PERFORMANCE

McIntosh audio power ratings are in accordance with
the Federal Trade Commission Regulation of Novem-
ber 4, 1974 concerning power output claims for ampli-
fiers used in home entertainment products.

INTERMODULATION DISTORTION

0.2% if instantaneous peak power is twice rated con-
tinuous average power or less per channel with both
channels operating for any combination of frequencies
