STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER
CONCERTO
Housed in the same size billet Aluminum chassis as the Cre-
scendo, the Concerto delivers 125W into 8 ohms and 225W
into 4 ohms. Like all Viola power ampliers the Concerto
uses a choke input power supply. This reduces peak charging
currents that are prevalent in capacitor input supplies. This
minimizes intermodulation distortion on the power supply
rails on ground returns.
Concerto Audio Design
The Concerto is a Class AB biased push-pull amplier design.
The Concerto incorporates Motorola ThermalTrak™ into the
bias network. This provides fast thermal feedback information
without the thermal lag of other bias topologies. A center chas-
sis Venturi style heat sink provides cooling for the amplier.
Connections to loudspeakers are provided by a pair of WBT
nextgen™ connectors per channel.
Network
The Concerto can be connected to the Crescendo preamplier
via the CAN (Controller Area Network) connector. When this
is done Concerto status information including temperature and
line voltage are transmitted to the Wi-Fi remote application.
This also provides synchronization of the color displays and
standby modes.
