We recommend you to design the power distribution for at least the current at 1/8 power, and 1/3 power for heavy-
duty demands such as concert touring and industrial music etc.
The heat power
can be calculated as follows:
If a headroom figure of at least 5dB (1/3 of full power) is used with a 4 ohms load on each output of the amplifier.
The 1/3 power per channel is then; 650 / 3 = 217watts, and the total output power = 2 x 217 = 433 watts.
The power consumption according to the chart above is then 1330watts.
The heat power produced
is the difference between the power consumption and output power;
1120 - 433 = 687 watts total for the amplifier.
