We should have it in a week or so to test ourselves; factory testing has went very well and it is meeting all of our design goals.

Length without feet = 18.89"

With the feet total length is roughly on par with the original version (20.15") -- then the case is of course narrower. So overall foot-print is down.

Will get some side to side pics when the prototype gets here.

beautiful production

We are curious to see the 3500d

very good!!!

great!!!

wow! love it! could you get a comparison picture of it vs an older 2500, just for a size reference! love the fan! I am a fan of the fans! lol!

Damn can't wait to see the size difference

The amp is here at the shop :

* The main capacitor bank now contains 160v units for maximum reliability at 19v operation.

* As with the other new 2012 amps we have a fan

* 16x IRF064N power supply MOSFETs (BEEF)

12v clamp testing :

2420 @ 1.86 ohms

67.1v

36.06a

2490 @ 1.57 ohms

66.2v

42.1a

2750 @ 1.40 ohms

62.1v

44.3a

2950 @ 0.94 ohms

52.4v

56.3a

Very pleased with that. It is right on par with the v.1 model -- we will do typical minor tweaks on production and maybe squeeze a few % more out of it.

As usual this was done on my Extech power clamp; it reads power out directly very accurately. I use measured voltage to calculate amperage and then actual impedance.

Once I get a handful of free time I will do a 16v round-up with all of the new prototypes.

Oh I forgot to put supply voltage in... woops.

On the lower power figures we had around 13-13.3v and at higher power 12.5v at the time of measurement (my meter reads about 3-5 seconds in to the tone)
