Power Rating

The difference between the raw power module of
RH450 with no APM and and APM active: 60V vs.
46V or 450W vs. 236W.The difference is sound is
drastically different as the ‘No APM’ setting is prone
to hard clip, while the APM active sound will
guarantee no hardclipping due to its ‘tube’ nature,
while pushing out the higher long term energy
density.
Power ratings on TC amps
Based on our findings in both APM, power design
and the response of the human ear, the power
rating of the TC amps become somewhat different
than that of traditional designs.
There are numerous ways of expressing exactly
how an amp performs based on frequency content,
time, input signal, output impedance etc etc.
We have chosen to label our amps based on the
power section inside each amp model as well as
mentioned the maximum peak (maximum
instantaneous peak power) achieved at minimum
load of the respective amp models.
However, in order to avoid any misunderstandings, here are the background facts of amps’
performance under various setup conditions:
