Performance
Frequency Response, 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1
watt,
CH 1, CH 2, CL 1 & CL 2: ±0.1 dB.
CH 4 & CL 4: ±0.25 dB.
Phase Response: ±15 degrees from 20 Hz to
20 kHz at 1 watt.
Signal to Noise Ratio, A-Weighted,
CH 1, CH 2, CL 1 & CL 2: Better than 105 dB
below rated 1-kHz power.
CH 4 & CL 4: Better than 102 dB below rated
1-kHz power.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), 1 kHz at
rated power: 0.5% or less true THD from 20Hz
to 20 kHz.
Intermodulation Distortion (60 Hz and 7 kHz
at 4:1): Less than 0.1% at rated power to 30 dB
below rated power at 8 ohms.
Damping Factor (8 ohm),
CH 1, CH 2, CL 1 & CL 2: Better than 400
from 10 Hz to 400 Hz.
CH 4 & CL 4: Better than 700 from 10 Hz to 400 Hz.
Crosstalk, 20 Hz to 20 kHz: Better than 50 dB
below rated power.
Common Mode Rejection (CMR): Better than
70 dB from 20 Hz to 1 kHz.
DC Output Offset (Shorted Input): ±10 mV Controls
Level: A detented rotary level
control for each channel
located on the rear panel.
Power: An on/off rocker switch
located on the front panel.
Mode: A two-position switch located
on the back panel which, when turned to “Stereo,” operates the amplifier
as two independent channels. When “Bridge” is selected, the amplifier bridges
the two output channels for twice the output voltage.
Channel Operation Switch (CH
Series only): A two-position switch located on the back panel which, when
turned to 4/8 Ohm, sets the amplifier to drive low-impedance speaker loads.
Turning the switch to70V/100V (70V only on the CH4) sets the amplifier
to drive distributed high-impedance speaker loads and inserts a 70-Hz high-pass
filter into the signal chain to prevent step-down transformer saturation.
Indicators Signal: A green indicator
for each channel which
flashes when a very low-level
signal (>-40 dBm) ispresent at input. May be used for troubleshooting cable
runs.
Clip: A red indicator for each
channel which turns on when distortion becomes audible in the amplifier
output.
Fault: A red indicator for each
channel which indicates amplifier has muted output. Normally off. Status
may be monitored remotely by plugging into back-panel RJ11 Fault
jack.
Power: A blue indicator that
turns on when the amplifier has been turned on and has power.
Input/Output Input Connector
(standard module): One Neutrik Combo connector for each channel which features
a balanced ¼-inch (6.35-mm) phone jack and a 3-pin female XLR connector,
in parallel with a barrier striptermination.
Input Stage: Input is electronically
balanced and employs precision 1% resistors.
Input Impedance: Nominally 20
k ohms, balanced. Nominally 10 k ohms, unbalanced.
Input Sensitivity: Channel independent.
Factory set t 1.4 volts for standard 1-kHz, 8-ohm power. 26-dB gain and
0.775-volt sensitivity available as a ServiceOption.
Output Connectors, CH1
and CH2: Four-terminal touch-proof barrier block, one per channel, allows
connection of load to 8-ohm, 4-ohm, 70V or 100V outputs. CH4: Four-terminal
touch-proof barrier block.
CL Series: Four-terminal touch-proof
barrier block.
Output Signal,
Stereo: Unbalanced, two-channel.
Bridge-Mono: Balanced, single-channel.
Channel 1controls are active; Channel 2 should be turned down.
Protection
CH and CL Series amplifiers
are protected against shorted, open or mismatched loads; overloaded power
supplies; excessive temperature, chain destruction phenomena, input overload
damage and high-frequency blowups. They also protect loudspeakers from
input/output DC, large or dangerous DC offsets and turn-on/turn-off transients.

100-Hz Linkwitz-Riley crossover with stereo sub-bass output; SST-SX: 80-/120-Hz
switchable Linkwitz-Riley crossover with mono summed sub-bass output.
