Frequently Asked Questions
You'll get around 120 watts RMS into 4 ohms, but keep an eye on the heat – prolonged operation at that level might require ventilation.
It's typical Bluetooth range, so expect around 30 feet with minimal obstructions; walls and interference will reduce that significantly.
Yes, the line outputs are perfect for cascading to another amp or feeding a recording interface, but you'll lose the integrated mixing functions.
