2 Specifi cations
These specifi cations apply to 120 VAC units in stereo mode with 8 ohm loads and an input
sensitivity of 26 dB unless otherwise specifi ed.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units: These units are equipped with transformers rated for 120 VAC,
60 Hz power.
International Units: These units are equipped with transformers for either 100 VAC, 50/60
Hz, or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz power.

2.1 Performance

Frequency Response: ±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1
watt.
Phase Response: ±10° from 10 Hz to 20 kHz at 1 watt.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Greater than 105 dB below rated
output (20 Hz to 20 kHz, A-weighted); 100 dB below rated
output (20 Hz to 20 kHz, no weighting).
Harmonic Distortion (THD): At rated output, less than 0.05%
from 20 Hz to 1 kHz increasing linearly to less than 0.1% at
20 kHz.
IM Distortion (IMD): Less than 0.05% from 368 milliwatts to
full rated output.
Damping Factor: Greater than 1,000 from 10 Hz to 400 Hz.
Crosstalk: See Figure 2.1.
Slew Rate: Greater than 30 volts per microsecond.
Voltage Gain: (At maximum output) 20:1 ±3% or 26 dB ±0.25
dB at +26 dB sensitivity, and 124.6:1 ±12% or 41.9 dB ±1.0
dB at 0.775 volt sensitivity.

Load Impedance: Rated for 16, 8, 4, and 2 ohm use only.
Safe with all types of loads, even reactive ones.
AC Power Requirements: 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 120 VAC,
50/60 Hz; and 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz units are available. 230
VAC, 50/60 Hz units can be used with 220 and 240 VAC.
All versions draw 90 watts or less at idle. 100 and 120 VAC
units can draw up to 30 amps of current; 230 VAC units can
draw up to 15 amps. Refer to the back panel for your unit's
specifi cations.

2.3 Controls

Enable: A front panel push button used to turn the amplifi er
on and off.
Level: A 31-position detented rotary attenuator for each
channel located on the front panel used to control the output
level.
Stereo/Mono: A three-position back panel switch used to
select Stereo, Bridge-Mono or Parallel-Mono operation.
Sensitivity: A three-position switch located inside the PIP
compartment used to select one of three input sensitivities
for both channels: 0.775 volts or 1.4 volts for standard 1 kHz
power or a voltage gain of 26 dB.
Input Ground Lift: A two position back panel switch used to
isolate the phone jack signal grounds from the chassis (AC)
ground.
Reset: A back panel button for each channel used to reset
the corresponding power supply. 100 and 120 VAC units
have 15 amp circuit breakers. 230 VAC units have 7.5 amp
circuit breakers.

2.4 Indicators

Enable: This amber indicator is on when the amplifi er is
switched on to show that the low voltage power supply is
operating.
Signal / IOC: Two green indicators fl ash with medium inten-
sity in sync with the amplifi er's outputs to show signal pres-
