Reference Manual
4 Specifications
The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads and an
input sensitivity of 26 dB unless otherwise specified.
Standard 1 kHz Power:
refers to maximum average power in watts at
1 kHz with 0.1% THD.
Full Bandwidth Power:
refers to maximum average power in watts
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with 0.1% THD.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units:
refers to amplifiers with dedicated transformers
for 120 VAC, 60 Hz power mains.
International Units:
refers to amplifiers with special multi-tap
transformers that make them configurable for several AC mains
voltages and line frequencies.
