CHOOSING THE CORRECT AMPLIFICATION
TRx Loudspeakers are designed to be used with professional power
amplifiers capable of producing the correct power into equivalent
speaker loads. Care should be taken to avoid amplifier clipping. Due
to the fact that music signals have a high peak-to-average “crest”
factor, a lesser power amplifier driven into clipping is more likely to
damage a speaker than a higher power amplifier used within its
ratings. When an amplifier is over driven, its output waveform is
clipped or squared off reducing the crest factor. If an amplifier is
extremely over driven, the output waveform can approach that of
a square wave. Under these extreme conditions, an amplifier is
capable of producing far more power than its un-distorted rated
power output. The use of amplifiers with outputs greater than
those recommended is discouraged.
Carvin recommends an amplifier capable of producing at least the
power rating of the speaker up to 1.5 times the power rating of the
speaker. (See
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
).
Always turn on the amplifiers after the mixer and control systems
have been powered on. This will eliminate power peaks due to switch
on surges which can damage loudspeakers. When powering down the
system, reverse the sequence and switch off the power amplifiers first.
