A Word About "Weighted" Specifications - zapco C2K Owner's Manual

•
Stereo Separation:
The ability of an amplifier to maintain the separation between the right
and left channels is what allows an amp to reproduce an accurate sound
stage. Music is recorded with each instrument in its own location in the
sound stage. You should hear it the same way.
•
Results:
To assure that no ZAPCO product ever fails to meet our standards, we
must build them all to exceed these standards by comfortable margins.
Our superior design and construction give our amps advantages that go
beyond power output and show a sound quality difference you will hear the
moment you turn on your system.

A WORD ABOUT "WEIGHTED" SPECIFICATIONS

Most of the time, when you see specifications, they will be preceded
by the term "A" weighted. "A" weighting is a way of coloring numbers to
make specifications look better. You assume the factor you're measuring
is going to have a certain amount of bad stuff, so you pretend that much
isn't there and only measure the rest.
About the only place you can find specs that aren't "A" weighted is in
ZAPCO manuals and literature. We publish only "raw" specs at ZAPCO. If
we don't like the specifications of one of our products we'll make it better,
not try to make the numbers look better.
