1. Sensitivity

1. Sensitivity

1. Sensitivity
Input sensitivities refer to 50 W into 4 ohm, full gain and master settings,
neutral tone control settings, and 1 kHz sine-wave test signal.
2. Noise and dynamic range

2. Noise and dynamic range

2. Noise and dynamic range
Equivalent input noise voltages are typical values obtained by measuring
noise voltage at speaker output and dividing by the voltage gain of the
amplifier for white noise. Full gain and master settings, neutral tone
control settings, input shorted, measuring bandwidth 20 Hz – 20 kHz.
Dynamic range of power amplifier: Ratio of between output signal at
limiter threshold to A-weighted output noise with master
