Description: Solid state integrated amplifier with four stereo channels of GaN FET–based class-D amplification, built-in phono preamplification (MM and MC), variable phono-EQ, and a variety of other features. Amplifier output: 4 × 200Wpc into 8 ohms (23dBW) or 4 ohms (20dBW) or 2 × 400Wpc into 8 ohms (26dBW) bridged. Input sensitivity: 2V (balanced), 1V (unbalanced) for maximum output. Phono input: 5mV (MM), 0.5mV (MC). Input impedance: 44k ohms (balanced), 47k ohms (unbalanced and phono, MM and MC). Frequency response: 10Hz– 90kHz ±1dB. THD (balanced and unbalanced, line input): 0.005% (50W). S/N ratio, line input: 107dB (bridged), 105dB (balanced and unbalanced), 80dB (MM phono), 60dB (MC phono). Output impedance (speaker output): 0.053 ohms. Subsonic filter: –3dB at 50Hz. Tone control, adjustable: bass (100Hz), treble (10kHz) ±15dB. Active crossover: high-pass, –3dB at 600Hz–6kHz, variable in steps. Phono EQ turnover, flat to 700Hz (+14.5dB @100Hz) in five steps (including RIAA setting); rolloff, flat to 6.36kHz (–5dB at 10kHz) in six steps (including RIAA setting). IR remote control included.
