Amplifier Research 600S1G4A The Amplifier Research 600S1G4A is a portable, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, completely solid-state ampifier designed for applications that require instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity. The highly versatile 60S1G4A amplifier consists of two 350S1G4 sub-amplifiers housed in a single equipment rack with a controller. The 600S1G4A can function as one amplifier or be separated and operate as two separate 350S1G4A amplifiers which can be easily removed and used independently. Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 600S1G4A Amplifier include:
