Re: QSC Amps - Audiophile Quality??

207.168.191.2

A class AB amp has separate banks of transistors for the positive and negative voltage swings, and they are biased to have a nominal amount of overlap so that the transitions between positive and negative are smooth and not discontinuous. Thus, a class AB amp is essentially operating in class A when the output voltage is ± a few volts about the zero crossings, and it tapers to class B as the voltage goes beyond that. So your Belles is apparently class AB.

What's your methodology for evaluating an amp's accuracy?
