Specifications
Explained
Rated Power Output
(per channel)
................................................ 160W
RMS
into 8
Ω
The 6160 has been designed around the industry standard 8Ω load. The 6160
delivers a staggering 160W
RMS
continuously into 8Ω loads and 225W
RMS
into
4Ω loads. The 6160 will also handle complex and 2Ω loads with stability an
d
ease when operated in NORMAL mode. Load impedances lower than 8Ω ar
e
not recommended when operating in BRIDGED mode.
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 “amplitud
e
response versus frequency” for it describes how uniform the amplitude o
r
strength of signals of various frequencies is maintained. It is generally though
t
that a difference of 1db is the least that can be perceived by ear. To better tha
t
by a wide margin, the 6160 is specified four times higher, thus far exceeding th
e
audible range of the human ear.
Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD+N)
.............................. 0.005%, @ 1kHz into 8
Ω
Measurements are made with fixed, purely resistive loads. However, sinc
e
speakers are not purely resistive, an amplifier’s distortion specifications do no
t
indicate what performance will be with the actual loads presented by speakers.
Perreaux distortion measurements hold for any conditions presented by an
y
known speaker. Further, any measurable distortion in the Perreaux is second-
order harmonics – the least offensive to the ear.
Voltage Gain......................................................................................................27.6dB
The amount of amplification the amplifier is asserting on the input signal. Gai
n
can be calculated by dividing the rated output by the input sensitivity.
