Threshold 400A power amplifier

This listing is for a Threshold 400A power amplifier in overall good condition, a few scuffs on the edges and rack handles (pictured). A 1978 model by the serial number. It came to us with a bad channel, we replaced 4 output transistors to make it work correctly again. It has been here waiting for the customer to pick it up for over 2 years now and has been released to sell, he will not be picking it up. It was not completely rebuilt, just made to work again. It has not been in use for a long time until now.

We guarantee it to work correctly upon arrival and for 30 days from ship date.

Threshold 400A

A two Channel audio power amplifier employing patented dynamic bias circuits that maintain the amplifier in Class A operation to beyond 500 watt transient output levels per channel.

Rated Power:
100 watts per channel, both channels driven into 8 ohms, 20 Hz through 20 kHz at 120 volt line source.

Harmonic and Inter-modulation Distortion:
No greater than 1 percent total harmonic or intermodulation distortion at rated power, decreasing monotonically with lower power. Distortion virtually unmeasurable at small signal levels. Harmonic distortion components are dominated by 2nd and 3rd harmonics. Intermodulation sidebands are primarily 1st and 2nd order. Distortion components of higher orders are negligible below 40 kHz.

Transient Intermodulation Distortion:
Transient intermodulation distortion sidebands are at least -75dB below a 10 watt output signal consisting of a 1.5 kHz sine wave linearly mixed with a -20 dB 80 kHz sine wave, the sidebands are symmetric about the central frequency decreasing to approximately -90 dB by the seventh order.

Rise Time:
Leading and trailing edge 1 microsecond.

Slew Capabilities:
Maximum voltage slewing rate each channel 50 volts per microsecond. Maximum current slewing rate each channel 25 amps per microsecond.

Loop Propagation Time:
Propagation delay appearing at the bases of the input differential transistors 20 microseconds.

Current Output Capability:
Maximum instantaneous output current capability 20 amps per channel. Maximum continuous output current capability 5 amps per channel.

Voltage Output Capability:
Maximum voltage swing -+ 50 volts per channel.

Frequency Bandwidth:
+0,-3 dB 1 Hz through 250 kHz at small signal levels. -+0 dB 20 Hz through 20 kHz at 200 watts per channel.

Input Impedance:
75 kohms

Damping Factor:
Constant 100 from dc through 20 kHz measured at output terminals

Hum and Noise:
.5 millivolts at the outputs.

Displays:
Individual peak vs average output level readings for each channel.

produced and built from 1977 to 1981.
