7075 Internal Pics Please

Does anyone have a pic of the 7075 with the cover off? I would like to see the inside "guts" of the amp before I make a purchase decision. Thanks!

The Outlaws have an interior pic of the 7900 here:

While it won't be identical, it should give you an idea of how the Outlaws build their products.

I don't have any pics of my 7075 but I can tell you it is very similar to the 7900 pics Owl pointed to. Seven modular amps in back. Only one torroidal transformer in the front though.

I found a pic of the inside of a 7100. Is it basically the same? 7 individual boards w/heatsinks and P/S caps and one torroidal xfrmr in front? How the heck does the little 7075 weigh so much in that small a package?

Yes it is basically the same layout inside all of the Outlaw amps except the monoblocks. The weight is from the transformer.

Closest I have come is:

Looks like 7 boards with large heatsinks, a power lead from the single xformer for each, and a P/S section on each board at the back.

C'mon ... someone pop their 7075 lid off and snap a pic. Outlaw Audio, how about you? More people may be interested to see it as well.

And bing, there it is ;-)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a confirmed sighting...

Wow thanks! That looks awesome.

It also came from one of my favorite manufacturers - Klipsch. Don't hate me for that. I happen to like horn-loaded speakers on tube amps. I had a pair of Heresy speakers from Klipsch for years. I want a pair of LaScalas to drive with my tube amp and preamp. $7,000 per pair new and 175 pounds each. Sigh. Time, money, and space. Sigh. Have none of the above right now. Sigh again.

For now, what I need is a small but rock-solid amp for a small (read: cramped) home theater. Just got burned by a very high end A/V reciever from a "major brand" with a bad video board in it. Never again.

Look at those massive heatsinks. Should I be prepared to place a pair of fans on top? Depending on the amp bias, it could run warm, and heat is the enemy. I had a solid state pure class-A, two-channel amp once and you could fry an egg on it with only 50 watts x 2 channels.

Thanks again for the awesome pic!

My 7075 has been running without fans since I bought it in 2009. It never gets too warm. But it also has a lot of free air around it. The heat sinks are sized so as to NOT require fans. Smaller heat sinks would be a bigger concern because they wouldn't transfer as much heat to the surrounding air.

That being said, if your amp is in a tight/enclosed space you might think about adding fans to move some air around.

Same with my 7125, I keep plenty of free air around it. It warms up but doesn't get hot. When I first installed it the cat decided this nice warm spot was the perfect nap location. I bought a rectangle shaped wire holder (similar to this but rectangular instead of circular) from the dollar store and cut it up in to four pieces. The idea was to have big chunks with pointy bits sticking up so that they discouraged kitty from napping there. It works really well and since my amp doesn't vibrate, they don't move.

No! Bad kitty! Shoo! LMAO.

Thanks to the amp's low profile, it will free up enough room for me to re-configure my setup to allow for more airspace than I have now. My dysfunctional A/V receiver (never again) takes up more space than these separates will, and separates also give me more freedom to position them optimally. Those heat sinks are monsters by the way. Thanks for the info folks!

I use a small AV fan which is USB powered by my Directv box to move air through my cabinet. It works well and is very quiet even with the door open I can't hear it. All my stuff is behind a glass door which is closed. I cut holes in the cabinet to allow air to move from the bottom to the top where the fan is.

Heat kills amplifiers!
