INTRODUCTION The Hafler 9303 and 9505 are two channel professional power amplifiers. Passive cooling with large heatsinks is used for low mechanical noise. Our patented trans•nova circuit topology and MOSFET output stage ensures trouble free, long term operation and is backed by our seven year warranty. This manual contains information on using the 9303 and 9505 amplifiers. It is organized into three main sections. “Installation” covers the location and connection of the amplifier in the system.

INPUT The 9303 and 9505 have input jacks for both balanced and unbalanced input signals. The unbalanced inputs use conventional RCA phono jacks. When using the RCA inputs, the rear panel BALANCED/UNBALANCED switch must be set to the UNBALANCED position. The balanced input jacks are dual function connectors which accept 1/4" TRS (Rip Ring Sleeve) phone or XLR plugs. Set the BALANCED/UNBALANCED switch to the BALANCED Position to use these jacks. The connector pin-out is printed on the rear panel o

OPERATION POWER SWITCH The POWER switch is located on the front panel of the amplifier. An internal lamp indicates when it is turned on. Standard practice is to turn the amplifier on last and off first when switching components individually to prevent sending damaging transients, generated in the source components, to the speakers. It is possible to leave the power switch in the on position and switch the amplifier remotely through a power distribution block or preamp switched outlet. When doing

TECHNICAL REFERENCE THEORY AND OPERATION OF trans•nova The (TRANSconductance NOdal Voltage Amplifier) principle is based on our 1984 U.S. Patent 4,467,288. This patent describes the advantages of audio power amplifiers in which a MOSFET output stage is connected in a grounded source configuration. In this connection the output stage has its full voltage gain of typically 20dB (ten times), instead of the usual 1dB loss of voltage follower designs. It is an inevitable result of electrical physics

The final output stage utilizes lateral MOSFETs; four pairs are used for each channel in the 9505 and three pairs in the 9303. These devices, unlike conventional bipolar transistors do not exhibit “thermal runaway.” Thermal runaway is a phenomenon whereby a transistor heats up as it draws more current, which causes it to get hotter, and conduct more current, and so on until the device self destructs. Since the MOSFETs are inherently self protecting, no sonically degrading, complex circuitry is r
