*1) The amplifier section’s PSU operates as a non-resistive load, so the calculation “Volts x Amps = Watts” would not be correct. Instead, measured and
specified here is what is known as the “Active Power” of the amplifier section providing useful, real-world values of power consumption and heat dissipation.
*2) Current draw figures measured at 230 V. 115 V figures are converted from 230 V figures.
*3) Figures measured at maximum sustainable power without tripping the mains fuse. Listed separately for 30 A/115 V and 16 A/230 V operation. Note that
the max. power condition is very extreme and will not occur during normal operation. Also note that the mains breaker will not be tripped even if operation is
momentarily in excess of max. ratings.
*4) Regarding n.r. (not recommended) notes: The amplifier will be fully operational in bridge-mode into 2 or 4 ohms, but due to physical constraints in the
construction, the max. output power will not be significanty higher than running individual channels and therefore this mode of operation is not recommended.
