HK620

INTEGRATED

AMPLIFIER

Congratulations

on

your

choice

of

the

Harman

Kardon

Integrated

Amplifier.

In

order

to

obtain

the

best

performance

from

this

integrated

amplifier,

please

be

sure

to

read

this

owner's

manual

and

use

your

integrated

amplifier

only

in

accordance

with

its

instructions.

The

special

features

of

this

unit

include:

HCC

(High

Instantaneous

Current

Capability)

The

amplifier

sections

react

rapidly

to

musical

transients,

providing

the

instantaneous

current

necessary

to

precisely

drive

and

control

nearly

any

loudspeaker

system.

Ultrawide

Bandwidth

The

bandwidth

of

this

unit

is

exceptional

ly

wide

and

is

independent

of

negative

feedback.

This

improves

transient

accuracy

and

phase

linearity.

Low

Negative

Feedback

This

unit

has

been

designed

to

have

low

distortion

and

wide

bandwidth

without

high

negative

feedback.

This

further

improves

its

dynamic

accuracy.

Discrete

Component

Circuitry

In

order

to

achieve

the

above

goals,

all

discrete

electronic

circuitry

has

been

employed.

No

available

integrated

circuits

could

provide

this

high

level

of

performance.

Sophisticated

Electronic

Protection

Circuitry

Harman

Kardon's

unique

protection

circuitry

guards

the

amplifier

from

short-

circuited

or

damaged

speakers

and

wires,

without

impairing

sound

qual

ity

by

the

use

of

current

limiting

or

output

relays.
