Bassist677 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've been browsing the little mark III heads for a while and found one on ebay which is rated at 600 watt.....In my research, I haven't seen one at 600 before and wonder if its standard (don't want to take an ebay risk!). The listing pictures the serial number tag on the rear of the unit and it says 600 watt with a date of 10/2011. Anyone running one that can give me some comfort.

Musicman20 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's not the output wattage. I've seen that on eBay as well. The LM3 is definitely 500W...the 600 probably refers to actual power used perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I think the 600w rating on the label is what it draws from the mains, not the output power. The LM2/3 are rated at 500w and actually chuck out about 440w. They've never made a 600w version Edited April 9, 2012 by DirkThrust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykilz Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 You have to bear in mind that one I think you`re looking at on ebay is at one of those cash converter type places in Basildon,so they prob just looked at the back and saw 600w written next to the mains socket!!

leroydiamond Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 yep. Its 500 watts into 4 ohms. They are bloody loud though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 My LMII is 500w @ 4Ω. 600w is the power consumption. I'm off to buy a 2000w hairdryer for the Mrs. Loud, but nowhere as loud as my LMII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
