SPECIFICATIONS

Performance

Sensitivity (

for full rated power at 4 ohms)

: 

1.25 Vrms.

Frequency Response 

(at 1 watt, 22 Hz to 20 kHz): +0 dB, –1 dB. 

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

(20 Hz to 20 kHz, inputs terminated): 

A-weighted, below rated power: > 100 dB. 

No weighting, below rated power: > 95 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 

< 0.5%.

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD):

(60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated 

output to –40 dB: < 0.3%.

Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz:

>200.

Crosstalk 

(below rated power)

:

at 1 kHz:  –75 dB. 

at 20 kHz:  –59 dB. 

Input Impedance 

(nominal)

:

20 kilohms balanced, 10 kilohms unbalanced.

Load Impedance:

 2 to 8 ohms per channel in 

Stereo, 4 to 8 ohms in Bridge Mono.

AC Line Voltage and Frequency 

Configurations Available (±10%): 

120 VAC 

60 Hz, 100 VAC 50/60 Hz, 220 VAC 50 Hz, 

and 230-240 VAC. 

Controls

Level:

 Two front-panel rotary level controls, 

one for each channel. 

Power:

 Front-panel switch; on when in the 

IN position.

Circuit Breaker:

 Back-panel breaker provides 

overload protection.

Mode Switch:

 Back-panel switch selects Dual 

or Bridge-Mono mode.

Indicators

Signal Presence Indicators:

 Two green LEDs, 

one for each channel, illuminate when the 

channel’s input signal exceeds –40 dBu.

Clip Indicators:

 Two red LEDs, one for each 

channel, illuminate when the channel’s output 

is being overdriven.

Power Indicator:

 Blue LED indicates 

amplifier has been turned on and AC power 

is available.

Fault Indicator:

 Two red LEDs, one for each 

channel, illuminate when amplifier is in 

protect mode. Also illuminates briefly during 

normal power-up when amplifier is first 

switched on.

Input/Output

Input Connectors:

 One per channel; 

back-panel three-pin female XLR input 

connectors.

Output Connectors:

 Two 4-Pole Speakon

®

Output Connectors accept 2-pole or 4-pole 

Speakon

®

 connectors. The top Speakon 

connector is wired for both channels so it can 

be used for bridge-mono wiring or for stereo 

wiring of two speakers to a single Speakon 

connector.
One pair of back-panel binding posts per 

channel; accepts banana plugs or bare wire. 

(European models do not accept banana 

plugs.)
