Notes:



Technical data:

Output voltage: Well above 5V RMS on all loads

Sensitivity: 250mV input for 5V RMS output

Frequency response: Flat from 30Hz to 20KHz

Total harmonic distortion @ 1KHz & 10KHz: Below 0.005% on 32 Ohms load and up to 4V RMS output (typical 0.003%)
Total harmonic distortion @ 1KHz & 10KHz: Below 0.005% on 100 to 2000 Ohms load and up to 5V RMS output (typical 0.003%)

Unconditionally stable on capacitive loads
