Think these are Quad amps rebranded  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-25-2005 03:44 AM                        Yes - rebranded and with the controls removed There are holes behind the facia however you'd need to stick you own 10k pots in and butcher the front panel  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 11-25-2005 04:20 AM                     Yes logarithmic 10K potentiometers, or just conected to system and trim levels with potentiometer no you're processor output card if is use for cinema.  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-25-2005 07:26 AM                     Leave them as they are, the gain is adjusted on the processor output card. That is how Sound Associates arranged it on my Dolby CP55 unit. Contact Sound Associates: www.soundassociates.co.uk Or Future Projections: http://www.fproj.com/ Quad amplifiers are excellent. I had no problems with them all the time they were in service. Amanda, I have located my Westar projector series 2001 models -E –F –G –H manual, which I will upload to Film-Tech some time.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-25-2005 09:20 AM                     Hopefully it not this quad amplifier in disguise. Had one years ago.... not very good sounding compared to todays stuff imho. But doing the mod might help it out quite a bit.....

Hopefully they are an improvement on the model Mark mentioned. All I can say is that I had as good sound as the Odeon until they installed SRD. However the SA 520c is aged now, so it might be advisable to get them checked over and serviced by Quad. www.quad-hifi.co.uk/service.htm Quad - The closest approach...
