Music is a “Dynamic and Transient” condi-
tion and the power requirements fluctuate
up and down over time with the audio sig-
nal. Therefore, under most listening condi-
tions the 15Amp/120 Volt version will be all
that is required for the majority of domes-
tic audio/video systems.
If more power is required, then a 14B - 20
Amp version is also available. You must
have a minimum of 12 Gauge household
electrical wire and a dedicated 20 Amp
wall plug in order to utilize this feature.
The other option available is to wire for a
240 Volt 10 Amp service and use the 230
Volt 10 Amp European model.
Maximum continuous output power with both channels driven can only be realized
on a 120 Volt 20 Amp or 230 Volt 10 Amp version of the 14B ST
Note: Continuous 2 channel power is limited by specific circuit breaker limitations.
