The monoblock is capable of delivering up to 300 watts of undistorted power for an 8 ohm load and up to 480 watts for 4 ohms. The famous blue-illuminated Dual Scale arrow indicator is installed on the front panel. The output stage of the amplifier is controlled by the proprietary Power Guard circuit, which protects it from overloads. And the Sentry Monitor circuit protects the cascade from a short circuit at the output, and without using a fuse insert.
