*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.
