600-HP Specifications
1. Recommended maximum operating
frequency range. Response depends on
loading conditions and room acoustics.
2. Free field, measured with 1/3-octave
frequency resolution at 4 meters.
3. Measured with music referred to 1
meter, half-space loading.
4. Power handling is measured under
AES standard conditions: transducer
driven continuously for two hours with
band-limited noise signal having a 6
dB peak-average ratio.
5. Amplifier wattage rating based on the
maximum unclipped burst sine-wave
rms voltage that the amplifier will
produce for at least 0.5 seconds into
the nominal load impedance: both
channels 67 V rms into 4 ohms.
6. Peak power based on the maximum
unclipped peak voltage that the
amplifier will produce for at least 100
milliseconds into the nominal load
impedance: both channels 95 V pk into
4 ohms.
7. Measured using pink noise as an input
signal.
8. AC power cabling must be of sufficient
gauge so that under burst current rms
conditions, cable transmission losses
do not drop voltage below specified
operating range at the speaker.

architect specifications
The loudspeaker shall be a self-powered, sub-bass system that
may be deployed as either a flown or a ground-stacked unit. The
transducers shall consist of two 15-inch cone drivers (4-inch
voice coil) each rated to handle 1200 AES* watts.
The loudspeaker shall incorporate internal processing electronics
and a two-channel amplifier. Each amplifier channel shall be
class AB/H with complementary MOSFET output stages. Burst
power shall be 2250 watts (4500 watts peak) with a nominal 4-
