(The results shown are for the left channel. Except as noted, the measurements were made using the amplifier's balanced inputs).

From its single-ended RCA inputs to its speaker outputs, the P1000 amplifier measured–0.40dB at 10 Hz, -0.01dB at 20 Hz, -0.15dB at 20 kHz and –0.84dB at 50 kHz.

From its balanced XLR inputs to its speaker outputs, the amplifier measured –0.04 dB at 10 Hz, -0.00dB at 20 Hz, -0.16dB at 20 kHz and –0.88dB at 50 kHz.

The P1000's gain measured (balanced results in parenthesis) +31.29dB (25.35dB) with the Gain switch set to "A," +28.84 (22.89) in "B," and +26.09 (20.15) in "C." The amplifier's

S/N ratio, A-weighted from 10Hz – 24kHz at 1W into 8 ohms measured –100.73.dB at its single-ended input and –99.05dB at the balanced input (Gain set to "A" in both cases).

The THD+noise at 1W into 8 ohms was 0.011% at 20 Hz, 0.012% at 1 kHz and 0.010% at 20 kHz. At 2W into 4 ohms it measured 0.012% at 20 Hz, 0.012% at 1 kHz and 0.011% at 20 kHz using the balanced input.

With all 7 channels driven into 8 ohms, the P1000 clipped (1% THD+noise, to the nearest Watt) at 148 Watts per channel at 20 Hz and 173 WPC at 1 kHz. The corresponding results into 4 ohms were 193Wpc at 20 Hz and 234 Wpc at 1 kHz.

With two channels driven, the amplifier clipped (1% THD+noise) at 237 Wpc into 8 ohms and 359 Wpc into 4 ohms (at 1kHz). The main fuse blew attempting to take these measurements and had to be replaced by a larger one to obtain a reading. –TJN
