■ Power modules with 6-parallel push-pull arrangement of power MOS-FETs deliver a guaranteed linear output of 360 watts per channel into 1 ohm (music signals only), 180 watts into 2 ohms, 90 watts into 4 ohms, or 45 watts into 8 ohms. ■ Amply dimensioned power supply with high-efficiency toroidal transformer and two large 47,000 μF filtering capacitors. ■ Bridged mode allows upgrading to monophonic amplifier with 720 watts into 2 ohms (music signals only), 360 watts into 4 ohms, or 180 watts into 8 ohms. ■ Revised NFB design minimizes output impedance and increases damping factor, resulting in further improved sound quality. ■ Fully balanced input stage shuts out external noise interference. ■ Mode selector for easy switching between dual mono/stereo/bridged operation ■ Front panel input type selector (line/balanced). ■ 4-step gain control (MAX, -3 dB, -6 dB, -12 dB) minimizes residual noise. ■ Large analog power meters with operation/illumination and sensitivity selector. ■ Speaker protection uses semiconductor (MOS-FET) switch. Elimination of mechanical switches assures long-term reliability and improved signal purity, resulting in further improved sound quality. ■ PCB copper foil and all major signal path components are goldplated. ■ Two sets of speaker outputs, with large terminals that accept also Y lugs
