Harman Kardon CITATION 5.1 User manual

5.1 Multichannel Power Amplifier
User-Configurable Outputs
The Citation® 5.1 may be used as a four, three or two-channel
amplifier, with audiophile quality in all configurations. This
flexibility permits you to configure power levels to meet
specific system requirements upon initial installation and in later
system modifications.
High Current Design
Delivers full power to speakers even when matched with
complex impedance loads from various speaker configurations.
Low Negative Feedback
Improved sonic quality with almost total freedom from TIM
(transient intermodulation distortion), THD (total harmonic distortion) and IMD (intermodulation distortion).
Quad Power Supply
Four (4) separate power supplies, one for each output channel, eliminate crosstalk among channels and provide the highest
possible performance in bridged modes.
Power-up Sequencing
When controlled by the remote turn-on system in the 5.0 AV Controller, 5.1 Multi- channel Power Amplifiers in multiple
amplifier systems turn on sequentially, each at a slightly different time, reducing power surges in a home's electrical system.
Ultrawide Bandwidth Design
Delivers all the subtleties of the source material, even inaudible harmonics that contribute to sonic performance. A Citation
design and engineering hallmark.
Oversize Heat Sinks
Fan-free convection cooling assures high system reliability and quiet operation.
THX™ Certified
The 5.1 Multichannel Power Amplifier meets or exceeds THX standards for sonic performance in the bridged mode or when
used with Dual-Drive Dipoles™.
