Bellari PA253 Stereo Power Amplifier
INTRODUCTION
The PA253. At every design stage we focused on one thing, sound quality.The chassis is made in Salt Lake City, UT. The steel sheets are cut, bent, formed and finished all by US labor. After that process the steel is then powder coated to a high gloss red all done by US labor. We silk-screen the chassis and assemble the PCB’s at our Salt Lake City factory. We then flow solder the PCB’s, send them to post flow assembly where we add the fragile components soldering them in by hand. We test the PCB’s then send them to mechanical assembly were the PA253 is completed and tested again. The boxes that we use are made in a facility just a few miles from us. Even the out bound shipping boxes, biodegradable peanuts and printing materials are made in the US. Yes, some of the parts used like the power adapter, jacks, knob and IC’s are not made by us and come from countries other than the US. We pride ourselves on keeping as much as we can in the US including 100% of the product development and design. Even this manual was written in the US by us.
