It produced 250 watts per channel at 4 Ohms. Frequency response is 20Hz to 30kHz with THD at less than 0.01 percent. It weights in at a hefty 24 kg. They also offer a two-channel version, the ST 2.0, for $500 (USD). Inputs for their entire amplifier range are via balanced XLR and there is an adjustable gain control on the rear (see photo below). An adjustment for universal voltages and auto power on sensor (switchable) appear on the rear panel as well.
