1) Measured with pink noise @ 4 x 375 W / 2,7 Ω load (with crest factor of 12 dB to represent typical music signal).

2) Measured with 1 kHz continuous sine-wave @ 4 x 750 W / 2,7 Ω load. Duration limited by FuseProtect™ / MCB limiter and amplifier heating (thermal limiter).

3) Measured with 1 kHz sine-wave burst signal, @ 4 x 2,7 Ω load, THD <= 1%, min. 500 ms burst duration.

4) The overall efficiency is the ratio of the delivered output power to the mains power consumption. It indicates how much of the consumed mains input power is effectively delivered to the 

loudspeakers.

l

 NOTE on mains current

The values given here are typical values only, measured on a standard outlet. 
The actual instantaneous mains current draw can vary depending on the 
music signal and the mains characteristics (especially the mains imped-
ance) of any specific installation. But it will never be larger than the maxi-
mum values at full output power indicated in the table.
