1 . INTRODUCTION
Built-in Strong Power Supply
A stable power is supplied even at the instant change of signals through lowering
impedance achieved thoroughly by the adoption of PWM DC-DC converter support
ed by high performance and low loss power MOS-FET, a group of parts with large
capacities, low impedance capacitors and toroidal coils and by the further adoption
of thick foil substrate (*bus bar), etc. (*APA4400G)
Design emphasizing sound quality
Adopting a low-noise, high slew rate operational amplifier, power amplification ele¬
ment with good current linearity, and throug-relays that pass complicated signal
lines, this unit has been designed with much consideration of sound quality^
Diversified Functions
The preoutput terminal for external amplifier expansion, high-pass/low-pass filter
that varies the cut-off frequency from 50 Hz to 200 Hz, and etc., allows full-scale
system grade-up of a multi-amplifier, multi-speaker.
Power Guard Circuit
When the amp is in overdrive, this circuit detects any distorsion and automatically
holds down the input gain to prevent unpleasant clipping distortion. The power
guard circuit can be switched on/off with the selector switch.
High definition: power guard on
High current: power guard off
~2. DESCRIPTION
The Clarion ARA4400G/APA4200G car audio amplifier (shown in Figure 1) is a 4
channel amplifier that delivers 100 watt
x
4 or 50 watt
x
4 (RMS), respectively, into
a 4 ohm load. Depending on your application, one or more amplifiers is an excellent
choice for customizing your own car audio system.
All connections and controls are on end panels and are straightforward and easy to
understand.
We use gold-plated RCA and barrier connectors to ensure the best electrical con¬
nection for_your system. Included are external automotive-tvoe fuses that are easy
to replace.
* The power guard circuit is patented by the McIntosh Laboratories of the U.S.A.
Built-in Protection Circuit
This circuit protects against damage to the amplifier from overcurrent and overheat
caused by an excessive power voltage and short-circuit when overloading.
A channel mode selector switch provides the following high output (rated):

Protection Circuit
A protection circuit is used to constantly protect against damage to the amplifier
from loads, short-circuits, overcurrents, overheating, etc.
Low-heat Design
Reduced power supply circuit heat loss and a large fan (APA4400G) with a high
cooling efficiency structure reduce the heat generated during operation.
