Rated Power Output (per channel)

350WRMS into 8Ω

The 350 has been designed around the industry standard 8S load. The 350 delivers a staggering 350WRMS continuously into 8S loads and 600WRMS into 4S loads. The 350 will also handle complex and 2S loads with stability and ease.

Frequency Response

5Hz to 40kHz ±0.25dB

This is the “standard” specification with which everyone is familiar. Actually, “frequency response” is a misnomer: technically, it should be called “amplitude response versus frequency” for it describes how uniform the amplitude or strength of signals of various frequencies is maintained. It is generally thought that a difference of 1db is the least that can be perceived by ear. To better that by a wide margin, the 350 is specified four times higher, thus far exceeding the audible range of the human ear.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N)

0.004%, @ 1kHz into 8Ω

Measurements are made with fixed, purely resistive loads. However, since speakers are not purely resistive, an amplifier’s distortion specifications do not indicate what performance will be with the actual loads presented by speakers. Perreaux distortion measurements hold for any conditions presented by any known speaker. Further, any measurable distortion in the Perreaux is second- order harmonics – the least offensive to the ear.
