Outlaw Audio used to put pictures of the guts of their components online for all to see. They have gotten away from doing that so I figured I would post some shots of the 7500 exposed. Enjoy!!

What's interesting is that the first pic you can see that the 2 far left outputs (Left/Surround Left) are connected by blue cable to 1 power unit, and the other 3 outputs (Right/Surround Right/Center) are connect to the 2nd power unit.
Doesn't that mean there would be more load on the right one?

Well, even number of transformers and odd number of channels means we're going to have to see an uneven split like that. One question that springs to mind is whether the two transformers are the same size, or whether the right one is larger to compensate for the extra load. Another question would be if the designers took into account the uneven load and designed the right transformer for the greater load and simply used the same transformer in the other slot.

In my haste to get the 7500 installed into my system I forgot to check the ratings of the trannies. It is quite obvious that the power supply on the right side is more substantial then that of the left. I have seen multichannel amps that implement transformers of the same size to handle two and three channels each. One would assume that those models are taxing the side with the 3 channels on said designs. The ATI/Outlaw seems to offer more iron for the extra channel.

gonk: I believe that if you look closely at the bottom picture that you will notice that the left transformer appears larger than the right. Look at the distance from that edge that runs across the top and the width of the "white stuff" on each transformer.

Sure looks like the inside of an ATI amp, doesn't it.

Svet: thanks for the pictures. They are GREAT!!

Well it looks like an ATI because it is one. The shipping label has ATI written on it from a mailing address.

Yup, it bears a striking similarity to an ATI 2005. 8-)

So if you like ATI amps and want to get an easy discount and still have fantastic customer service, Outlaw seems to be the answer...Now all we have to do is convince them to re-badge the ATI 3000 series too. 8-)

Nekkid pics of the ATI here:

http://www.wwsp.com/ati/atibrochure.htm

It looks like it's mostly the same. The individial mono cards seem to be a little different as the caps are on the input/output end w/ATI 3000 and near the front w/Outlaw 7500. The lower end ATI 1800 amps use the same orientation of the caps on their cards as Outlaw. There are no pics of the 2005 online that I could find.

Cheers,

svet: are you kidding me, an ATI shipping label??? LOL!!!!!

I didn't notice it this morning, but there appears to be a seperate transformer winding feeding each power module. If so, that's great.

Do you notice some sort of hiss when you turn yours off?

Hi RatPack, I have not noticed any hiss on powering down. Ill have to check it out later and Ill get back to you on that. As for the shipping label, well here is a pic of it.
