Important notes
Please notice the following:
- The technical specifications refer to room temperature.
- The power amplifier doesn’t contain any coaxial relays.
- The recommended combination of heat sink and fan(s) is only specified for an ambient temperature of 25 °C.
- Further information about dimensioning of heat sinks is available on our FAQ site.
