Community loudspeaker systems have two specified input power
ratings given - one is called “continuous” or “RMS;” the other
“program.” These two ratings are given to help you understand
the operating capabilities of the system. If you are going to play
music which has very little dynamic range (such as synthesizers
or heavy-metal guitar) through the system, the “RMS” rating is
the one you need to consider. On the other hand, if your material
is composed of lots of dynamics (such as vocals, drums, short
guitar riffs, etc.) you should use the “program” rating.
All Community CSX/CSV loudspeakers have built-in special
protection circuitry: PowerSense
TM
DDP (Dynamic Driver Pro-
tection). This circuitry continuously monitors the operating
power levels of all speaker system components and provides
