Technical Specifications

• Sensitivity (volts RMS) for full rated power at 4 ohms: 1.4V Frequency Response (at 1 watt): 22 Hz to 22 kHz: 1 dB.
• Phase Response (degrees at 1 watt, 20 Hz to 20 kHz): +5, 18
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: A-weighted, below rated power: > 102 dB. 22Hz to 22kHz, below rated power:> 97 dB.
• Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at full bandwidth power, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz: 0.5%.
• Intermodulation Distortion (IMD): (60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated output to 40 dB: < 1%.
• Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz: > 200.

Controls

• Level: Two or four front-panel, gray rotary level controls, one for each channel.
• Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the right-hand position.

Indicators

• Signal: Two or four green LEDs, one for each channel, illuminates when the channels input signal level is above 40 dBu.
• Clip: Two or four front-panel red LEDs, one for each channel, illuminates when the channels output signal is being overdriven.
• Power: Yellow front-panel LED indicates amplifier has been turned on and AC power is available.
• AC Mains: Red front-panel LED indicates the presence of AC power at the power cord, even if the amplifier is not turned on.
• Fault: Red front-panel LED illuminates when amplifier is in protect mode. Also illuminates briefly during normal power-up when amplifier is first switched on.
• Bridge: Yellow LED indicates that amplifier is in bridge mode (Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4 in Xs 4300).
• Temp: Red LED indicates that channel(s) are in thermal protect mode.
