INTRODUCTION

Congratulations

on

purchasing

ADCOM's

GCA“510

Controi

Amplifier.

We

designed

this

unique

product

for

both

simpie

operation

and

exceptionai

sound

quaiity.

We

don’t

anticipate

any

difficulty

in

setting

up

the

GCA-510,

but

ask

that

you

do

read

the

following

instructions

carefuiiy

before

you

begin

hooking

up

your

new

component.

CIRCUIT

DESIGN

CONSIDERATIONS

The

GCA-510

is

an

innovative

example

of

the

minimalist

school

of

circuit

design.

Aithough

it

offers

the

convenience

of

an

"integrated

amplifier,”

it

is

actually

a

very

high

gain

power

amplifier

preceded

by

a

passive

levei

controlier.

There

is

no

separate

preampiifier

stage

in

the

GCA-510

at

all.

The

circuit

topoiogy

includes

a

two

stage

discrete

front

end

with

doubly

regulated

and

temperature

compensated

active

constant

current

bias

sources.

This

gives

exceptionally

stable

performance

characteristics

from

DC

to

ultrasonic

frequencies.

The

output

stage

utilizes

a

unique

Bias-Emitter

Multiplier

to

amplify

a

transistor's

inherent

silicon

junction

voltage

to

create

a

temperature

compensated

constant

voltage

source.

The

complementary

output

stage

features

discrete

high

power

devices

operated

in

a

high-bias

Class

AB

Common

Collector

mode.

This

design

employs

no

current

limiting.

Consequently,

the

amplifier

is

completely

capable

of

driving

low

Impedance

loads

without

excessive

distortion.

The

amplifier

is

also

virtually

impervious

to

speaker/cable

reactance

and

will

drive

a

fully

phase

shifted

load

with

the

same

distortion

performance

exhibited

with

a

purely

resistive

load.

Precise

loudspeaker

control

is

further

assured

by

the

intentional

elimination

of

output

coils

to

provide

a

constant

high

damping

factor

over

the

entire

audio

range.

1

FRONT

and

REAR

PANELS

We

carefully

designed

the

GCA-510

with

your

enjoyment

in

mind.

Controls

are

at

a

minimum

and

we’ve

arranged

them

so

that

their

use

is

truly

intuitive.

The

rear

panel

benefits

from

the

same

design

goals.

Take

a

moment

to

familiarize

yourself

with

the

following

drawings,

You1l

find

references

to

the

circled

numbers

throughout

the

rest

of

this

manual.

HOOK

UP

AND

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1)

Unpack

the

GCA-510

carefully.

Put

the

foam

cocoon

and

other

packing

materials

back

in

the

carton

and

SAVE

IT.

As

part

of

ADCOM’s

quality

control

procedures,

your

GCA-510

was

carefully

inspected

for

physical

imperfections

and

electrical

performance

before

it

left

our

plant.

In

the

event

of

physical

damage,

notify

your

ACCOM

dealer

immediately

and

request

help

in

filing

a

written

damage

claim.

THE

RIGHT

TO

A

CLAIWl

AGAINST

A

COMMON

CARRIER

CAN

BE

FORFEITED

IF

THE

CARRIER

IS

NOT

NOTIFIED

PROMPTLY

IN

WRITING

AND

IF

THE

SHIPPING

CARTON

AND

PACKING

MATERIALS

ARE

NOT

AVAILABLE

FOR

INSPECTION.

SAVE

ALL

PACKING

MATERIALS

UNTIL

THE

CLAIM

HAS

BEEN

SETTLED.

The

foam

cocoon

and

carton

were

specifically

designed

to

protect

your

GCA-510.

Even

though

space

is

often

at

a

premium

in

today's

homes,

we

recommend

that

you

save

the

packing

materials

in

case

you

need

to

ship

the

unit

anywhere

in

the

future.

2

)

Select

a

stable,

vibration-free

location

for

the

GCA-510

as

close

as

possible

to

your

other

audio

components.

Make

sure

you

have

enough

air

space

for

proper

ventilation.

We

recommend

at

least

3"

of

free

air

space

above

the

GCA-510

and

an

inch

to

each

side

and

to

the

rear

of

the

unit.

The

QCA-510

is

heavier

than

you

might

expect

due

to

the

high

capacity

toroidal

transformer

and

large

heat

sink

assembly.

A

stable

supporting

surface

is

necessary.

We

won't

go

into

the

endless

and

mostly

unproved

theories

about

extraneous

vibrations

and

their

deleterious

effects

on

audio

components

except

to

say

that

the

more

massive

and

firmly

anchored

the

supporting

surface

is,

the

less

likely

you'll

be

to

experience

any

problems.

Proper

airflow

is

important.

Don't

block

the

ventilation

slots

on

the

bottom

plate

and

top

cover

of

the

unit.

The

feet

will

insure

enough

air

space

below

the

GCA-510

tor

adequate

circulation.

WE

RECOMMEND

THAT

YOU

DO

NOT

STACK

OTHER

UNITS

ON

TOP

OF

THE

GCA-510.

3)

Turn

off

all

the

other

components

in

your

system.

That

means

everything.

And

don't

plug

the

GCA-510

into

the

AC

outlet

yet.

Turning

off

system

components

before

initial

installatbn

and

connection

avoids

the

nasty

buzzes,

thumps,

and

other

sounds

of

electronic

distress

that

occasionally

accompanies

hooking

up

components.

4)

Connect

the

speakers

to

the

5-way

binding

posts

(speaker

outputs)

of

the

GCA-510©&

O

■

The

binding

posts

will

accept

a

variety

of

connectors

from

bare

wire

to

exotic

audbphile

“super

banana”

types.

Make

sure

to

obseive

proper

polarity:

Connect

the

GCA-510’s

“+"

(red)

terminal

for

the

left

speaker

to

the''+”

terminal

on

that

speaker.

Do

the

same

for

the

terminals.

Then

repeat

this

for

the

right

speaker.

Exercise

care

in

connecting

your

speakers.

Be

particularly

alert

that

individual

strands

of

speaker

wire

do

not

short

between

the

“+''

andterminals

at

either

the

amplifier

or

the

speaker

terminals,

A

note

on

speaker

cable:

We

recommend

the

use

of

at

least

16

gauge

(AWG)

two

conductor

“zip”

cord

for

all

speaker-

connections

under

25'

in

length.

For

longer

amplifier-to-speaker

runs,

we

suggest

14

gauge

“zip”

cord.

If

you

so

desire,

specialty

wire

specifically

designed

for

high

quality

amplifier-speaker

interface

may

be

considered.

Consult

your

ADCOM

dealer

for

recommendations.

5

)

Connect

the

outputs

of

up

to

five

(5)

line

level

sources

(CD

player,

tuner,

etc.)

to

the

appropriate

inputs

on

the

rear

panel

of

the

GCA-510

(O

through

O

)

■

All

Inputs

are

electrically

identical.

Remember

to

observe

proper

channel

continuity

—

left

channel

output

to

left

channel

input

and

right

to

right.

The

RCA-

type

input

jacks

on

ADCOM

products

adhere

to

the

color

convention

of

white

for

left

channel

and

red

for

right.

Most

dual

coaxial

interconnect

cables

(or

“patch

“

cords)

also

follow

this

color

coding

or

mark

the

cables

in

other

obvious

ways

to

make

channel

continuity

easy

to

establish,

A

note

on

interconnects:

We

strongly

recommend

cables

with

low

capacitance

ratings.

These

will

provide

minimum

interference

for

component-to-component

signal

transfer.

If

you

desire,

you

may

opt

for

specialty

interconnects

specifically

designed

for

low

loss

signal

transfer.

Consult

you

ADCOM

dealer

for

recommendations.

6)

The

“Tape

Out”

connections

0

should

be

connected

to

the

inputs

of

your

system's

tape

or

disc

recorder.

As

long

as

you

do

not

attempt

to

run

a

patch

cord

from

either

channel’s

‘Tape

Out”

to

a

digital

recorder’s

digital

input,

you

should

experience

no

problem.

If

you

do

attempt

this

feat,

you

will

not

be

punished.

Nothing

will

happen.

Absolutely

nothing.

Eventually,

you'll

realize

the

mistake

and

correct

it

by

connecting

the

GCA-510’s

“Tape

Out”

jacks

to

the

analog

inputs

of

the

digital

recording

device.

Then

you'll

be

able

to

record.

The

‘Tape

Out”

jacks

are

buffered

(or

isolated)

to

preserve

signal

integrity

under

unusual

load

conditions.

In

other

words,

the

GCA-510's

sound

quality

will

be

unaffected

by

any

conditbns

inadvertently

imposed

by

the

recording

device

(low

impedances,

electrical

(This

information

applies

only

to

certain

versions

of

the

GCA-510.

Consult

your

dealer

for

details.)

The

GCA-510

is

equipped

with

two

rear

panel

convenience

AC

outlets;

one

switched

0

and

one

unswitched

0,

Power

to

4

the

switched

outlet

is

controlled

by

the

front

panel

Power

switch

while

the

unswitched

outlet

carries

AC

current

whenever

the

GCA-510

is

plugged

into

a

live

AC

outlet.

The

power

ratings

for

fries©

outlets

are

as

follows:

500

VA

(equivalent

to

500

watts)

maximum

for

the

switched

outlet

and

800

VA

(or

watts)

maximum

for

the

unswitched

outlet.

The

switched

outlet

can

be

used

for

any

system

component

that

should

be

turned

on

or

off

when

the

GCA~510

is

powered.

Tuners

and

CD

players

are

the

most

likely

candidates.

The

unswitched

outlet

is

recommended

for

mechanical

devices

such

as

a

cassette

deck

where

premature

AC

power

interruptbn

can

result

in

damage

to

the

drive

assembly

or

for

other

source

components

where

a

constant

AC

source

is

required

to

maintain

internal

settings.

that

may

be

turned

off

inadvertently.

If
