6 Specifications
The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads and an
input sensitivity of 26 dB gain unless otherwise specified.
Standard 1 kHz Power: refers to maximum average power in watts at
1 kHz with 0.1% THD.
Full Bandwidth Power: refers to maximum average power in watts
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with 0.1% THD.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units: refers to amplifiers with dedicated transform-
ers for 120 VAC, 60 Hz power mains.
International Units: refers to amplifiers with special multi-tap trans-
formers that are configurable for several AC mains voltages and line
frequencies (some are labeled 601, 1201 and 2401).
Performance
Frequency Response: ±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1
watt (see Figure 6.7).
Phase Response: ±10 degrees from 10 Hz to 20 kHz at 1
watt (see Figure 6.10).
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: A-weighted, better than 105 dB
below 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 increasing linearly
to 0.1% at 20 kHz.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD): (60 Hz, 7 kHz) Less
than 0.05% from 163 milliwatts to full bandwidth power.
Damping Factor: Greater than 1,000 from 10 Hz to 400
Hz (see Figure 6.8).
Crosstalk: See Figures 6.11, 6.12 and 6.13.
Slew Rate: Greater than 13 volts per microsecond.
Voltage Gain: 20:1 ±3% or 26 dB ±0.25 dB at the maxi-
mum level setting (also see Section 4.4).
Macro-Tech 600 : 54:1 ±12% or 35 dB ±0.5 dB at 0.775 volt
sensitivity; 30:1 ±12% or 30 dB ±0.5 dB at 1.4 volt sensitivity.
Macro-Tech 1200 : 64:1 ±12% or 36 dB ±0.5 dB at 0.775 volt
sensitivity; 36:1 ±12% or 31 dB ±0.5 dB at 1.4 volt sensitivity.
Macro-Tech 2400 : 83:1 ±12% or 38 dB ±0.5 dB at 0.775 volt
sensitivity; 46:1 ±12% or 33 dB ±0.5 dB at 1.4 volt sensitivity.

1035 watts into 16 ohms.
Parallel-Mono mode:
2080 watts into 1 ohm.
1605 watts into 2 ohms.
1035 watts into 4 ohms.
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads. Rated for 2
to 16 ohms in Stereo, 4 to 16 ohms in Bridge-Mono and 1
to 4 ohms in Parallel-Mono mode.
Required AC Mains: 50/60 Hz; 100, 120, 220, 230 and
240 VAC (±10%) units are available. All draw 100 watts or
less at idle. Current, voltage and frequency requirements
are provided on the unit’s back panel (also see Section 7).
Amplifiers don’t create energy. The AC mains voltage and
current must be sufficient to deliver the power you expect.
Controls
Enable: A front panel push button used to turn the ampli-
fier on and off.
Level: A front panel rotary control for each channel with 31
detents used to control the output level.
