VA-8600 Specification
VA-8600/8600c 115 VAC Current Draw and Heat Output
To determine the AC line current draw and heat output for the configuration, start by finding the total
power for the configured Vocia chassis. Then refer to the column that describes the type of audio levels
the amplifier will be producing. If your configuration uses more amplifier modules than the number shown,
add 0.3 amps and 112 BTU/hr for each additional module in the chassis.

Notes:
For 230 VAC, multiply the current by 0.5.
For each additional module above 4, add 0.3 A to the current draw and 112 BTU/hr to the heat output.
* Burst mode only. Protective thermal limiting will reduce long-term AC current and continuous power
output.
