JDS Labs Element IV
6.35mm (1/4") headphone output standard; 4.4mm balanced headphone output available upon request with same 3200 mW output. Gain is auto-toggling between 1.0x and 5.0x (+14 dB). Output impedance is specified as < 1 Ω. Max continuous power: 174 mW @ 600 Ω (10.22 Vrms), 692 mW @ 150 Ω (10.19 Vrms), 3.2 W @ 32 Ω (10.18 Vrms). maxCurrentMa calculated from 32 Ω load: 10.18 V / 32 Ω ≈ 318 mA. Built-in DSP with up to 24 individual EQ bands.
