What makes the AL-1200 stand out from other linear amplifiers? The answer is a super heavy duty power supply. The heart of the AL-1200 power supply is a highly efficient Peter Dahl tape wound hypersil transformer. Also high current, full height computer grade capacitors with screw-on terminals are used along with wire wound resistors. The diode rectifiers are rated at 200A, so an accidental short of the high voltage supply will not blow these diodes. The AL-1200XCE uses one 3CX1200A7 ceramic valve, which is Eimac’s toughest ceramic transmitting valve making this one of the toughest linears around.
