    Newport Test Labs measured the output of the Pilium Elektra at a shade higher than 3.7-volts RMS via the XLR outputs for a 0dBFS digital test signal. This is fairly standard. The output at the RCA terminals (not measured) would be half this, or around 1.8-volts RMS. You can see from the tabulated results that the voltage was slightly different for the left and right channels, but the difference (i.e., channel balance) of 0.55dB, although somewhat higher than I might have expected, is not audibly significant.

    Separation between the left and right channels was outstandingly good at all three frequencies tested, with a best result of 14ldB at 16Hz. The 100dB of separation measured by Newport Test Labs at 20kHz was exemplary: there are few
