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,

2 ohms, or 4 ohms load impedance, which is:

14.1volts RMS across 0.5 ohm

20.0volts RMS across 1 ohm

28.3volts RMS across 2 ohms

40.0volts RMS across 4 ohms

OUTPUT LOAD IMPEDANCE

STEREO: 1 ohm, 2 ohms, 4 ohms, and 8 ohms; separate terminals are provided for each output

MONO: 0.5 ohm, 1 ohm, 2 ohms, and 4 ohms; obtained by connecting together the appropriate terminals of both channel s

RATED POWER BAND

20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION

per

channel from

20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, both channels operat ing

INTERMODULATION DISTORTION

STEREO: 0.1% maximum if instantaneous peak power output is 400 watts or less per channel with both channels operating for any comb i nat ion of frequencies, 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

MONO: 0.1% maximum if instantaneous peak power output is 800 watts or less for any combination of frequencies, 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
