Notes:
1. Input sensitivities refer to 100 watts into 8 ohms at full gain and 

volume settings, neutral tone control settings and 1 kHz sine-wave 

test signal.
2. Output levels refer to 50 mV / 1 kHz input at channel one, unless 

stated otherwise. 
3. Equivalent input noise voltage obtained by measuring noise 

voltage at the speaker and dividing by the effective voltage gain of 

the amplifier for the respective input. Full gain and volume settings, 

neutral tone control settings, input shorted, frequency range 

20 Hz – 20 kHz.
Specifications and appearance subject to change without notice.
