16
Spec: No dangerous transients.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: From an on condition, turn off the amplifier
and monitor the output noise at the time of turn off. Note:
Turn off noise may increase significantly if the amplifier
is cycled off and on.
TEST 19: INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
Spec at 0 dB Output: 0.01%.
Spec at –35 dB Output: 0.05%.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: Load each channel to 8 ohms. Inject a
SMPTE standard IM signal (60 Hz and 7 kHz sine wave
mixed at 4:1 ratio). Set the 60 Hz portion of the sine wave
to 38.9 Volt RMS. Set the 7 kHz portion to 25%. With an
IM analyzer measure less than 0.01% IMD. Repeat test
at –35 dB (reference 38.9 Volt RMS, 60 Hz portion) and
measure less than 0.05% IMD.
TEST 20: CLIPPING
Spec: No protective action during test.
Initial Conditions: Controls per standard.
Procedure: Load each channel to 8 ohms. Inject a 1 kHz
sine wave at each input and drive output 6 dB into clip
for 10 seconds. The amplifier should not activate any
protective circuits (ODEP, Fault, or LF Protection).
