POWER:
All values are in WATTS. Measurements were made at the 0.1% distortion point. Some CONTINUOUS
AVERAGE POWER measurements required line currents greater than 15 Amps. The amplifier under test
was plugged into an IDEAL POWER LINE consisting of a REGULATED 120 VAC RMS 60 Hz pure sine
wave. Ordinary AC "wall outlet" lines will always exhibit varying and unpredictable amounts of sag. To
produce objectively verifiable and accurate specifications these unknown factors must be eliminated by
using an ideal AC line. When using an ordinary electrical outlet, it will usually be possible to get 1200 Watts
when the AP1200 is bridged into 4 ohms. The BURST measurements use two sine wave cycles at 100Hz
and at 1KHz with a 1/8 second pause between bursts. The 100Hz burst power is a good indication of what
the AP1200 will deliver to a typical sub-woofer. The 1KHz burst represents the maximum possible sine
wave output power. The AP1200 comes from the factory in its STANDARD CONFIGURATION. However,
it may be modified at your dealer’s service center for the non-standard 4 OHM CONFIGURATION. See
“POWER CONFIGURATION” on page 5 of this manual for more details.
