6 Specifications

These specifications apply to 120 VAC units in stereo
mode with 8 ohm loads and an input sensitivity of 26 dB
unless otherwise specified.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units: These units are equipped with trans-
formers rated for 120 VAC, 60 Hz power.
International Units: These units are equipped with trans-
formers for either 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz, or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
power.
Performance

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 avail-
able. 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 cur-
rent; 230 VAC units can draw up to 15 amps. Refer to
the back panel for your unit's specifications. Refer to
Section 7 for more details.
It is extremely important to provide sufficient AC power
to the amplifier. Power amplifiers cannot create en-
ergy—they must have the proper voltage and current to
deliver the clean rated power you expect.
