input to audio ground
Tip
Ring Sleeve
Tip
Sleeve
DAISY CHAIN OUTPUT
Proper cable wiring will be determined by the source equipment that is feeding signal to the amplifier.
EARTH GROUNDED SOURCE EQUIPMENT
Source Units with a 3-pin mains power cord will typically have the audio output ground connected to the earth-grounded
chassis. This can be verified with an ohmmeter by disconnecting the mains power cord from the AC outlet and checking for
continuity between the earth ground pin and the audio output ground. This test should be done with the equipment
installed in the complete system, including cables. If the audio output ground is connected to the earth ground pin, it is
earth grounded equipment.

FLOATED EQUIPMENT
Units with a 2-pin mains power cord have no means to connect the audio output ground to earth ground, so usually the
audio output ground is floated from earth ground. However, this does not insure that when installed in a system, the audio
output ground will remain floated from earth ground. The input cable to this equipment may already be connected to earth
ground earlier in the audio chain, and it will typically be carried straight through to the output. It is also possible that the
audio output ground connects to the earth ground through the chassis to an earth-grounded rack. The only way to know for
sure is to test the installed system. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity between the earth ground socket of the mains
power receptacle and the audio output ground. If the audio output ground is not connected to earth ground, it is floated
equipment.

LEVEL CONTROLS
The gain for each channel can be controlled individually using the front panel level control. The controls have 32 detented
positions that are calibrated in dB. The maximum gain position is marked as the "0 dB" position, and the lower gain posi-
tions indicate the amount of attenuation relative to the maximum gain position in dB. Minimum gain position is marked as
“Off” and represents over 100dB of attenuation relative to the maximum gain position.
The CH B level control is used for all Bridged Mono configurations, and 100V and 70V modes (Except for SR2800 Dual
70V mode).

BIAMP/STEREO SWITCH
Turn amplifier off before operating this switch. This switch is located on the rear panel and selects either:
Stereo mode- 2 input signals and 2 output signals.
Biamp mode- 1 input signal and 2 output signals.
Biamp mode is useful if a mono signal needs to be distributed to speakers of differing impedance or power level. The load
switch for each channel can be selected for the appropriate load, and the level controls can be adjusted individually for
each channel. See diagrams
The Stereo/Biamp switch is defeated whenever the front panel Stereo/Mono switch is in the Mono position. In this case, the
Stereo/mono switch overrides the Stereo/Biamp switch, and the amplifier operates in mono mode.
STEREO/MONO 70V 100V SWITCH
Turn amplifier off before operating this switch. This switch will override the Stereo/Biamp switch.
This Stereo/Mono 70V 100V switch is located on the front panel and selects either:
Stereo mode- 2 input signals and 2 output signals.
Mono, 70V, 100V mode- 1 input signal and 1 bridged output signal.
Mono mode uses the CH B input connector and level control only. The output load should be connected across the red ter-
minals of the output connectors. Set both load switches equal to 1/2 the load value. For example, after connecting a 4Ω
load across the red terminals, set both load switches to 2Ω. The rated power into the mono load will be double the rating
for a stereo load. See diagram
70V and 100V Mono mode also use the CH B input connector and level control only. The 70V or 100V speaker array load
should be connected across the red terminals of the output connectors. Set both load switches to the appropriate 70V or
100V value. The rated power into the mono load will be double the rating for a stereo load. See diagram
PROTECT
The red "Protect" LED on the front panel indicates that the NOMAD protection circuit has been activated, and is limiting
the output power of the amplifier. Typically this may only occur when a transient signal corresponds to a “dip” in the speak-
ers’ impedance curve, and will not cause significant clipping distortion. However, if the nominal speaker impedance is sig-
nificantly lower than the Load Switch setting, excessive clip distortion can result, accompanied by continuous or prolonged
illumination of the protect LED. In this situation the Load Switch should be changed to a lower value until the “protect”
events occur infrequently. See “Load Switch” paragraph.
LOAD SWITCH
The Load Switch-located on the front panel-allows the amplifier’s power supply to be matched to the speaker load for more
efficient, cooler running operation. The power output and thermal performance of the amplifier remains consistent with all
the possible combination of the loads listed. In Stereo or Biamp mode the Load switches can be configured independently,
and each channel will deliver the same consistent output power and thermal performance, regardless of how the other
channel is configured. Use the following guide when selecting the Load Switch setting:
Nominal Speaker Impedance
Load Switch Setting
5Ω-8Ω or higher
3Ω-5Ω
8Ω
4Ω
2Ω
2Ω-3Ω or lower
– 16 –

If the “Protect” LED is illuminated for prolonged periods during normal operation, select the next lower value Load Switch
setting. Continue until the “Protect” LED ceases to illuminate, or lights infrequently. This switch can be safely operated
while the amplifier is running. In 70V or 100V mode, the “Protect” LED indicates there are too many speakers loading the
array.
THERMAL
Indicates when the thermal protection has shut down the amplifier. After cooling sufficiently, the amplifier will automatical-
ly recover and continue operating.
CLIPPING
Lights up when the output or input signal reaches the maximum allowable voltage, and “clips” the output signal. To deter-
mine whether the signal is clipping at the input or the output of the amplifier, perform this test: Turn the level control all the
way “OFF.“ If the clipping continues then the signal is clipping at the amplifier input. Input clipping occurs at 3Vrms (sine),
and can be eliminated by attenuating the signal before it reaches the amplifier. Output clipping can be eliminated by turn-
ing down the amplifier level control. Since this circuit triggers off the internal error signal of the amplifier, it automatically
adjusts for any combination of speaker impedance or Load Switch setting.
SIGNAL
Monitors the amplifier output and indicates when a signal of at least 1 Vrms is present. A number of situations could exist
where the input cable is properly connected to the signal source, but the Signal LED does not illuminate, such as:
Level control is not high enough to amplify the output signal to 1 Vrms.
Source signal is off, or lower than normal.
Input cable is not connected to CH B while in Biamp, Mono, 70V or 100V mode.
Biamp or Mono switch is not selected when using a single input cable.
