Approximate actual power available at "clipping" 110 watts (1kHz). (Note that actual power output is dependent upon both line voltage and "condition" i. e.: if power line has high distortion, maximum power will be affected adversely, although from a listening standpoint this is not very critical.) POWER BANDWIDTH: (-3dB points) 15Hz to 80kHz. FREQUENCY RESPONSE: (-3dB points at 1 watt) 1Hz to 100 kHz. INPUT SENSITIVITY: 1.9V RMS (Bal or SE) for rated output. (23.5 dB gain into 8 ohms.)		INPUT IMPEDANCE: 200K ohms Balanced, 100K ohms Single-ended. OUTPUT TAPS: 8 ohms, 4 ohms. OUTPUT REGULATION: Approximately 0.8dB 8 ohm load to open circuit (Damping factor approximately 11). OVERALL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK: 10dB. SLEW RATE: 15 volts/microsecond. RISE TIME: 3 microseconds. HUM & NOISE: Less than 0.5mV RMS 95dB below rated output (IHF weighted, input shorted).		POWER SUPPLY ENERGY STORAGE: Approximately 540 joules. POWER REQUIREMENTS: 105-125VAC 60Hz (210-250VAC 50Hz) 585 watts at rated output, 750 watts maximum, 380 watts at "idle".
