Minimal Negative Feedback
All amplifiers require some form of negative feedback to minimize distortion and stabilize the
amplifier. Too much feedback, however, increases the Transient intermodulation Distortion (T.I.M.),
‘and reduces its musicality. JBL's Minimal Negative Feedback design provides just enough feedback
to stabilize the amplifer., remove DC offset, and offer excellent Total Harmonic Distortion (T.H.0.)
characteristics,
No Current Limiting
Current Limiting circuitries used in conventional power amplifiers may cause premature clipping and
inferior transient response under demanding conditions. The absence of current limiters in the audio
sections of JBL power amplifiers ensures low Transient Intermodulation Distortion, excellent transient
response, and superb sonic quality.
Quiet Start Circuitry
Special turn on and turn off circuitry have been implemented to prevent amplifier turn on and turn off
Pops.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-DC Switching Mode Power Supplies
Provides excellent power output throughout the audio bandwidth. Its’ soft clipping characteristics
ensure superb transient response and musicality.
Third Order (1848 per octave) Capacitive/inductive Power Supply Input and Output Filtering
For low radio frequency interference (RFI) and excellent immunity to system noises such as alternator
whine
Fully Complementary, Discrete Output Circuitry
The use of independent output transistors in the audio and power supply section provide excellent
reliability and high current capability for accurate transient response. A fully complementary audio
section offers superb sonic performance.
Full Protection Circuitry
All JBL amplifiers are protected against over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, input overload,
and DC offset. These special circuitries protect the amplifier from installation errors and unfriendly
environmental conditions. However, none of these protection systems is in the signal path, They
cannot interfere with the sonic performance of the amplifier.TS150 POWER AMPLIFIER SPECIFICATION:

Note: REFER TO EXPLODED VIEW FOR PARTS DESIGNATION.
1. Remove 6 screws (19) securing bottom plate (4),
2. Remove bottom plate to expose main P.C. board assembly.
3. To remove main P.C. board assembly from chassis/heat sink assembly:
a) Remove 1 phillips screw (18) from RCA input jack.
c) Remove 4 T-10 torx screws (17) from opposite end of chassis.
d) Remove 6 screws (16) that secure heat sink brackets (12, 13) to chassis.
e) Main P.C. board will now lift out of chassis. Care should be taken to protect leads of red
L.E.D. that extend beyond P.C. board. During reassembly, align the red L.E.D. to the correct
Position before securing panel.rev: €”
