PERFORMANCE
Mc Intosh audio power rat i ngs are in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Regulation of November 4, 1974 concerning power output claims for a m p l i - fiers used in home entertainment products.
MONO: 0.1% maximum harmonic distortion at any power level from 250 m i l l i w a t t s to 400 watts from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
POWER OUTPUT
STEREO: 200 watts m i n i m u m sine wave continuous average power output, per channel, both channel's operating into 1 ohm, 2 ohms, 4 ohms, or 8 ohms load impedance, which i s:
14.1volts RMS across 1 ohm
20.0volts RMS across 2 ohms
28.3volts RMS across 4 ohms
40.0volts RMS across 8 ohms
MONO: 400 watts minimum sine wave continuous average power output into 0.5 ohm, 1 ohm,
