Specifi cations

The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads 
and rated input sensitivity unless otherwise specifi ed.

Performance

Sensitivity

 (volts RMS) for full rated power at 

4 ohms: 1.025.

Frequency Response 

(at 1 watt) 20 Hz to 20 

kHz: ±0.75 dB. 

Phase Response 

(degrees at 1 watt) 

at 10 Hz:

  –10.

at 20 kHz:

 +19.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio 

(20 Hz to 20 kHz)

A-weighted, below rated power:

 > 100 dB.

No weighting, below rated power:

 > 97 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 

at full band-

width power, from 20 Hz to 1 kHz: < 0.15%.

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD):

 (60 Hz and 

7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated output to –40 dB: 
< 0.3%.

Controls

Level:

 Two front-panel rotary level controls, 

one for each channel. Blanking plugs cover 
the level controls to prevent tampering.

Power:

 Front-panel switch; on when in the UP 

position.

Filter Switches:

 One per channel; three-posi-

tion back-panel switches set the internal high-
pass fi lter frequency. Frequency setting is 30 
Hz when switch is in left position; 15 Hz when 
switch is centered; and bypassed when switch is 
in right position.

Limiter Switch:

 Back-panel switch offers loud-

speaker protection against moderate amplifi er 
clip when set to the “IN” position.

Fuse:

 Provides overload protection.

Indicators

Clip:

 Two front-panel red LEDs, one for each 

channel, illuminate when the channel’s output 
signal is being overdriven.

Power:

 Green front-panel LED indicates 

amplifi er has been turned on and AC power 
is available.

Fault:

 Yellow front-panel LED illuminates when 

amplifi er is in protect mode. Also illuminates 
briefl y during normal power-up when amplifi er 
is fi rst switched on.

cate clip for each channel, power and fault 
conditions.

•     Three-Year,  No-Fault,  Fully-Transferable 

Warranty completely protects your invest-
ment and guarantees its specifi cations.
