Both our integrated amplifiers, the M14 and Jarrah have their boards tested in the chassis, while the other products, mostly due to complexity, have their boards tested in specially made 'jigs' before fitting to the chassis. And this is an M14 being pre-soak tested by Scott. After this test all amplifiers get 3 days of continuous operation to ensure they are run in. Aaron and Hayden are working on a couple of SA-100s. Scott is final listen testing a run of 8200s prior to being cleaned and packed for shipping to customers.
Every product is final tested for quality of sound reproduction and also finish before shipping.
These are the 8200s Scott has just finished testing. They are now designated a 'home' and documentation is prepared for them. In the background is the other soak bench, with power amplifiers on it at varying stages of completion. And this is an SA-250 ready to ship. Because the SA-250 is so heavy, it gets a wooden crate to ensure it isn't damaged while being delivered.
