Choosing the Correct Amplification
When selecting an amplifier for use with your distributed speaker system, it is important to choose an
amplifier that has sufficient power output.
Choosing an amplifier that does not have adequate rated power may result in pushing the amp beyond its
limits, producing distortion or “ clipping” of the signal. This can irritate the listener and may cause damage
to the speaker.
Choosing an amplifier that is over-powered can result in over-driving the speaker system.
Using Multiple Loudspeakers
It is important to consider the overall speaker load (impedance) when connecting distributed speaker sys-
tems to an amplifier. Some distributed loudspeakers are marked in load impedance; others show the
wattage taps. Whatever the, case, it is easy to compute the total impedance (or wattage load) that is possi-
ble for a given amplifier.
