@jackfish, dont believe everything you read, Allot of the spec's you see are not actual. |
Just what do you mean by "not actual"? I understand that home entertainment amplifiers must now conform to the FTC rules but pro audio and automobile amplifiers are not covered. However, for the educated there can be discernment between manufacturer power ratings to assess relative performance. What is a problem for some people is not always what is revealed, but is often what is omitted.
The power ratings for the Tapco Juice amps don't omit much. They list their two channel power ratings as watts of Continuous Sine Wave Average Output (not the misnomer RMS) per channel, both channels driven, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, into 2, 4 and 8 ohms. Total Harmonic Distortion is stated as 20 Hz to 20 kHz < 0.03% @ 8 ohms. A call to Tapco reveals that THD is at +4 dBu, the standard pro audio voltage reference level equal to 1.23 Vrms. What is "not actual" about all of that?
So, you are saying that Tapco Juice Amps ratings are false?
