Product specs

Output Power	The following are guaranteed minimums for standard 1-kHz power from 120 VAC, 60 Hz North American units. Maximum average watts per channel (unless in Mono mode) at 1 kHz with 0.1% or less THD.
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.
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.
Slew Rate	Greater than 30 volts per microsecond.
Voltage Gain	(At maximum output) 20:1 6% or 26 dB 0.25 dB at +26 dB gain setting, and 124.6:1 6% or 41.9 dB 1.0 dB at 0.775 volt sensitivity.
Enable	This amber indicator is on when the amplifier is switched on to show that the low voltage power supply is operating.
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.
Signal / IOC	Two green indicators flash with medium intensity in sync with the amplifiers outputs to show signal presence. In the unlikely event the output waveform differs from that of the input by 0.05% or more, they flash brightly to indicate distortion. As sensitive distortion indicators they provide proof of performance. Note: It is normal for the Channel 2 IOC indicator to remain on in Parallel-Mono mode.
ODEP	Each channel has a multifunction LED (light emitting diode) indicator that shows the channels energy reserve status. Normally, the LEDs are brightly lit to show that reserve energy is available. In the rare event that a channel has little reserve, its indicator dims in proportion to ODEP limiting. An ODEP indicator may also turn off under other, more unusual circumstances.
Input Connector	Balanced -inch phone jacks on chassis and internal PIP connector. (Balanced 3-pin XLR connectors are provided on the P.I.P.-FX which is a standard feature.)
Input Impedance	Nominally 20 k ohms, balanced. Nominally 10 K ohms, unbalanced.
Input Sensitivity	Switchable between 0.775 V (unbalanced) for rated output or a fixed voltage gain of 26 dB.
Output Connector	Color-coded dual binding posts (banana jacks).
Output Impedance	Less than 10 milliohms in series with less than 2 microhenries
DC Output Offset	(Shorted input) 10 millivolts.
Stereo	Unbalanced, two-channel.
Bridge-Mono	Balanced, single-channel. Channel 1 controls are active; Channel 2 controls are inactive and not removed from operation.
Parallel-Mono	Unbalanced, single-channel. Channel 1 controls are active; Channel 2 controls are inactive but not removed from operation.
Cooling	Forced-air with custom heat diffusers and patented circuitry to promote uniform dissipation.
Dimensions	19" (48.3 cm) standard rack mount (EIA Std. RS-310-B), 3.5" (8.9 cm) height, 16" (40.6 cm) depth behind mounting surface and 2.5" (6.4 cm) in front of mounting surface.
Weight	Center of gravity is 6" (15.2 cm) behind the front mounting surface.
