Power Amplifier Reviews

This graph shows that the 3k6SE3's left amplifier channel, with two channels driving 8-ohm loads, reaches 0.1% distortion at 341.6 watts and 1% distortion at 414.5 watts. Into 4 ohms, the amplifier reaches 0.1% distortion at 623.5 watts and 1% distortion at 693.7 watts. An input level of 90.7 millivolts was required to produce an output of 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load, indicating an overall gain of 29.9 decibels. With all channels driving 8-ohm loads, the amp reaches 0.1% distortion at 330.2 watts and 1% distortion at 348.5 watts.

The amplifier's frequency response was +/-0.12 dB from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. The response dropped to -0.40 dB at 10 Hz and to -0.56 dB at 50 kHz. THD+N from the amplifier was less than 0.13% at 1 kHz when driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load. Crosstalk at 1 kHz driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load was -59.78 dB left to right and -60.56 dB right to left. The signal-to-noise ratio with 2.83 volts driving an 8-ohm load from 10 Hz to 24 kHz with "A" weighting was -98.55 dBrA.—AJ
