Description: Solid-state monoblock power amplifier. Inputs: one unbalanced (RCA); one unbalanced Zeel (BNC); one balanced (XLR). Output power: 475W (26.8dBW, 550W peak) into 8 ohms, 625W (25.0dBW, 700W peak) into 4 ohms, 222W into 2 ohms (17.45dBW, 300W peak)—"design limited because CP2C power is delivered differently into speakers than when statically measured." Voltage gain (user selectable): 26 or 32dB into 8 ohms. Input impedance: >30k ohms, (RCA); 50 ohms, ±1 ohm (Zeel); 10k ohms per phase (XLR). Output impedance: 0.28 ohm, 20Hz–20kHz (into 8 ohms). Frequency response: 0.7Hz–700kHz, +0/–3dB; 20Hz–20kHz, +0/–0.2dB. THD: 1%, 7Hz–77kHz. Signal/noise: >115dB, A-weighted, ref. nominal power. Risetime: 0.9µs. Slew rate: >200V/µs, peak-peak. Temporal distortion: "none, at any level and load as specified above." Power consumption: 2W in standby, 40W at idle, 2kW at maximum output power.
