    In this chapter, the terms “fixed characteristics” and “adjusted characteristics” have the following meanings. Fixed characteristics These characteristics are fixed when the BP4610 is shipped and cannot be changed by the user. They are set with the aim to achieve both wide frequency band characteristics and load stability.
