Performance Specs

One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements.The PS Audio PMG S400 is rated at 200 watts RMS into 8-ohms. PS Audio provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of under 0.002% typical, 20Hz to 20kHz at 1W into 8 ohms which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).

Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:

  • 200 watts into 8-ohms at under 0.002% typical, 20Hz to 20kHz at 1W into 8 ohms
  • 400 watts into 4-ohms

How loud will 200 watts actually play in your room? →

Which speakers suit the PS Audio PMG S400?

200 W into 8 ohms, 400 W into 4. We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current delivery.

We check power, impedance safety and current delivery — not just watts.

When pairing the PS Audio PMG S400 with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels. Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
