By standard, every element features a connection lead. The extension of this lead as well as
the connection to the amplifier has to be done with suitable audio cables (respecting the
Amperage). These cables are not included in the scope of delivery.
AMPLIFIER / RECEIVER
Due to the mode of operation and the strong membrane the AMF SOUNDMOSAIC requires
slightly more power than conventional conical loudspeakers. Since, however, the performance
of the amplifier no longer tends to constitute any limitation technically or economically
nowadays, we recommend 20 W of output per strand for continuous operation of the system.
The output of a single AMF SOUNDMOSAIC can be assumed as 20 W (RMS).
RMS output
:
Root Mean Square
output
is used as a measure for the comparison of output
of loudspeakers and amplifiers with regard to their performance in replaying
music with a defined test signal similar to music.
Important to know:
With a permanent signal of more than 30 W the temperature protection inside the AMF
SOUNDMODULE is activated, protecting it from destruction. Brief emergency announcements
/ signal tones can, however, be fed in with considerably more power. Thus, for example, a
signal of 50 Watt causes an emitted sound source volume of 85 dB.
EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS
The AMF SOUNDMOSAIC can be operated with up to 80 Watt for short emergency
announcements and signal tones without damaging the system.
ADDITIONAL WEIGHT LOADS
Due to its low weight the AMF SOUNDMOSAIC can be installed in any new or existing ceiling
without special considerations (see “
LAY-OUT
” above for details). It is not necessary to
provide for additional suspension hangers for standard ceilings.
