Power (1 kHz power):
2-ohm stereo (per channel): 250W
4-ohm stereo (per channel): 200W
8-ohm stereo (per channel): 145W

The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads and rated input sensitivity unless otherwise specified.

Performance
Sensitivity (volts RMS) for full rated power at 4 ohms: 0.725

Frequency Response (at 1 watt) 20 Hz to 20 kHz: +/-0.75 dB

Phase Response (degrees at 1 watt)
at 10 Hz: +10.
at 20 kHz: +19.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (20 Hz to 20 kHz)
A-weighted, below rated power: > 100 dB
No weighting, below rated power: > 95 dB

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at full bandwidth power, from 20 Hz to 1 kHz: < 0.5%

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) (60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated output to +40 dB: < 0.3%

Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz: >200

Crosstalk (below rated power)
at 1 kHz: +82 dB.
at 20 kHz: +58 dB

Voltage Gain (at maximum output): 31 dB

Power
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads. Rated for 2 to 8 ohms in Stereo, 8 ohms in Bridge-Mono

AC Line Voltages Available (+/-10%): 120VAC, 60 Hz and 230VAC, 50 Hz

Controls
Level: 2 front-panel, black rotary level controls, one for each channel

Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the UP position

Circuit Breaker: Provides overload protection

Indicators
Clip: 2 front-panel red LEDs, 1 for each channel, illuminate when the channel's output signal is being overdriven

Power: Green front-panel LED indicates amplifier has been turned on and AC power is available

Fault: Yellow front-panel LED illuminates when amplifier is in protect mode. Also illuminates briefly during normal power-up when amplifier is first switched on.

Input/Output
Input Connectors: 1 per channel; back-panel 3-pin female XLR input connectors are provided.

Input Impedance: (nominally balanced, nominally unbalanced): 20 k ohms, 10 k ohms

Output Connectors: One 4-pole Speakon(TM) connector and one pair of back-panel, 5-way binding posts per channel; accepts banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire. (European models do not accept banana plugs.)

DC Output Offset (shorted input): +/-10 millivolts

Output Signal: Stereo, unbalanced, 2-channel

Protection
XLS Series amplifiers provide extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including output current limiting, DC protection, circuit breaker, and special thermal protection for the unit's transformers.

Construction
Ventilation: Flow-through ventilation from front to back.

Cooling: Internal heat sinks with forced-air cooling for rapid, uniform heat dissipation.

Air Volume Requirements (per minute per unit): 80.15 ft
