A WARNING! For optimum performance and reliability DO NOT PRESENT THE AMPLIFIER WITH A SPEAKER LOAD OF LESS THAN 2 OHMS, OR ACOMBINATION OF SPEAKERS THAT TOGETHER ARE LESS THAN 2 OHMS! Using one speaker, it must be rated at 2 ohms minimum. Using two speakers, they must be rated each at 4 ohms minimu...

Often studio engineers feel the need to defeat the DDT compressor, for fear it might color the sound in studio listening. The DDT compressor is only activated when clipping is imminent. Until this occurs, it’ssimply a passive friend. The only reason the defeat switch is there in the first place is t...

The term headroom deserves some consideration. Program material (music or speech) is made up of many different frequencies and their harmonics. Most music, especially contemporary rock music, is bass-heavy. That is, the low-frequency material contains much more energy than the high-frequency materia...
