PSE14 - Mains to Acoustic Efficiency
Presenter:Claudio Lastrucci, Powersoft S.p.a. - Scandicci (FI), Italy
A case study related to Power requirements to feed a subwoofer cabinet at high levels is pursued. Standardized signals and program audio signals are applied and results are directly measured on real devices.
Measurements on true power input, true power output and overall efficiency in the amplification chain has been addressed including different amplification topologies. As a result, surprising high overall mains input to acoustic output chain efficiency is evidenced in the specific, usable, passband of the speaker.
