Description: Solid state, class-A monoblock power amplifier. Inputs: 1 single-ended (RCA), 1 balanced (XLR). Outputs: 1 single-ended (RCA), 1 balanced (XLR) pass-through loop for multi-amping; 2 pairs five-way binding posts. Power output: 100W into 8 ohms (20dBW), 200W into 4 ohms (20dBW). Class-A output power: 100W into 8 ohms (Normal bias). Frequency response: 20Hz–20kHz, +0/–0.25dB; 2Hz–120kHz, +0/–2dB. Slew rate: >130V/µs. Voltage gain: 29dB or 23dB, switchable. Input impedance: 50k ohms (unbalanced), 100k ohms (balanced). Input sensitivity (for 100W into 8 ohms): 2V (1V per leg) balanced, 1V unbalanced. THD: 0.15% at full power, 0.02% at typical listening levels. IM distortion: 0.03%. TIM: unmeasurable. Signal/noise ratio, A-weighted: >120dB (low bias), >118dB (high bias). Signal/noise, unweighted: >110dB (low bias), >109dB (high bias). DC trigger requirements: +9VDC to +12VDC, 5mA. Power requirements: 1w, standby; 160W (low bias), 230W (high bias), idle; 280W maximum.
