The AL-1500XCE linear amplifier delivers 1500W CW output with only 65W drive. The AL-1500 also features time delay starting to protect the 3CX1500/8877 valve and its components and over-current protection to remove the drive if mistuned. A commercial grade blower provides quiet operation at full rated airflow to maximise valve life.
