Notes for data

1. Maximum RMS applicable power for a musical signal, the reference
signal is the one proposed by EIAJ standard.
2. Measured @4 mt then scaled @1 mt
3. Amplifier wattage rating is based on the maximum unclipped burst sine
wave RMS voltage that the amplifier will produce into the nominal load
impedance.

New materials and design are introduced into existing products without
