The IOTAVX PA3 is a two-channel Class AB stereo power amplifier that can also operate in bridged mono mode. It uses a toroidal power transformer and discrete amplifier stages, with RCA line inputs and a stereo RCA pre-out for signal pass-through. The manufacturer specifies 45 W per channel into 8 ohms or 70 W per channel into 4 ohms under its stated test conditions; bridged output is rated at 100 W into 8 ohms or 140 W into 4 ohms. Other published product listings give different power figures, so these ratings reflect the manufacturer's manual.
