APPENDIX B APPENDIx b mm-4 Specifications Acoustical (mm-4CEU required) Note: To realize the MM-4’s full capabilities, an MM-4CEU must be used. The amplifier driving the loudspeakers should be capable of 49 volts RMS at the rated load impedance, and provide a voltage gain between 10 and 30 dB (20 dB for optimal S/N ratio and protection). The power rating of the amplifier should be as follows: 1 MM-4/ch (16 Ω): 150 W; 2 MM-4/ch (8 Ω): 300 W; 4 MM-4/ch (4 Ω): 600 W; 8 MM-4/ch (2 Ω): 1200 W
