RMB-1066; Power Output

[Atano]

Hi!

I have a Rotel RMB-1066 6-channel power amplifier. Reading the manual tells me it has a 6x60w/8 Ohm or 3x150w/8 Ohm power output. What I need to know is, what's the poweroutput measured in 4 Ohm, both bridged and non-bridged on this amplifier?

Thanks for a great forum and hangout place for Rotel fans. :T

Atano,

The RMB-1066 is intended for multi-room installations or less demanding main rooms. Basically its power output is limited by the current drive from it's transformer to not much over 450W. So you get 6 x 60W or 5 x 70W or (bridged) 3 x 150W... Bottom line in non bridged mode with 6 channels driven yoou'll get about 75W into 4 ohms and when bridged it is not rated to support 4 ohm loads... (ie 3 x 8 Ohm loads NOT 3 x 4 ohm!

It's a great little amp, but not the source of bottomless cheap power, especially for 4 ohm loads!
