Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much power output does the Plinius SA-102 have?

A1: A power output of 125 watts during RMS per channel used in case of 8 ohm of plinius SA 102 is observed.

Q2: Is it possible to work with the amplifier in the bridged mode?

A2: Yes, the amplifier can be operated in bridged mode and the power output avails 460 watts RMS at an impedance of 8 ohms.

Q3: How wide is the M1 mono circuitry’s frequency response?

A3: Frequency response measures 20Hz to 20kHz with an error of ±0.2dB whilst cutoff frequency is -3dB at 5Hz and again -3dB at 70kHz.

Q4: What does the amplifier do in case of distortion?

A4: Plinius SA-102 is rated at <0.05% THD at the rated power of the unit down to 2 ohm load and at worst case immediately before clipping the distortion could be 0.1% THD + IM worst case.

Q5: How much does the SA-102 weight?

A5: The Plinius SA-102 weighs in at 38kg 83 lbs.

Q6: Are there general fuses within the amplifier? What do you do when the fuses blow?

A6: General type 10 amp normal blow fuses should be fitted, if one is damaged then the amplifier is to be repaired as it requires the same type of fuse to be replaced.

Q7: What speaker should be used for the Plinius SA-102?

A7: The speaker used should have a impedance level of between 4 to 8 ohm to drive the amplifier.

Q8: Is It Acceptable to Keep the Amplifier Powered On for an Extended Period?

A8: Certainly. Keeping the amplifier on constantly and allowing Class A to warm up for a couple of minutes for optimum sound will work perfectly.

Q9: Can Inside the Amplifier be an Option for Users who Wish to have Several Input Components to This Amplifier?

A9: Yes, XLR balanced inputs for balanced line signals are included in the Plinius SA-102.

Q10: What Restrictions Should Be Observed When Operating the Amplifier?

A10: It is critical to provide appropriate ventilation, prevent any input of the amplifier from being connected to its own outputs, and make sure it is not located near any liquids or combustible substances.
