Reactor
The Reactor is Phoenix Gold's first ZX series special edition amplifier. It consists of a
ZX500 and a ZX450 in a special chassis. The brushed sheet metal chassis is finished in
a special clear powder coating. Production is limited to 500 units with each amp's serial
number stamped into the top of the chassis. The retail price was $2500.
Functionally the two amps are completely stock with no signal connections between the
two amplifiers.

The specs are:
Output Power per Channel @ 1% THD (all channels driven)*
ZX500
Into 4 ohms @ 12.0 VDC 75 watts x 2
Into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 200 watts x 2
Into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 300 watts x 2
Into 1 ohm @ 14.4 VDC (current limited) 300 watts x 2*
Bridged into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 600 watts x 1
Bridged into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC (current limited) 600 watts x 1*
Frequency Response ± 1dB from 20Hz to 20kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio >100dB
Crossover Freq. Range & Slope 30 - 600 Hz @ 24 dB per octave
Bass Boost +18 dB @ 45 Hz
Lowest THD 0.02%
Damping Factor 500 to 1
Input Sensitivity 200 millivolts to 6 volts
Input Impedance >30k ohms
Input Voltage Range 10.5 volts to 15.0 volts
Continuous current draw @ full power** 50 amps
Peak current draw @ full power*** 80 amps
Recommended Fuse Size 50 amps

ZX450
Into 4 ohms @ 12.0 VDC 18 watts x 4
Into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 75 watts x 4
Into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 150 watts x 4
Into 1 ohm @ 14.4 VDC (current limited) 150 watts x 4*
Bridged into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC 250 watts x 2
Bridged into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC (current limited) 250 watts x 2*
Frequency Response ± 1dB from 20Hz to 20kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio >100dB
Crossover Freq. Range & Slope, Front 30 - 6000 Hz @ 24 dB per octave
Crossover Freq. Range & Slope, Rear 30 - 60 Hz @ 24 dB per octave
Lowest THD 0.02%
Bass Boost +18 dB @ 45 Hz
Damping Factor 500 to 1
Input Sensitivity 200 millivolts to 6 volts
Input Impedance >30k ohms
Input Voltage Range 10.5 volts to 15.0 volts
Continuous current draw @ full power** 55 amps
Peak current draw @ full power*** 80 amps
Recommended Fuse Size (internal) 50 amps
Dimensions 25.0"L x 14.0"W x 2.5"H

* Special circuitry limits output power at low impedances. Low impedance operation
requires large gauge power cable and at least 1.2 farads of capacitance. MINIMUM
SPEAKER LOAD IS 2 OHMS BRIDGED OR 1 OHM STEREO.
** Average continuous current draw when playing typical music material
*** Average peak current needed for musical peaks (<20 ms) when playing typical music
material.

At the top of this forum is a link to the downloads section.

For example, you can find the reactor manual here:

Also have some interesting literature here:

Thanks
to Oldschoolfool for the specs of the reactor, but I meant the little book that PG has given to each amp. Perhaps it is available to download anywhere.

Thanks
to stipud for the links, but I didn´t found any information in the limited edition amps area for the reactor.

Hey you're right...

Well, for now you can just use the ZX450 and ZX500 manuals, since those are the two amps that are part of the Reactor.
