FTC Power Output
280 watts minimum sine wave continuous average power per channel with both channels driving 8 ohm loads. Maximum total harmonic distortion from 1 watt to 280 watts and from 20Hz to 20kHz is .03%.
450 watts minimum sine wave continuous average power per channel with both channels driving 4 ohm loads. Maximum total harmonic distortion from 1 watt 450 watts and from 20Hz to 20kHz is .06%.
900 watts minimum sine wave continuous average power into an 8 ohm load driven in bridged monoaural operation. Maximum total harmonic distortion from 2 watts to 900 watts and from 20Hz to 20kHz is .06%.
All measurements assume 120 VAC or equivalent supplied to the power cord.
