Multi-Channel Power Amplifier
Congratulations! As the owner of an Outlaw Audio Multi-Channel Power Ampli-
fier, you are in possession of a unique product. Designed and manufactured
in the United States, it has been carefully designed to deliver the best possible
sonic performance. This manual covers both the Model 7700 Seven-Channel
and Model 7500 Five-Channel Fully Balanced Power Amplifiers. We welcome
you as a member of our Outlaw band, and hope that your new amplifier brings
many years of enjoyable listening to your music or home theater system.

Features
Your new Outlaw Audio Fully-Balanced, Differential Multi-Channel Amplifier
is a state-of-the-art, high performance audio component. It is built utilizing
totally complementary circuitry from input to output. The high current power
supply is driven by a custom-designed, dual torrodial transformers with multiple
windings for each channel. Each output module has 12 discrete output devices,
30,000 uF total filter capacitance and employs an advanced Opto-coupled
protection circuit. Heat management is provided not by noisy fans, but by
custom-designed heatsinks for each channel.
The 7700/7500 differential design virtually eliminates cross talk, through a
technology known as “common mode rejection”. Compared to single-ended
designs, the 7700/7500 requires half the rail voltage for a given power allowing
for increased transient performance. In addition, with a slew rate nearly double
that of a comparable single-ended amp, the utmost control over transients is
maintained ensuring distortion free performance. The result: an amplifier
that remains unequivocally true to the source material.
Unpacking
The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new amplifier were
specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We
strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you
move, or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by
carefully opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Other
cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that
cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
Your new amplifier has been engineered using heavy duty materials for high
reliability and weighs a considerable amount (80 pounds for Model 7500;
93 pounds for Model 7700). This substantial weight requires that you pay
special attention to unpacking and installation of the unit. You may wish to
have someone help you remove the unit from its carton and place it in the
proper location.
