4 Specifications
All specifications apply to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads
and an input sensitivity of 26 dB unless otherwise specified.
Standard 1 kHz Power: refers to maximum average power in
watts at 1 kHz with 0.1% THD + noise.
Full Bandwidth Power: refers to maximum average power in
watts from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with 0.1% THD + noise.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units: refers to amplifiers with dedicated trans-
formers for 120 VAC, 60 Hz power mains.
Performance
Frequency Response: ±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
at 1 watt.
Phase Response: ±10 degrees from 10 Hz to 20 kHz
at 1 watt.
Signal-to-Noise: A-weighted, better than 105 dB be-
low full bandwidth power. Better than 100 dB below full
bandwidth power from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Less than 0.05%
at full bandwidth power from 20 Hz to 1 kHz increas-
ing linearly to 0.1% at 20 kHz.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD): (60 Hz and 7 kHz
4:1) Less than 0.05% from less than 158 milliwatts to full
bandwidth power.
Damping Factor: Greater than 1,000 from 10 Hz to 400 Hz.
Crosstalk
Power Base-1: Greater than 75 dB below full band-
width power from 50 Hz to 2 kHz, rising linearly to
greater than 60 dB at 20 kHz.
Power Base-2 : Greater than 90 dB below full band-
width power from 50 Hz to 2 kHz, rising linearly to
greater than 66 dB at 20 kHz.

width power from 50 Hz to 4 kHz, rising linearly to
greater than 70 dB at 20 kHz.

below rated full bandwidth power from 20 Hz to 1 kHz
falling linearly to better than 50 dB at 20 kHz.

mum level setting (Input Sensitivity switch set to its 26
dB position).

volt sensitivity; 35:1 ±12% or 31.0 dB ±1 dB at 1.4 volt
sensitivity.
Power Base-3: 83:1 ±12% or 38.4 dB ±1 dB at 0.775
volt sensitivity; 46:1 ±12% or 33.3 dB ±1 dB at 1.4 volt
sensitivity.
